The acquisition of a fully licensed cannabis facility will expand Chemesis’ capabilities to process over 500,000 kg of cannabis annually within the U.S.
Vancouver, BC – March 7, 2019 – Chemesis International Inc. (CSE: CSI) (OTC: CADMF) (FRA: CWAA) (the “Company” or “Chemesis”), announces it has entered into binding agreements to acquire 100% of a fully-operational extraction and manufacturing facility in Cathedral City, California (“Facility”). Once completed, this transaction (“Acquisition”) will expand the Company’s processing ability to over 500,000 kg of cannabis annually. The new state-of-the-art facility is fully licensed, and the Acquisition is expected to double the Company’s current capacity to process large amounts of cannabis to extract THC, CBD and other cannabinoid and terpene products.
The Facility is located within close proximity to the Company’s existing licensed extraction facility, which commenced operations this quarter. Upon completion, the Acquisition will permit the Company to operate two fully licensed and commercialized facilities, which is expected to streamline resources for the Company’s controlled expansion plan within the U.S.
The Acquisition will result in the Company acquiring control over the following licenses:
Furthermore, the Company is exploring the possibility of processing hemp at the Facility for full spectrum plant extracts rich in CBD and leveraging the hemp legalization provisions of the 2018 U.S. Farm Bill to capitalize on the expected increased demand for CBD. It has been estimated that the CBD market will have a value of over $2.1 billion by 2020[1]. Legislation is currently pending in California that would accommodate incorporating hemp-derived cannabinoids and terpenes into the currently regulated cannabis supply chain (similar to neighboring legal cannabis states like Oregon), as well as non-THC-infused food, beverages and cosmetics.
“The Company will, upon completion of the Acquisition, significantly increase its production and manufacturing capabilities in the U.S.,” said CEO of Chemesis, Edgar Montero. “The addition of this new facility will allow the Company to extract high-quality cannabinoids and terpenes for use in a wide variety of consumer products. Chemesis will then be able to leverage its existing expertise in extraction, distribution, and sales to continue growing revenues and build long-term value. I believe this expansion will open up considerable new revenue opportunities for the Company when we begin processing hemp,” added Montero.
Under the terms of this acquisition, Chemesis will pay $1,000,000 USD 90 days from closing and issue 4,600,000 shares. The stock is subject to 36-month lock-up/leak-out guidelines. The Acquisition is expected to close on or about March 30, 2019.

Chemesis closed the acquisition of Natural Ventures in fiscal Q2 and has been building out its operations on the island to serve increasing customer demand. The Company subsequently announced it will be cultivating and manufacturing CBD products for the Puerto Rican medical cannabis market in the fiscal year.
Edgar Montero, CEO of Chemesis stated, “The Company is moving forward in every aspect of its business plan and we are looking forward to the expansion of our assets. Chemesis recently announced a $4 million annual purchase order, which we believe to be the start of high demand, as consumers and businesses continue to recognize our high-quality cultivation, and manufacturing processes.”
Subsequent to the quarter end, Chemesis closed the acquisition of La Finca Interacviva-Arachna Med on January 9th, 2019. The Company anticipates its first harvest and commencing construction of its GMP certified extraction facility, in the spring of 2019. Furthermore, the acquisition of La Finca brought the company in excess of CDN $2,000,000 in working capital.
Additionally, the Company’s industrial scale extraction facility in California, has obtained all necessary licensing and has proceeded with commercialization. The Company looks forward to scaling up in the coming months to meet increasing demand in the legal California cannabis market.
With the current financing completed of CDN $2,760,000 and up to $10,000,000 in equity facility as of today’s announcement, Chemesis is in a strong cash position to meet its near-term cash commitments to ensure expansion build out and revenue growth. The additional equity facility gives Chemesis access to a total of CDN $34,250,000 in draw down equity facilities between Alumina Partners Inc. and Global Emerging Markets.
