New Colombia Resources Views the U.S. Attorney General's Negative Stance on Medical Marijuana as a Positive for Colombia

BARRANQUILLA, COLOMBIA--(Marketwired - Jun 15, 2017) - New Colombia Resources, Inc. ("the Company") (OTC PINK: NEWC), a Colombian natural resource company listed in the U.S., with premium metallurgical coal and medical marijuana assets, believes Colombia is poised to become a world supplier of high quality medical marijuana and industrial hemp products. In Colombia, a law legalizing medical marijuana was passed in May 2016, but the regulations for possession of seeds, cultivation, transformation, and exportation have not been ratified. A Resolution regulating medical marijuana is expected at any time in accordance to Article 18 of Law 1787 of 2016 and Decree 613 of 2017.

New Colombia believes recent efforts from the U.S. Attorney General to prosecute medical marijuana producers in states where legal is a big setback to the burgeoning medical marijuana industry in the U.S. The U.S. is Colombia's biggest trade partner in dozens of industries, so naturally medical marijuana and industrial hemp should be no exception. A year round grow cycle in the ideal climate with world renowned medicinal strains, will make Colombia the ideal supplier to the U.S. "As the U.S. medical marijuana industry and their investors ponder the AG's next move, Colombia's medical marijuana industry will flourish," commented John Campo, President of New Colombia Resources, Inc.
