As well, shares of MediPharm Labs Corp. (TSX:LABS) fell 14% to $1.46 as the cannabis extraction company said its first-quarter 2020 revenue fell 49% from the same quarter a year ago, due to a “reduction in the average selling price of bulk extracts and reduced volumes sold because of a continued muted demand in the Canadian bulk wholesale market.”

Manganese X Energy Corp. (TSXV:MN), meanwhile, reported that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Disruptive Battery Corp., has signed a Partnership Agreement for continental African distribution of an air disinfectant system with Ecor Cleaning (Pty) Limited of South Africa. Manganese X Energy stock moved up 15% to $0.115 following the announcement.
