Auralite Investments Inc. (TSX Venture-AAAA) (the "Company" or
"Auralite"), is pleased to announce its completion of a
C$150,000.00 strategic investment into British Columbia based craft
mushroom distributor and product formulator, Champignon Brands Inc.
(“Champignon”).
Champignon is a private research driven company
specializing in the formulation and end distribution of a suite of
premium artisanal mushroom health supplements, with the objective
of promoting holistic health and wellness. Champignon is equipped
with proprietary formulations for three flagship mushroom
extract-infused tea blends and is in the process of conducting
extensive taste and product quality tests. Further information is

In connection with the Company’s strategic
investment into Champignon, Auralite has amended its investment
policy to include the health and wellness sector and has formally
assembled a dedicated health and wellness investment committee to
explore complementary investments within this burgeoning industry.
Auralite is of the belief that the health and wellness sector
provides significant opportunities and the Company looks forward to
evaluating potential investments.
Robert Meister, Chief Executive Officer and a
director of Auralite stated: “The global mushroom market accounted
for US$38.13 billion in 2017 and is forecasted to expand at a CAGR
of 7.9 per cent from 2018 to 20261. This growth will be further
bolstered by the increasing demand for meat substitutes, as well as
shifting consumer preference towards plant-based foods. Leveraging
its newly formed health and wellness committee, Auralite will look
to actively pursue alpha generating investments within this
flourishing sector.”
