GT was co-founded by former MedMen president – and current Australis COO - Duke Fu and is led by a strong team of medical professionals and pharmaceutical manufacturing experts. The company operates an 8,000 square foot facility in Nevada and its brands are carried by 52% of Nevada-based dispensaries, with further market penetration expected as production capacity is expanded. GT also has a manufacturing license in Oklahoma and a 25% interest in an extraction and processing license in Missouri.  The Valens Company Inc (TSE:VLNS) (OTCQX:VLNCF) (FRA:7LV) has entered into a custom manufacturing agreement with Experion Biotechnologies Inc, a partner of the company's recently acquired LYF Food Technologies Inc. Experion is a licensed cultivator, processor, and brand builder with a portfolio of premium products, Valens said. Under the agreement, Valens said it will provide end-to-end pre-roll manufacturing and product distribution services to Experion -- Valens’ first custom manufacturing agreement of this nature following the receipt of its Health Canada licence amendment to sell dried cannabis products. In the partnership, Valens and Experion will expand the pre-roll offering for Experion's popular Citizen Stash brand. American Manganese Inc (CVE:AMY) (OTCQB:AMYZF) said it has awarded a C$2.7 million contract to its partner Kemetco to build a 500 kilogram (kg) per day demonstration plant and a 5 tonne/day commercial recycling plant using its ground-breaking technology. The critical materials group has been working with Kemetco since 2016 on advancing the so-called RecycLiCo process, which sees key metals recovered from scrap lithium-ion batteries from electric vehicles (EVs). The technology allows for high extraction of cathode metals, such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, manganese, and aluminum at high purity.

The company, which researches, develops, markets, and distributes natural health products through various brands, said positive changes to the market during the first quarter of 2020 within the cannabis and cannabidiol (CBD) sectors were key factors in the decision not to move ahead with the FCC acquisition.
