TORONTO, June 21, 2018 /CNW/ - Cannabis Growth Opportunity Corp. ("CGOC") CGOC today announced that it has entered into a strategic partnership with Battalion Consol Corp. ("Battalion") to accelerate the monetization of mutual private investments and share new investment opportunities.

Also, as part of the agreement, Battalion will issue $500,000 CAD (face value) of Senior Convertible Notes to CGOC. The partnership represents an increased investment in CGOC by the private investment equity firm.

"We are excited to add to our current holdings in CGOC at this level," said John Paul Jeffrey, Managing Director, Battalion.

"Battalion's portfolio of EBITDA-positive private and public companies presents opportunities for mutual value creation by way of potential synergies and partnerships," said Jamie Blundell, President & COO, CGOC. "We aim to give our investors access to the expertise and focus needed to grow in this unique market.
