The Company previously owned approximately 10.6% of Noble through a previous investment, and the Transaction sees the Company acquire the remaining 89.4%. In consideration for the completion of the acquistion of this remaining remaining interest, the Company has issued 48,448,590 common shares to the shareholders of Noble at a deemed price of $0.025 per share.

Noble’s trailing unaudited revenue for the twelve-months prior to the completion of the transaction was approximately C$375,000, with gross margin of approximately C$250,000.  Recent months have seen a dramatic increase in revenue due to new marketing campaigns in the US. The Company cautions that figures for revenue and margin generated by Noble have not been audited, and are based on calculations prepared by management.  Actual results may differ from those reported in this release once these figures have been audited.

Founded in 2017 with a direct interest in the CBD/Hemp industry in the United States, Noble’s key objective is to promote and sell products in the health and wellness sector.  Noble has developed an online store www.noblehemp.com with an array of CBD/Hemp consumable and topical products. Manufacturing and fullfillment operations are based out of Colorado and California. Noble currently sells products in all 50 US states. All current products are made certified organic, are gluten-free and contain no GMOs.

CBD is one of the more than 113 cannabinoids so far identified in marijuana and hemp. Unlike the better-known compound tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), CBD is not psychoactive, meaning it won’t cause a high. Studies have shown that CBD possesses an array of therapeutic benefits, including antioxidant and neuroprotective properties. Customers take CBD products for a variety of reasons including but not limited to epilepsy, anxiety, insomnia, inflammation, skin care and pain management. Many products are made from agricultural hemp, such as hemp protein and hemp seeds, whih are legally produced and shipped to all 50 states. This also includes a thriving hemp-based CBD industry, including hemp-based CBD oil used in skin care.

Noble now forms part of the Company’s existing portfolio of investments in the cannabis sector. Noble’s existing management will continue to retain responsibility for overseeing day-to-day operations.

Revenues for Noble have increased significantly over the last three months with increased marketing efforts so I’m excited to see how quickly we can help grow this company over the coming twelve months. This is a tremendous opportunity for us and I look forward to increasing our footprint and gaining more traction in the health and wellness space. In regards to the share consolidation, I think it is a much needed act in order to better position Blackhawk for the future.  The consolidation will put us in a much better position to attract more capital as we continue to grow and our portfolio companies continue to expand. We have a very exciting plan over the next year and we feel this is the best possible move to generate substantial value for our shareholers from these levels.”
