Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - June 3, 2019) - City View Green Holdings Inc. (formerly Icon Exploration Inc.) (the "Company" or "CVG") trading through the facilities of the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE") under the symbol "CVGR" is pleased to announce that Budd Hutt Inc. ("Budd Hutt"), is currently involved in pursuing strategic retail cannabis partnerships in Alberta and across the country, including BC, SK and ON., engaging and building strong financial investment partners to fulfill the funding needs of the organization along the way. With the recent news from Alberta on May 29, 2019 (https://aglc.ca/news/retail-cannabis-licence-moratorium-lifted) we are excited about the next few weeks.

Budd Hutt has identified several targets and shortlisted several opportunities in the Alberta marketplace and will likely be prepared to announce a partnership prior to the end of Q3, 2019 that may include existing retail locations including a potential flagship location in Alberta. The addition of bricks & mortar retail stores will cement the brand and the company in the Canadian recreational cannabis market while preparing for expansion into Ontario and other key markets in the near future.

Craig Belcher, CEO, Budd Hutt, commented:

"The retail assets that we are exploring are key strategic pillars for Budd Hutt and our retail concept and business model. We are pleased with the opportunities we have identified with a number of great organizations that will undoubtedly add value along the way in our due diligence process including value-added advice through an extensive network of advisors and if required the potential for future capital investment. We applaud the AGLC's lifting of the licensing moratorium and are laser focused on acquiring the right retail opportunities in the right locations that will showcase Budd Hutt's outstanding design and concept and provide consumers with a best in class experience in and out of our retail locations. It's an exciting time and an opportunity to create something truly unique."

Ian MacDonald, CEO, CVG, commented:

"This expansion will continue to add value to our current equity position in Budd Hutt and ultimately our shareholders. It also provides a direct route to market for CVG's product. The lifting of the licensing moratorium in Alberta is extremely exciting and further motivates CVG towards completing our buildout of our Brantford facility and obtaining our licensing so we can ensure we supply Budd Hutt with unique products of the highest quality and consistency."
