SpeakEasy Cannabis Club Ltd. (CSE: EASY) (Frankfurt: 39H) (the “Company” or “SpeakEasy“), a holder of a federal licence to cultivate, process and sell cannabis under the Cannabis Act, would like to take this opportunity to inform its valued shareholders of the progress made to date with its outdoor operations.
Since receiving the amendment to its license to include the outdoor area in early April, SpeakEasy has been hard at work making preparations for the 2020 grow season. To date, SpeakEasy has created over 90,000 clones and is thrilled to report that the outdoor planting has begun. Founder, Marc Geen states, “This has been a dream come true, many years in the making. A lifetime of farming has taught me that very few things go exactly according to plan and this year is no exception. We find ourselves ahead of schedule at this point, not something I’m accustomed to. Huge credit is due to our amazing crew of hard-working men and women whose enthusiasm, devotion and commitment has brought us to where we are today.”
Crop Update
Although we have received more rain this spring than normal, temperatures have been above average, the plants have responded very well to the transition from indoor to outdoor life and are growing vigorously. With the ideal climate in Rock Creek for outdoor cannabis cultivation, combined with our genetics which are perfectly suited to this area, we expect a bumper crop this season. Crews are working 7 days a week and planting is expected to continue through most of June.
Production
Our internal projections remain at approximately 70,000 kilograms total harvest, 22,000 kilograms of flower and 48,000 kilograms of biomass. Upon receipt of appropriate amendments to its current licence, the Company intends to sell flower as a finished smokable product, made into pre-rolls and used in extractions for concentrates. Bulk biomass will be extracted on site and made into distillate for bulk sale and in-house value-added products.
Sales
With sales in the legal Canadian cannabis market steadily increasing due to many factors, SpeakEasy finds itself in just the right place at just the right time. SpeakEasy’s low cost of production makes it competitive, not only within the Canadian legal market, but compared with unregulated market as well. Recent announcements from the BC provincial government suggest movement towards a farm gate model that would allow sales directly from LP’s to the public and the ability to have dispensaries on production sites. CEO, Bin Huang states, “The Company has had the customers wants and needs in mind from the very beginning, and although it seems like a basic concept, it’s a concept that has been missing in this industry. SpeakEasy has been designed from the ground up to be able to provide our customers the products they want at a price they can afford.”
Conclusion
We have all been challenged this year with Covid-19 at the very least making everything more difficult and we, at SpeakEasy, feel very fortunate we have made it through this situation so far with no cases affecting our crew and no significant effect on our operation. Protocols have been implemented to protect our team and ensure work continues on schedule and we are happy to report that everything is moving along well. Founder, Marc Geen states, “The stage is set for SpeakEasy to enter the market this fall in a big way and it’s time for us to show what we can do. Our indoor harvests have been 25% higher than internal projections and of excellent quality. We expect similar results from our outdoor harvest this fall. The pressure is on us and we welcome the challenge.”
