About Black Sheep, Oakland, CA

 

Black Sheep is an established cultivator and manufacturer of valued added THC/CBD medicinal products.

Mr. Brian Mas, President of Black Sheep stated: “As we embark on the next phase of the cannabis industry in a “for profit” environment in Oakland, CA, Black Sheep is excited to explore this opportunity with Liberty Leaf as a capital partner.  Black Sheep is well positioned to build out its existing cultivation facility to maximize its flower production.  With the new build-out, we project gross annual revenues of $2 - $2.5 Million. We also see immediate opportunities to scale up our concentrate and edible lines with our recently acquired equipment.  Our new, state of the art extraction and distillate equipment allows us to produce a pure THC and CBD distillate, as well as A grade quality shatters.”

Once our build-out is complete, Black Sheep will be one of the first permitted, high-end, boutique cultivators in the Oakland market.  Its mission is to continue to provide top shelf flowers, extracts & edibles to the market.  Our cultivation methods and quality (testing in the top 5% in Northern California) gives us a competitive advantage over other competing large scale indoor and outdoor cultivators.”

  

The details are to be set out in a letter of intent or definitive agreement upon the Company’s satisfactory due diligence period of up to 90 days to assess product analysis, terms and conditions and any legal issues for distribution of assets in Canada.
