Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire - April 19, 2022 – Blackhawk Growth Corp. (CSE:BLR); (Frankfurt:0JJ) (the “Company” or “Blackhawk”) is pleased to announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Blum Distributors Ltd. (“Blum”), white label division is now in full-operation and is expanding their facility to provide their own in-house products that are formulated with the highest quality sterile substrates, spawn, and mycelium cultures to empower both commercial and home scale growers in their mycological journey.

Blum recently signed a contract to provide a white label solution for an arm's length company, Applied Myco. The contract guarantees a minimum order of 500 bags per month during its Phase 1 trial and is expected to increase to up to 2,000 bags per month in Phase 2 and 3 over the next 12 months. The guaranteed minimum order will generate approximately $12,500 per month in gross revenue and would increase to approximately $50,000 per month assuming an order of 2,000 bags. Gross margin on the products historically has been approximately 50%. Blum has started to fulfill this order and will update Blackhawk shareholders as the contract progresses.

With Blum’s controlled and sterilized inoculation lab, Applied Myco has entrusted its full lab operations team in regards to the creation and expansion of a 15 strain genetics and live culture library. This, in turn, will empower residential and commercial scale cultivators which is anticipated to create an additional revenue source. 

“Blum is off to a great start” said Frederick Pels, CEO of Blackhawk. “White label production is a significant step and ensures Blum will capture market share rapidly. With production and expansion occurring in tandem, I am confident that Blum will continue to grow and I look forward to updating shareholders as Blum progresses.”

Blum recently signed another sale which is expected to start delivery in April, and will see Blum expand its cultivation through a 14,000 sq ft commercial project which is guaranteed to begin with an order for 5,000 bags per month, which is expected to create gross revenue of approximately $125,000 per month.      When the cultivation centre renovations are completed, the contract provides for production increases of 5,000 per cycle to a maximum size of 50,000 bags per month. If the maximum contract deliveries are reached, the order will generate in excess of $1,000,000 per month in gross revenue for Blum, based on current sales prices.

Blum’s commercial cultivation client has recently received their building permit approvals earlier than anticipated and is now commencing the first phase of an initial 5000 bag order.
