CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Aug 14, 2014) - Maple Leaf Green World Inc. (TSX VENTURE:MGW) ("Maple Leaf" or the "Company") announces that subject to final approval from the TSX Venture Exchange, the proposed private placement of units that was previously announced on June 13, 2014 has now closed. The Corporation received subscriptions for 3,650,000 Units at a subscription price of $0.10per Unit, for total gross proceeds of $365,000. As previously announced, each Unit consists of one common share and one common share purchase warrant exercisable for two years from the date of closing at a price of $0.15.

In connection with the private placement Maple Leaf will pay finder's fees in the amount of $15,750 to two arm length parties. The common shares and warrants to be issued pursuant to the private placement are subject to a four month hold period from the closing date.

Maple Leaf intends to use the proceeds from the private placement to pursue its medical marijuana business and for general working capital.

Maple Leaf has also signed up an agency agreement with Asia Gold Ltd. (AGL), an investor of $200,000 in the recent private placement. This agency agreement will allow AGL to assist Maple Leaf, on a best effort basis when determined by Maple Leaf, to raise up to Cdn$5 million outside North America for the Company to pursue its medical marijuana business. This agreement is for the period of 1 year from September 1, 2014.

AGL is a capital holding company registered in New Zealand with offices in Hong Kong and Macau and has invested in various different sectors of industries around the world, with assets holding over US$ 25 million. AGL's website is www.aglglobal.net.

"We are excited to ally with one of the reputable and solid capital companies in Asia to assist us to raise the funding required for pursuing the medical marijuana business.
