Cultivation; Full Planting Targeted for End of April

  Pure Sunfarms' large-scale facility with 16 grow rooms is optimized for year-round production and expected to yield

VICTORIA, British Columbia, March 11, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Emerald Health Therapeutics, Inc. ("Emerald") (TSXV:EMH
--->; OTCQX:EMHTF)
today announced that its 50%-owned joint venture for large-scale, low-cost, high-quality cannabis production, Pure Sun
--->farms Corp. ("Pure Sunfarms"),
received from Health Canada its seventh amendment to its cultivation license for its 1.1 million square foot greenhous
--->e in Delta, BC. The additional
approximately 206,000 square feet of growing area in the fourth and final quadrant of the greenhouse brings Pure Sunfa
--->rms' total licensed cannabis
production area to approximately 1.03 million sq. ft. in 16 grow rooms. The newly licensed area is expected to be full
--->y planted by the end of March.

"Pure Sunfarms is now licensed across all its growing areas and we congratulate their team for this significant accomp
--->lishment," said Dr. Avtar Dhillon,
President and Executive Chairman of Emerald. "With Emerald's 50% stake in one of the largest fully operational cannabi
--->s production facilities in the
world, we expect to realize significant economic value from Pure Sunfarms. We expect our supply agreement with Pure Su
--->nfarms for 40% of its 2019
production, along with our Quebec and hemp operations, to support strong quarter to quarter sales growth this year."

Pure Sunfarms is now replanting Quadrant 1 of the greenhouse following the planned suspension of production in that ar
--->ea last autumn to begin the
process of installing supplemental lighting to maximize yields in the winter months. This project is planned to be com
--->pleted in Q3, when supplemental
lighting will again be required. Pure Sunfarms expects Quadrant 1 to be fully replanted by the end of April 2019, at w
--->hich time Pure Sunfarms will be in
production in the entire 1.03 million square feet of cultivation space.

Last week, Pure Sunfarms announced a wholesale supply agreement with Canna Farms Ltd., which will offer a select varie
--->ty of Pure Sunfarms-
branded high-quality dried flower products to Canna Farms' medical clients for retail purchase. This initiative is int
--->ended to help expand the marketing
and sales reach of Pure Sunfarms' branded products.
