EMERALD HEALTH THERAPEUTICS ANNOUNCES AMENDMENT FROM HEALTH CANADA FOR PURE SUNFARMS CULTIVATION LICENSE, EXPANDING CANNABIS PRODUCTION AREA TO APPROXIMATELY 550,000 SQUARE FEET IN ONE OF THE SINGLE LARGEST CANNABIS GROWING FACILITIES IN THE

Emerald Health Therapeutics Inc. and Village Farms International Inc.'s 50/50 joint venture for large-scale, low-cost, high-quality cannabis production, Pure Sunfarms, has received from Health Canada its fourth amendment to the cultivation licence for its Delta 3 greenhouse in Delta, B.C. This amendment permits Pure Sunfarms to expand its cannabis production area to 550,000 square feet -- half of the 1.1-million-square-foot Delta 3 production facility. The newly licensed area is expected to be in full production by mid-October of this year.

"It's a remarkable achievement to now have 550,000 square feet -- half of the 1.1-million-square-foot Delta 3 facility -- approved for production just six months since receiving the initial cultivation licence," said Michael DeGiglio, chief executive officer of Village Farms. "I am tremendously proud of the Pure Sunfarms team."

"Pure Sunfarms is making great strides to achieve high-quality, low-cost cannabis production ahead of the Canadian government's legalization of adult-use cannabis on Oct. 17," said Chris Wagner, CEO of Emerald.

In July, Pure Sunfarms received its sales licence from Health Canada, permitting it to sell cannabis produced in the Delta 3 greenhouse facility. Pure Sunfarms expects to have the full 1.1-million-square-foot Delta 3 facility, one of the single largest cannabis growing facilities in the world, converted for cannabis production by year-end. The technologically advanced Delta 3 greenhouse design is based on decades of large-scale, low-cost agricultural production experience and extensive cannabis expertise, resulting in a state-of-the-art facility with 17 grow rooms (nine of which are now licensed) optimized for year-round harvesting (more than 85 harvests annually) and an automated process line encompassing harvesting, trimming, drying and packaging.
