/THIS NEWS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/

VANCOUVER, April 24, 2018 /CNW/ - Speakeasy Cannabis Club Ltd. EASY (Frankfurt: 39H) (the "Company") Construction of the phase 2 development, a purpose-built, multiple-room production facility, and extraction facility is well under way at Speakeasy Cannabis Club., a late stage applicant awaiting cultivation license under the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (ACMPR).

The building site for the phase 2 facility has been leveled and prepared for the instillation of the screw pile foundation expected within the next 2 weeks.  The buildings are expected to arrive May 1st and expected to be completed by early June, and by the end of September the interior build-out is expected.

While the facility was originally planned for 80,000 square feet, utilizing best practices learned from previous developments, the design was optimized to incorporate an extraction facility. The additional space will provide added capacity to accommodate administrative and production staff. The new facilities will house 1,600 lights spanning 40,600 square-foot flowering rooms, maximizing available floor space and allowing for a fully controlled and optimized environment facilitating a harvest every two week and enabling the grow teams to complete all their procedures in the same day.

Commencing October, Speakeasy Cannabis Club will have an initial production run rate of approximately 8,100 KG increasing to 11,000 KG of cannabis per year based on the improvements realized from phase 1 plus the construction of the phase 2 facility. Given the unique climate and location of Rock Creek "Marijuana Country" in British Columbia, the Company is in a position to cultivate some of the highest quality Cannabis in Canada.  With access to significant Natural Gas, Water and Electricity, the property's infrastructure makes Speakeasy Cannabis Club very competitive in comparison to other producers while producing high-quality cannabis at one of the lowest cost per gram in the industry.
