Significant role out of revenue store opening in England !
"MPXI" or the "Company") (CSE:MPXI; OTC PINK:MPXOF) announces that its UK premium CBD retail experience launched earlier today with the opening of the inaugural "beleaf" store in the Soho district of Central London.
Focused on providing quality, organic and ethically-sourced products in an upscale retail setting, beleaf offers a broad range of premium brand extracts, cosmetics, vapes and edibles with initially more than 100 product lines available for sale. An emphasis on providing education will help counsel CBD curious consumers; physical in-store displays, digital kiosks and online resources will be complemented by on-site cannabis specialists available to address queries and help guide purchasing decisions. The location also features a ‘blends bar' and lounge where customers can sample various CBD-infused products.
"This first beleaf store is an escalation of our mission to be trailblazers of CBD access in the UK, European Union and globally. Our dedication to providing quality products and building brand equity through this venue will enable us to capture meaningful market share in a nascent market on the verge of massive growth," said W. Scott Boyes, Chairman, President and CEO of MPXI. "We are creating a first-mover advantage that positions MPXI for success as a global player in the medical and adult-use cannabis markets by creating a retail "go-to" brand in beleaf. With a population of more than 66 million and another 36 million tourists visiting annually, the UK is the perfect place to launch this exciting venture."
MPXI is working in partnership with the renowned retail developer, iD agency, known for bringing consumers retail experiences for brands such as Nespresso, Pepsi and L'Oreal. With extensive experience creating and managing unique, effective and immersive retail environments, iD agency will manage the beleaf store and promotional events.
"We saw a lot of confusion and misinformation in the CBD space, with very little product quality control, and so our mission from the start was to educate and build consumer confidence as a leading authority on CBD in Europe," said Daniel Fryer, Director of European Development at MPXI. "As a result of our international reach, we have encountered some exceptional brands across the globe that we are excited to offer our UK customers. Following the launch of our London shop, we have plans to open additional outlets and shop-in-shops across Europe next year."
Research from the Centre for Medicinal Cannabis estimates that the UK CBD market reached £300 million this year and could grow to £1 billion by 2025 - a value larger than the markets for Vitamin C and Vitamin D combined. CBD is currently available in 27 other European countries.

So you made an assumption that iAnthus will make an announcement regarding MPX on the 20th.
What relationship do they have now? They are separate entities.
You realize iAnthus is pursuing CBD opportunities in Europe which do NOT include MPX.
What concrete info do you have? Or only fables?
I am a believer in both companies, but I am not going to come here and make stuff up.
I am one of the share holders that got MPX shares from the ianthus spinoff there is a relationship between the two.
What does the iAnthus PR have to do with MPX?
What does iAnthus have to do with MPX's operations???

Significant addition to management
"MPXI" or the "Company") (CSE:MPXI)(OTC:MPXOF) has announced the appointment of former Director of Reynolds-American Inc. Jean-Marc Lévy to its Advisory Board. Reynold-American was the 2nd largest tobacco company before being acquired by British American Tobacco (BAT) in 2017.
Mr. Lévy also served on the Management Board of BAT PLC where he directed its marketing and sales functions as Group Chief Marketing Officer from 2009 until 2014. A multilingual business leader with a successful track record of consumer-centric strategy, brand-building and operational delivery, Jean-Marc will help develop and lead strategic business development opportunities for MPXI. Mr. Lévy is also an Executive-in-Residence at the IMD School of Business in Lausanne, Switzerland.

Scott Boyes, Chairman, President and CEO of MPXI. "We anticipate that Jean-Marc's significant relevant business development experience and expertise will prove invaluable as we work to execute on our global growth strategy."
"The medical cannabis industry is ripe with opportunity and I am excited to align myself with MPXI to help lead and drive strategic business development opportunities," said Jean-Marc Levy. "The company's previous strong track record of success in the US, highly experienced management team and the significant progress they've made since the beginning of this year were just a few of the aspects that drew me to work with this globally-oriented growth story."
Additionally, MPXI has announced the appointment of Karl Bartolo as General Manager of its operations in Malta, where the company recently acquired a GMP-ready facility that will become the hub of its European medical cannabis production capacity. With significant experience leading and managing strategic and operational performance, Mr. Bartolo will oversee the refurbishment of the facility and help facilitate the GMP certification process.

"Mr. Bartolo's familiarity with EU-GMP and his regional regulatory expertise in Malta is expected to help expedite the completion of our site refurbishment and the licensing process there," continued Mr. Boyes. "These are exciting times for MPXI and these additions to our team make us even stronger as we work towards our revenue and profitability goals in Europe."
Nice news for a change "(CSE:MPXI; OTC PINK:MPXOF) today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Canveda Inc. (“Canveda”) has achieved Gold Status in its bQb-cert Good Manufacturing Practice (“GMP”) and Quality System Compliance Audit at its 12,000 square foot facility located in Peterborough, Ontario, where it produces high quality cannabis flower. Achieving GMP certification demonstrates MPXI’s commitment to quality and safety in cannabis manufacturing and is an important milestone in the Company’s international growth strategy.
MPXI is strategically positioned to pursue opportunities in the emerging global cannabis marketplace and plans to use its cannabis assets in Canada as a base to export to targeted international markets. Securing bQb-cert GMP certification at its Ontario production facility ensures that MPXI’s products are consistently produced and controlled according to Canada’s highest regulatory standards, enabling the Company to start exporting its products to Australia and other markets. The Company is also working toward EU GMP certification, to facilitate the export of its products to the European Union.
“With a score of 97.7%, achieving this certification proves we have best in class production standards, software and record keeping. As the international markets continue their march towards legalization of cannabis, GMP certification in Canada is more important than ever as it will allow us to immediately use our Canveda facility as a portal to export our products internationally,” said W. Scott Boyes, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of MPXI. “As part of our international strategy, we are also working toward authorization to export to the European Union, which has the strictest cannabis GMP standards in the world, while also developing our international assets in Switzerland, Malta and elsewhere. Furthermore, on a national scale, GMP status also provides our Canadian medical cannabis patients with strong quality control assurance, further setting Canveda and its products apart.”
Canveda continues to develop different strain varieties and recently received its final sales licence enabling it to sell fresh and dried cannabis directly to medical patients, provincial and territorial cannabis boards and other licensees holding a licence to sell for medical purposes.

A significant move by management opens up EU as potential major source of revenue
" (CSE:MPXI) (OTC Pink:MPXOF) is pleased to announce that MPXI Malta Property Ltd. (“MPXI Malta”), a Maltese-company owned by MPX International (80%) and Malta-based Bortex Group (“Bortex”) (20%) has completed the acquisition of all the outstanding shares of Alphafarma Operations Ltd. (“Alphafarma”) from Alpha Farma Limited (the “Vendor”).
The Vendor, which is in the business of acquiring, repackaging and distributing pharmaceutical products throughout the European Union and North Africa, has transferred the lease for the “GMP-ready” facility located in Mehriel, just outside of Valletta, the capital city of Malta, as well as the GMP certification to Alphafarma, the newly created subsidiary of the Vendor, in exchange for the payment of €1.5 million (approximately CDN$2,260,800) in cash and the issuance of 1,000,000 common shares (“MPXI Shares”) and 300,000 common share purchase warrants to acquire additional MPXI Shares at an exercise price of $0.63 per MPXI Share for a period of five (5) years.
MPXI Malta has been awarded a letter of intent from Malta Enterprise, the economic development agency for the Republic of Malta, to receive a license to import, extract, produce finished products and distribute cannabis and cannabis derivatives (the “Malta License”) for medicinal use in Malta and export to certain international markets, in particular the European Union.
The Malta License will be issued by the Malta Medicines Authority upon completion and EU-GMP certification of a cannabis processing facility. Upon receipt of the formal Malta License, MPXI will produce EU-GMP quality cannabis oils and cannabis derivative products and pursue regulated medical cannabis distribution opportunities in the European Union through Salus BioPharma.
Select employees from the current tenant of the facility, several of which are experienced and certified in the various quality control and quality assurance standards required for EU-GMP production will remain with MPXI. The availability of such qualified personnel will also shorten and facilitate the GMP certification process and allow MPXI to more quickly secure final license approval and commence operations.
The Company is expected to invest approximately €3.0 million (approximately CDN$4,521,600) for refurbishing the facility, extraction, processing and packaging equipment and working capital.
The Company issued to Green Goblin Ventures Limited (“Green Goblin”) 555,375 MPXI Shares as consideration for the preparation of the application for the License and 142,484 MPXI Shares as consideration for identifying and facilitating the acquisition of Alphafarma.
As part of the partnership agreement whereby Bortex will provide oversight of and support to MPXI’s Maltese operations and as consideration for assistance with setting up the local manufacturing facility in the newly acquired Alphafarma site, the Company issued to Bortex 836,375 MPXI Shares. Bortex, a well-established Maltese conglomerate involved in manufacturing, distribution, retail operations and property development, will provide local support and oversight of the Company’s Malta operations.
Significant milestone for the company
" (“MPX International”, “MPXI” or the “Company”) (CSE:MPXI; OTC:MPXOF) is pleased to announce that Canveda Inc. (“Canveda”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of MPXI, has received approval from Health Canada to sell Cannabis, effective as of July 26, 2019, in accordance with Sections 11(5), 17(5) and 27 of the Cannabis Regulations pursuant to an application to amend the conditions of its previously obtained licence for standard cultivation to allow for the sale of fresh and dried cannabis products.
In addition to sales to other Licenced Producers, the amended licence authorizes the sale of fresh and dried cannabis:
directly to medical patients;
all of the provincial and territorial cannabis boards; and
holders of a licence for sale.
“The ability to sell into both the recreational and medical cannabis markets in Canada as a result of this amendment represents a significant milestone for Canveda and opens the door to significant growth opportunities that we are ready to capitalize on,” said W. Scott Boyes, Chairman, President and CEO of MPX International. “On the recreational side, we will be able to apply to provincial boards to provide fresh and dried cannabis directly into a high demand market that has been limited by supply constraints. On the medical side, we have a comprehensive growth strategy with all of the required elements in place so that we may begin to immediately execute on our plan to drive patient acquisition, revenue growth and shareholder value.”
The Medical Cannabis Learning Network (the “Medical CLN”) is expected to play a key role in the Company’s sales growth. This turnkey video learning and engagement platform can be accessed by patients via a secure online portal or at in-store kiosks found in medical clinics, pharmacies and the offices of natural health practitioners. Patients wanting to learn about various aspects of medical cannabis, including how products work and which formulations are most appropriate for them, are able to access fact-based information in a safe and compliant manner via the Medical CLN. They are also able to fulfill prescriptions for products from Licenced Producers, including Canveda.
In addition, the Medical CLN will assist Spartan Wellness Corporation (“Spartan”), which provides support services to veterans, with the conversion of its patients to Canveda, enabling better patient adherence and improved patient outcomes. Spartan is a wholly-owned subsidiary of MPXI.
The Canveda facility, located near Peterborough, Ontario, is a fully-licenced 12,000 square foot facility with annual production capacity of 1,200 kilograms.
“We are fully ready to roll out our Medical CLN. Providing people with fact-based information directly personal to them is a unique mechanism that supports patients, facilitates knowledge transfer, and helps drive patient acquisition. With marketing regulations limiting the ways in which to build brand awareness, we believe the Medical CLN is an excellent conduit to capture the attention of new potential medical cannabis patients,” said Michael Arnkvarn, Chief Operating Officer, MPXI Canada. “Furthermore, the CLN will enable us to more fully serve our already strong patient base through Spartan Wellness, which is dedicated to serving the medical needs of Canadian veterans and first responders.”

Since when? I have not seen an insider buy? Are you sure Scott bought a million shares?
OK..just realized it's the US/Canada exchange rate. Dah
Smoothsailor..maybe you know. I was awarded some mpxi shares in my Schwab account after the merger. Schwab uses the symbol mpxof instead of mpxi. Also the pps is not matching up. (.51 vrs .68 currently) Would you happen to have an explanation for these discrepancies? Thanks to you or anyone who might have an explanation.
Talked to Scott and he told me he put plowed another 1 mil into MPXI. I am considering opening an account with Haywood in Canada to have more access to Canadian and international stocks. Schwab makes it difficult to do so and we should be making noise on these international desks to bring them in line.
Schwab International Desk reports shares tradeable by Wed 20th at the latest. Only able to sell through them at this point. News anyone?
Halfway there already
