Medical Marijuana Project in California, U.S.A.

The Company has been advised by its Joint Venture Partner Collective ("Collective") in California that it has successfully found a suitable location in Southern California for constructing the growing facility as announced in the Company's January 15th press release. The Collective is in the process of securing the property and construction can be started immediately once the Company has secured the necessary funding.

"Given the good progress on our MMPR application, even though it takes longer than we expected, we can concentrate our efforts and energy on the Company's California project, with the objective of bringing it into operation and cash flow generation later this year," said Maple Leaf President and CEO Raymond Lai.
