TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Dec 24, 2015) - Mettrum Health Corp. ("Mettrum" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:MT), a fully integrated provider of premium cannabis products, is pleased to announced that, effective December 23, 2015, the Company has been granted a license to sell cannabis extracts. As announced on August 31, 2015, Mettrum was initially granted a supplemental license for the production of cannabis extracts. Mettrum is the second company in the industry to have been awarded a license for the production and sale of cannabis extracts.

"Securing this license is a continuation of our strategy of providing cannabis products, in a variety of formats. Our clients will be able to rely upon a selection of cannabis oils representing each band of the Mettrum Spectrum including our CBD strains. Cannabis extracts provide a level of standardization that cannot be achieved in the flower form, and in some cases, it is a more convenient consumption method," said Michael Haines, Chief Executive Officer of Mettrum. "We are very excited about this new phase for the industry and we look forward to continuing our role as a market leader, and provider, of high quality, cannabis products."

Mettrum anticipates announcing its updated product portfolio in early January, based on the addition of cannabis extracts, and commence sales of its full product line shortly thereafter.
