Standard Graphite Acquires Medi-Can Health & Changes Name to Choom Holdings Inc.
Trading on CSE to Commence Next Week
VANCOUVER, Nov. 17, 2017 /CNW/ - Choom™ (formerly "Standard Graphite Corp.") is pleased to announce that it has completed its previously announced acquisition of Medi-Can Health Solutions Ltd. In connection with the acquisition, the Company has changed its name to "Choom Holdings Inc." The Company has received conditional approval to list on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE") and, subject to obtaining final approval of the CSE, expects to commence trading on the CSE under the trading symbol "CHOO" on Wednesday, November 22, 2017.
The Company and its new subsidiary are now doing business under the Choom™ brand.
Choom™ is a cannabis production and sales licence applicant under Health Canada's Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (ACMPR) with a facility located in Vernon, B.C. with extensive cannabis cultivation equipment. Choom's planned phase 1 cannabis production facility will be capable of producing approximately 660 kg/year of dried cannabis and its planned phase 2 expansion plans would increase its cannabis production capacity to a total of 1500 kg/year.
Choom™ will focus its business on the highest quality handcrafted cannabis strains and intends to develop a unique lifestyle brand for cannabis in Canada, subject to obtaining a cannabis cultivation and retail sales licence and the legalization of cannabis for non-medicinal uses.
Choom™ plans to feature a range of curated, handcrafted strains ideally suited for Canada's emerging cannabis market. The Okanagan Valley, which includes the cities of Vernon and Kelowna, features British Columbia's world class wineries, lakes, orchards, golf courses and ski hills, which draws approximately 1.9 million visitors annually.
Further to the listing on the CSE, the Company is voluntarily delisting from the TSX Venture Exchange. The Company also reports that it has granted 3,150,000 incentive stock options to directors, officers, employees and consultants, each at an exercise price of $0.17 per share.
SAY HELLO TO CHOOMTM
Choom™ was created for and inspired by the Choom Gang; a group of high school buddies in Honolulu during the early 1970's who loved to smoke weed—or as they called it, "choom". Now, after four decades, ChoomTM is bringing the spirit of Hawaii to the Okanagan and Canada. We're planting our flag in the rapidly growing legal cannabis industry in Canada with our own brand of high-grade handcrafted herb.
"Chris Bogart"
President & CEO
