Magna Mining is a nickel exploration and development company focused on the historic nickel producing region of Sudbury, Ontario. The flagship assets are the past producing Shakespeare and Crean Hill Mines, located on the south west side of the Sudbury Basin. The Shakespeare project retains major permits to re-commence production and for the construction of a 4,500 t/d mine, mill and tailings storage facility. The Crean Hill Mine was historically operated by INCO and produced nickel and copper for over 80 years. The company has three growth objectives; 1) To develop and build the Shakespeare mine and mill, 2) To continue to grow the NI-Cu-PGM resources at both Shakespeare and Crean Hill, and 3) To make significant new nickel discoveries at both projects. In the longer term, the development of Shakespeare (which would be only the third processing plant in the Sudbury basin) is expected to facilitate the creation of a hub and spoke production model, and help Magna to achieve their objective of becoming the next new nickel producing company in Canada.

MediPharm Labs was created in 2015 by a handful of industry experts in Ontario. With the medicinal benefits of cannabis firmly established – and with a global patient market demanding quality cannabis oil – MediPharm Labs was born. While initially exploring options to cultivate cannabis plant, MediPharm Labs came to recognize the opportunity for a select focus on cannabis concentrates. MediPharm Labs set out to master this area of production, and rely on the many cultivating experts to provide quality raw materials. In 2016, MediPharm labs submitted an application to Health Canada for approval to distribute medicinal cannabis oil. Proudly, MediPharm Labs was one of the first Licensed Producer applications in history to apply for license that did not include the cultivation of cannabis. The key to MediPharm Labs’ unrivaled quality is our best possible use of modern technology and innovative extraction techniques. MediPharm Labs produces cannabis oil that is pharmaceutical grade and and meets the specific quality and purity requirements. The team behind MediPharm Labs have proven industry experience in the areas of pharmaceutical extraction, processing and quality assurance. In 2018, MediPharm Labs is gearing up to commence distribution to our Health Canada approved business partners and make history. The response has been enormous, positive and heartening. Medicinal cannabis has arrived – and through our partners we will provide patients with access to pure, consistent and safe cannabis oil. MediPharm Labs commenced construction of a world-class extraction facility in Australia in June 2018. MediPharm Labs Australia is a subsidiary of MediPharm Labs Inc. and the companies’ first expansion outside of Canada. MediPharm Labs Australia completed its application process with the federal Office of Drug Control in February 2018 to extract and import medical cannabis products in Australia.
