NEW YORK, Dec. 11, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NetworkWire - Icon Exploration Inc., a publicly traded company on the NEX Exchange (TSXV: IEX.H) whose primary objective is to create a well-diversified company that produces long-term returns for its shareholders and investors by focusing on assessing potential acquisition targets in the cannabis industry, today announces it has selected the corporate communications expertise of NetworkNewsWire ("NNW").

Through its acquisition-based growth strategy, Icon intends to become a leading purveyor of medicinal and recreational cannabis, cultivating high-quality strains that meet Health Canada’s most stringent standards. This will enable the Company to build value into its core business and subsidiaries. Icon Exploration recently signed a formal share exchange agreement relating to its proposed acquisition of privately held City View Green (“CVG”), a vertically integrated cannabis company incorporated under the laws of Ontario, Canada. CVG’s application to Health Canada for an Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (“ACMPR”) license is now at the in-depth review stage of the licensing process. CVG is preparing a 40,000-square-foot growing facility near Toronto to produce pharmaceutical-grade cannabis once its ACMPR license is granted. CVG will grow a superior grade cannabis product and produce high-grade extracts through best practices and strict environmental controls and will be fully compliant with EU GMP standards and be primed for world-wide exports and evolve to benefit medicinal and recreational consumers in the cannabis industry.
