Icon Exploration Inc. Discusses its Cannabis Strategy in Exclusive NetworkNewsWire Audio Interview

NEW YORK, Dec. 12, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NetworkNewsAudio - NetworkNewsAudio (NNA), a NetworkNewsWire (NNW) Solution that delivers clients unparalleled visibility, recognition and brand awareness in the investment community, today announces the online availability of its interview with Icon Exploration Inc. (TSX.V: IEX.H), a client of NNW currently focused on assessing potential acquisition targets in the cannabis industry.

NNW’s Stuart Smith introduces Icon Exploration CEO Rob Fia to an interview that discusses the company’s strategy for vertical integration across the legal cannabis space.

Icon Exploration is completing a reverse takeover of City View Green (“CVG”) to enter into the cannabis space. As Fia explains, CVG is an applicant under the ACMPR with Health Canada seeking both cultivation and extraction licenses and is currently retrofitting a 40,000-square-foot-facility in Ontario.

The company has established a management team that boasts extensive expertise and experience across many sectors and market verticals, including cannabis extraction and product branding and development, including oils, extracts and concentrates. Also on board is a consultant with expertise from the wine and spirits industry with a successful track record in business development, as well as a “master grower” formerly with WeedMD who brings over 50 strains to the table.

Having established a strong leadership team, Fia says the company’s near-term goals are to finalize its exchange listing, raise capital to fund completion of its cultivation facility, and secure cultivation and extraction licenses from Health Canada. Upon obtaining licensure, the company aims to move rather quickly on extraction through a contact that seeks to purchase oils. Additionally, CVG has strong industry contacts seeking strategic partnerships that will allow it to expand in the retail space.

Fia also notes how CVG will stand out from competitors in the market and raise awareness in the investment community.

“If you differentiate yourself from the market, you will attract the attention of investors,” he says.

The company’s vertical integration is critical in a market where the cannabis flower will become a commodity in the future, and Fia expects CVG to distinguish itself by creating various products that appeal to the cannabis consumer. He believes the company is well-positioned to create its own brands or in-license third party brands, bolstered by a strong team, industry contacts, and the ability to adapt as the market changes.

“This is not a market that’s stagnant. It’s in flux,” Fia concludes. “I think that we’ve got a very good, smart team that has grown small companies into very large companies, and I think we’re going to be positioned nicely in the future to be one of the top cannabis companies listed on the TSX.”
