Global Hemp Group and Marijuana Company of America Provide Update on New Brunswick Hemp Project

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 30, 2018) - GLOBAL HEMP GROUP INC. (CSE: GHG) (OTC Pink: GBHPF) (FSE: GHG) ("GHG" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on its 125-acre industrial hemp project in northeast New Brunswick with joint venture partner Marijuana Company of America Inc. (OTC Pink: MCOA) (the "Partners").

Planting of seed on the first 77 acres will be complete by mid-week. The remaining 48 acres will be seeded over the next two weeks, once the farmers receive soil test results for this acreage and are able to determine fertilizer requirements for this year's cultivation.

The Department of Aquaculture Agriculture and Fisheries (DAAF) will also be conducting fertility trials on reserved plots at participating farms. DAAF will contribute the fertilizers to the project as part of these trials. The trials will be conducted at no cost to the project and are a clear indication of the collaborative relationship that has been established with DAAF.

In addition, there is an organic certification trial underway on an additional two-acre plot at the project. It will take three years to complete the organic certification process for this field. As part of the process, the plot will begin a three-year cultivation rotation of hemp, oats and a green manure crop to be defined at a later date. In three years this plot will produce certified organic CBD and organic oats, a crop with an excellent market. 

Project managers are currently evaluating drying equipment that will be required to process the biomass after it is harvested. Drying will prepare the biomass for shipment to processors for extraction of the cannabinoids. Management is in discussions with a number of potential processing partners for this material. A final decision will be made in the coming weeks.
