James E. Wagner Cultivation Receives Partial Occupancy at Second Facility

Kitchener, Ontario — November 8, 2018 — /D.M.O. Newswire/ — James E. Wagner Cultivation Corporation (“JWC” or the “Corporation”) (TSXV:JWCA), is pleased to announce that on November 2, 2018, following a building inspection, the Corporation received a permit for partial occupancy (the “Permit”) of its second facility (“JWC 2”). Since receiving the main building permits in July 2018, JWC has been working at a rapid pace of construction, as part of the Corporation’s plan to bring JWC 2 to a high-level of production in 2019.

The Permit is an essential step towards bringing plants into cultivation at JWC2, as it allows the Corporation to make the necessary preparations for all aspects of cultivation activities throughout the rooms currently being developed during the first phase of construction. JWC anticipates that the first phase of construction of JWC 2, once complete, will include the following: one large vegetative growth room, eight flowering rooms, one trimming and processing room, one drying room, one destruction room, one secure storage room, and one equipment manufacturing shop. Additionally, JWC intends to submit applications in the coming weeks for occupancy of the office space at JWC 2, which has been under construction concurrently. The custom designed head office space is intended to further support the ongoing expansion of JWC and will provide space for additional staff to manage and support JWC’s cultivation operations.

JWC 2 is designed to provide a total of approximately 345,000 square feet of state-of-the-art cultivation space. It is anticipated that this retro-fitted facility will feature more than 130 production rooms at the completion of construction sometime in 2019. Like the Corporation’s existing pilot facility, JWC 2 will also utilize advanced research and cultivation methods, including the Corporation’s proprietary aeroponic GrowthSTORM™ system. Upon completion of the construction of JWC 2, the Corporation anticipates that it will employ more than 450 employees.
