Gold to Manufacture Jack n Jane
Cannabis Products in Canada
The agreement includes 35 products to be launched over a 2-year
term, including similar products that have been previously launched
by Yield Growth subsidiary and cannabis wellness brand Wright &
Well, in Oregon, U.S. Yield Growth has developed the cannabis brand
Jack n Jane especially for the Canadian market, with dozens of
cannabis 2.0 products planned using proprietary formulas from Yield
Growth's extensive catalogue.
The agreement states the parties will
work towards an initial summer 2020 launch with THC-infused topical
balm, gel, massage oil and THC and CBD tinctures, as seen in the
Wright & Well collection. THC pre-rolls, live resin and gummies
are planned for launch in late 2020 and THC-infused mints and
chocolates, as well as CBD skin care products are planned to launch
in 2021. Cannabis-infused beverages, teas, capsules and intimacy
products are planned to follow. The formulas for the 35 products in
the line come from Yield Growth's extensive formula library. These
formulas are all natural, plant-based, and developed with Ayurvedic
principles. The topical products contain Yield Growth's proprietary
hemp root oil, made using Yield Growth's proprietary and
patent-pending extraction technology. Argentia Gold expects to
fulfill the licensing requirements to sell cannabis products in 3
provinces next month, with plans underway to obtain sales licenses
in 7 more provinces this year.
"We
are extremely excited to be embarking on this new initiative.
Argentia Gold has the cannabis cultivation and processing licenses
to enable us to launch our Jack n Jane products in Canada. The
execution of this agreement marks the culmination of years of work
by our product development, branding, legal and marketing teams,"
says Penny White, Yield Growth co-founder and CEO. "After launching
20 cannabis and personal care products in the past 16 months, while
developing a diverse range of brands, we have gained the expertise
to launch a range of cannabis 2.0 products into the Canadian market
over the next 2 years."
"Our partnership with Yield Growth delivers a line of
products that greatly expands our offerings and further positions
Argentia Gold as a leader in this newly emerging market of
beverages, edibles and topicals," says Dave Thomson, Argentia Gold
President. "Argentia Gold's expertise in the cannabis and consumer
packaged goods sectors will allow Yield Growth to successfully
enter the infused market and paves the way for the two companies to
potentially become major players in cannabis 2.0 in Canada."
Under the agreement, Jack n Jane will
provide non-cannabis raw materials, bulk product, product
formulation information, product development, marketing, packaging
and labels, and sales support. Argentia's obligations are to
provide cannabis ingredients, manufacturing services, ensure
regulatory compliance, and distribute the products throughout
Canada. The term of the agreement is 2 years, and the parties agree
to equally split the profits after costs recoupment. Yield Growth
retains all intellectual property in its Jack n Jane brand and
formulations. This is not a related party transaction and no
finders fees are payable for this agreement.
Yield Growth already has the required
child-resistant packaging and bulk product ready for cannabis
infusion for the initial product launch. Products must be
registered and approved by Health Canada before manufacturing
begins, and then the products need to be registered in each
province for online sales and sales through dispensary retail
stores throughout Canada prior to sale.
According to estimates by Deloitte,
Canadian cannabis topicals and edibles (Cannabis 2.0) could be
worth CAD $2.7 billion annually. The global legal marijuana market
size is expected to reach USD $73.6 billion by 2027, according to a
new report published by Grand View Research, Inc.
