"I am very pleased with our progress and financial performance during the fourth quarter, and particularly excited with Mettrum Creemore being awarded its Health Canada license.

"Our objective from the early days was to be the industry leader. With our operational and financial performance to date, coupled with our level of confidence in the near, mid and long term, I am optimistic with our prospects as we report our progress during the course of what is shaping to be a great start to our new fiscal year."

Mettrum is pleased that the license at its Mettrum Creemore facility has been renewed effective June 11, 2015.

Mettrum completed its acquisition of Oilseed Works Inc. ("OWI") currently operating as Hempola on April 30, 2015.
