CALGARY, ALBERTA -- (Marketwired) -- 03/10/15 -- Maple Leaf Green World (TSX VENTURE: MGW) ("Maple Leaf" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary, Golden State Green World LLC, has entered into an agreement to purchase approximately 20 acres of land in southern California for an aggregate purchase price of US$120,000. The Company has agreed to pay US$15,000 in cash, with the balance payable by way of a promissory note secured by a Deed of Trust and bearing interest at the rate of 6% per annum. The maturity date on the promissory note is March 1, 2020. Maple Leaf expects title to the purchased property will be transferred to its subsidiary within the next week, so the Company can start preparing the ground for the construction of the Facility.
This land in California will serve as the site upon which the Company plans to construct the cold frame greenhouses (the "Facility") required to grow medical marijuana plants. Such plants will be used to meet the medical needs of the non-profit Collective ("Collective") in California with which the Company previously announced a joint venture arrangement (see news releases dated January 15th, 2015, and October 28th and November 18th, 2014). With each cold frame measuring about 3,000 sq ft, the 20 acres site is large enough to accommodate future expansion (by way of additional cold frame greenhouses) should the demand from the Collective increase beyond current levels.
"We are excited to find this piece of land that is flat, remote and secured, perfectly set up for the operation and to be able to structure the acquisition on terms acceptable to the Company and the vendor. We have also retained a crew to drill the water well and prepare the ground for construction. Once we can fund the construction of the Facility, we expect it will take about 2 months to complete construction, after which the Collective can start cultivating the marijuana," said President and C.E.O. of Maple Leaf, Raymond Lai.
