Affinor reports progress in cannabis and strawberry projects

Affinor plans to continue the cannabis trials in September 2017, as the license holder's personal use cannabis medical license from Health Canada has now been issued. The license holder applied and has now been granted a personal use medical license with Health Canada under the new ACMPR. Working with the license holder and designated grower, Affinor's immediate goal is to validate the initial cannabis trial while increasing yields and output per square foot through improved crop models for short, high density cannabis plants specific to the needs of the technology. This is an opportunity to trial medical cannabis on the vertical growing tower building market for smaller, highly efficient growing systems for personal medical use, as well as developing the protocol and methods for large scale commercial production. Other initiatives include testing new LED technology configured specifically for the growing equipment with the goal to develop the highest production per square foot with low operating cost.

Affinor is also continuing to negotiate with various commercial cannabis growers throughout North America to help facilitate a larger pilot plant cannabis growth trial.

Beta prototype testing update at University of Fraser Valley
Affinor also announces that the strawberry trials being conducted at the University of Fraser Valley in Surrey is half way through the summer growing season with yields already exceeding last year's harvest. Notably, over 130 pounds of salable strawberries have been recorded on the small 4 level 16 arm beta tower to date, demonstrating the higher density design ability for strawberry production. Affinor expects the trial to continue well into September and provide an update on the final results once complete.



All crop model information, data, procedures and harvest methods continue to be documented to help prove operational and financial assumptions including best practices to standardize commercialization. After September, Affinor's next objectives are to produce strawberries throughout the winter with customized LED supplemental lighting for fruiting crops and diversify the crop trials by growing kale in the tower technology.
