Maple Leaf Signs a LOI with a New Medical Marijuana Collective in California

CALGARY, ALBERTA -- (Marketwired) -- 10/28/14 -- Maple Leaf Green World (TSX VENTURE: MGW) ("Maple Leaf" or the "Company") announces the Company has signed a Letter of Intent ("LOI") to form a Joint Venture Agreement with a new Collective Entity ("Collective") to provide growing facilities in California and consulting service for the Collective.

The Collective is a non-profit medical cannabis collective operated for and by qualified patients, with about 250 membership patients. The Collective has the obligation to supply its membership with quality marijuana for a discounted price. Under the Californian Cannabis regulation, the Collective is allowed to grow 6 plants for each of its member. The Collective estimates each plant will produce about 2 to 3 lbs on each harvest of about 3 months growing time. The current market price in California for greenhouse grown medical marijuana is about US$2,000 per lb, discount for non-profit collectives is usually between 20 to 30% depending on the quality.

Under the LOI, Maple Leaf will build a growing facility ("Facility") of 6 cold frames (unheated greenhouses) in Southern California with the capacity to house about 400 marijuana plants in 2 phases. 1st phase to be started in the beginning of 2015 for 3 cold frames with the capacity to house about 200 plants and 2nd phase for another 3 cold frame with the capacity to house another 200 plants to be started in 2016. However, the actual amount of medical cannabis sought to be cultivated by the Collective shall be reasonably related to the current medical needs of the Collective's members. The Facility will be leased to the Collective after completion of 1st phase but it will remain under the ownership of Maple Leaf. Maple Leaf will be responsible for the financing of about US$500,000 to construct the Facility. Following operational readiness of the Facility, the Company will also provide guidance and consulting service to the Collective for the growing operation. In return, the Collective agrees to pay the Company a rental fee for the Facility based on number of cold frames built and a consulting fee. Both rental and consulting fee amounts will be determined after Maple Leaf completes the budget for the Facility. The term of the Joint Venture agreement will be for ten (10) years with Maple Leaf having the option to renew for another ten years. If the demand increases due to the increment of membership of the Collective, Maple Leaf agrees to expand the Facility or build another Facility upon Collective's request.

The Collective will be responsible for the daily operation of the Facility including supplying quality medical marijuana to its members, collecting payment from its member and paying Maple Leaf the lease rental and consulting fees on a quarterly basis. The Collective will provide full cooperation to Maple Leaf's guidance and consulting advice. The Collective will also use its best effort to attract and recruit more members with a target of 1,000 members by June 2016.

Under the LOI, both parties agree to deal exclusively with each other to negotiate and finalize the terms of a Joint Venture for the Facility for a period of 120 days.

In order to facilitate the forming of this Joint Venture, Maple Leaf is forming a 100% owned subsidiary in California.

"We are excited to have this opportunity to serve this new collective with our expertise in the greenhouse and Cannibis growing technology. It will definitely mark as a milestone for our first step into the U.S. medical marijuana industry." said Maple Leaf Green World President and CEO Raymond Lai.
