Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 11, 2019) - Body and Mind Inc. (CSE: BAMM) (OTC Pink: BMMJ) (the "Company" or "BaM"), a multi-state operator in Nevada, Ohio and Arkansas is pleased to announce manufacturing expansion into California through BaM's California subsidiary, NMG Cathedral City, LLC ("NMG").

NMG has entered a management and administrative services agreement (the "Management Agreement") with Satellites Dip, LLC, ("SD"), a licensed cannabis business conducting commercial cannabis activity within the state of California.

The facility was custom designed for large volume cannabis manufacturing and has been producing wholesale concentrates since construction completion in 2017.

"This is a tremendous milestone for Body and Mind as we expand our marquis lifestyle brands into the key California market. The opportunity to move into a fully licensed facility and leverage our expertise and award-winning formulations will rapidly create revenue without significant construction capital expense or license delay," stated Robert Hasman, President of Nevada Medical Group and a director of BaM. "This expansion will dramatically increase the output and efficiency of our popular brands. We have considered numerous opportunities in California and the team at Satellites Dip are aligned with our culture of quality and are excited to expand operations and revenues. NMG has ordered additional top-quality extraction equipment and is working with software vendors for efficiency solutions."

Azadeh Dast, President of Satellites Dip LLC commented, "We are in a highly regulated, competitive and fast changing industry. Companies with deep understanding of the cannabis industry focus on product consistency, quality of services and agility, and are there to stay. That is why we chose Body and Mind to manage our business operations and take us to the next level."

The Cathedral City facility contains state of the art distillation equipment including ethanol and BHO processes and is expected to provide Body and Mind speed to market for popular products including oils, shatter, wax, live badder and ambrosia. Additionally, the facility is anticipated to commence producing Body and Mind edibles including Pretzel Bites and Gummies

The Cathedral City manufacturing facility is licensed by the state of California and has received renewal on all annual licenses.
