DENVER — CryoMass Technologies Inc. (the “Company“) has begun real-time trials of a full-scale, user-ready model of its patented cryogenic system for capturing the high-value elements of hemp and cannabis plants. The device occupies 160 square feet of floor space, stands 11 feet tall and operates with ultra-cold liquid nitrogen.

The goals of the trials are:
- To determine the most efficient throughput rates for different types of gross plant material. Efficient throughput rates allow the equipment to operate continuously, without costly down time.
- To measure the percentage of a plant’s valuable cannabinoids (held in a plant’s trichomes) that are captured by the system at various settings of system controls.
- To measure the system’s consumption of liquid nitrogen.
- To assess the effects on machine parts of direct contact with liquid nitrogen.
- To develop proprietary data capturing systems, to measure and record improved efficiencies, cost savings and end product quality.
Preliminary results indicate:
- Efficient throughput rates are between 400 and 600 kilograms of gross plant material per hour.
- Capture rates (the share of a plant’s cannabinoids that are captured by the system) are between 96% and 97% at the settings tested.
- No failure of machine parts with direct contact with liquid nitrogen has occurred.
Conventional methods of capturing cannabinoids are costly, requiring extensive handling and controlled drying. And they generally entail the loss of one-third or so of a plant’s cannabinoid-bearing trichomes. CryoMass Technologies’ preliminary trial results reinforce management’s opinion that the current device as is offers compelling time, cost and quality advantages to any large-scale cultivator or processor of hemp or cannabis.
Those advantages may apply to processors of other botanicals, since our process eliminates many steps and bottlenecks associated with existing practices.

Caution Regarding Cannabis Operations in the United States
Investors should note that there are significant legal restrictions and regulations that govern the cannabis industry in the United States. Marijuana, as defined in the U.S. Controlled Substances Act, remains a Schedule I drug under the respective act, making it illegal under federal law in the U.S. to, among other things, cultivate, distribute or possess cannabis. Financial transactions involving proceeds generated by, or intended to promote, cannabis-related business activities in the U.S. may form the basis for prosecution under applicable U.S. federal money laundering legislation. Please carefully review the Company’s SEC filings with respect to related risk factors.
