MMJ Group Holdings investment Embark Health receives licences to begin extraction of cannabis

() Canadian investment Embark Health Inc has received all occupancy and business licences required from the city of Delta, British Columbia, and is set to begin extraction of cannabis later this month.

This step was foreshadowed by MMJ in February following the receipt of the company’s Health Canada licence necessary to operate the facility.

Facilities in BC and Ontario

Embark Health is seeking to create the largest cannabis (THC and CBD) extraction business in Canada with facilities in British Columbia and Ontario.

The privately held company has entered into several letters of intent to secure 300,000 kilograms of biomass from well-known suppliers as feedstock for the next two years.

Initially, Embark Health intends to produce Bubble Hash, Dry Sift Kief and Rosin for commercial sale in addition to providing tolling services to a wide range of customers.

Other extraction techniques will be added as more rooms in the facility are licensed.
