VANCOUVER, May 31, 2017 /CNW/ - INVICTUS MD STRATEGIES CORP. ("Invictus MD" or the "Company") (TSXV: IMH; OTC: IVITF; FRA: 8IS) Canada's Cannabis Company, is pleased to provide a corporate update on the back of its recently closed bought deal financing, and reprises its vision to expand and solidify its cultivation portfolio.

"Following our successful financing with Canaccord Genuity Corp., Eventus Capital Corp., Echelon Wealth Partners Inc., GMP Securities L.P. and PI Financial Corp., including the over-allotment option, for aggregate gross proceeds of $25,008,750, Invictus MD is well capitalized and prepared for an exciting year of growth," said Dan Kriznic, Executive Chairman, Invictus MD. "Led by one of the industry's most experienced teams, we are strongly focused on building our shareholder value. With 250 acres of cultivation space that stretches from Alberta to Ontario, allowing for purpose built production facilities rather than retrofitting existing buildings, we now have the largest land package in Canada for building cultivation facilities as demand increases and we will continue the disciplined but agile execution of our business strategy," added Kriznic.

"When its management team visited TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV) on May 5, 2017 and opened the trading day, we shared that celebration with all those who have contributed to our success - especially our team, the board, advisers and investors," said Kriznic. "From our early beginnings three years ago, we had a clear goal and the desire to do something remarkable within this budding marketplace. We have always taken pride in knowing we're working towards becoming a source of uncompromising quality of medical cannabis and to be ready for the future new recreational market upon legalization."

In early May, AB Ventures Inc. ("AB Ventures"), an incorporated company formed to develop a second licensed expansion facility through its common ownership with AB Laboratories Inc. ("AB Labs") a Licensed Producer under the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations ("ACMPR") which maintains a 16,000 square foot facility located near Hamilton, Ontario, closed its 100-acre land acquisition and once licensed under the ACMPR, will be used for future cannabis cultivation. To facilitate the construction of the initial 42,000 square foot cultivation facilities, with plans to construct additional production facilities on the new land totaling 100,000 square feet, Mr. Michael Alezane has been appointed construction manager. Considering the magnitude of AB Ventures' land holdings and future production facilities, and assuming AB Ventures obtains a license to produce the quantity forecasted for the proposed facility, we will have the capacity for significant growth to keep pace with the growing medical and future recreational demand.

AB Labs, which has achieved full production capacity, recently conducted its first harvest with very favorable results and will shortly apply for its pre-sales inspection.

"The Company is focused on achieving increased production profile growth in the near future. Cultivation began earlier in the month at Acreage Pharms Ltd. (Acreage Pharms), a Licensed Producer under the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations ("ACMPR")," stated Trevor Dixon, President and CEO of Invictus MD. "Planning has begun for the Phase 2 build out; Acreage Pharms has an existing 6,800 square foot production facility with an expansion plan floor plate of 27,400 square feet, that sits on 150 acres of land in West Central Alberta. To facilitate the construction of Phase 2, Mr. Harmen Bangma has been appointed construction manager." Alberta has low cost of production as a result of low energy and water costs and provides the capability to construct facilities to meet the demand that the coming adult recreational marijuana use will create. Acreage Pharms also has plans to produce extracted or oil based products oils are rapidly gaining market share in the marijuana sector.

Invictus MD's wholly owned venture into consumer cannabis devices; Poda Technologies Ltd. ("Poda"), is set imminently for a spin out.
