Supreme Pharmaceuticals Inc.: South Okanagan MMPR Application Update

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Jun 18, 2014) - Supreme Pharmaceuticals Inc. ("Supreme" or the "Company") (OTCBB:SPRWF)(CSE:SL) is pleased to report that the target company (or the "Vendor") at Facility 1 has received and replied to the Department of Health Canada on its Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations Licence (MMPR) application, who required additional information on:

  • External and internal security measures
  • Updated site survey and aerial photographs
  • Further information on principal and proposed technical employees
  • Details on record keeping and information handling procedures

The Vendor has engaged external consultants and specialists to assist in the application process who have been able to respond and provide the requested documentation in a timely manner. While the Vendor is confident that their prior experience and expertise in the industry and the high commercial standards of the production facility will enable full compliance with Department of Health requirements for a full commercial MMPR license, there is no guarantee a MMPR license will be granted.

Last week management of Supreme and its operating subsidiary met with government officials, including the fire chief, local politicians, and community stakeholders in the township where its Southern Ontario green house facility (Facility 2) is located. The Company does not foresee any concerns in this area as construction progresses such that it may eventually receive final receipt of the MMPR license.

Management of Supreme stated: "We are pleased to be making headway on both projects, being the South Okanagan and Southern Ontario facilities. The Company is moving forward and will continue to update shareholders on continued progress."
