TORONTO, Nov. 07, 2017 — Quinsam Capital Corp. (CSE:QCA) (“Quinsam” or the “Company”) today released that it has closed an investment in Osoyoos Cannabis Inc. (“Osoyoos”).
Osoyoos Cannabis
Osoyoos is an aboriginal company based in Oliver, B.C. A subsidiary of Osoyoos has applied for a commercial producer’s ACMPR license. The subsidiary corporation expects to be treated as an Aboriginal Applicant and thereby obtain priority status with Health Canada.
The president of Osoyoos is Joseph Linkevic. Mr. Linkevic holds an LL.B. from the University of Victoria and LL.M. and a M.A. from University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona. His background includes several decades in working with First Nations and the federal government. He is a member of the Osoyoos Indian Band in British Columbia, Canada. He is also a member of the Navajo Nation Bar in Arizona and currently works towards helping First Nations and Indian Tribes achieve self-sufficiency through economic development ventures.
Osoyoos has secured a letter of intent to lease 2.6 acres from the Osoyoos Indian Band near Oliver, B.C., and has the ability to obtain additional land in the future.
“We look forward to working with Osoyoos and Mr. Linkevic to help bring this project to fruition,” said Roger Dent, CEO of Quinsam.
Michael Newman, a director of Quinsam, is also a director of Osoyoos.
Osoyoos Investment
The $262,500 investment in Osoyoos includes a 3-year 10% convertible debenture as well as warrants. Quinsam also obtained an arrangement fee payable in shares of Osoyoos. Quinsam expects Osoyoos to seek a stock exchange listing in the coming months.
“While Osoyoos is not as advanced as some other ACMPR applicants, the valuation at which our investment has been made is reflective of that fact. We think that the Osoyoos team together with the relationship with the OIB and the advantages inherent in being an Aboriginal Applicant will allow Osoyoos to be successful,” said Roger Dent.
Lineage Grow Company Ltd. Update
Quinsam would also like to take this opportunity to advise investors that Lineage Grow Company Ltd. (“Lineage”) announced that it has received conditional listing approval to trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange. Quinsam purchased convertible debenture and warrant units issued by Lineage earlier this year.
