TORONTO, June 08, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Blueberries Medical Corp. (CSE: BBM) (OTC: BBRRF) (FRA: 1OA) (the “Company” or “Blueberries“), a Latin American licensed producer of medicinal cannabis and cannabis-derived products, is pleased to announce  that its wholly-owned subsidiary Blueberries SAS entered into a collaboration agreement (the “Partnership“) with Medicanmentos de Cannabis SAS (“medcann”), to develop, and produce Tetrahydrocannabinol (“THC”) cannabis extracts for the international market.

Blueberries will develop a Research and Development (“R&D”) project with medcann to produce commercial THC dominant extracts. The Company will utilize its extraction capabilities to process the THC dominant cannabis flower cultivated by medcann. In 2018, medcann became the first and only company to obtain the registration of psychoactive varieties of cannabis in Colombia.

Both companies will work together in the manufacturing and commercialization, taking advantage of market dynamics and the commercial THC quotas to be assigned to Blueberries.

In Q1, 2020, Blueberries commissioned its first extraction line at its 2,800 m2 (30,138 sf) state-of-the-art extraction facility located in a modern and secure industrial park 30 minutes outside of Bogota. The first extraction line is fully operational, and the newly commissioned equipment has sufficient capacity to process biomass from Blueberries’ own cultivation operations, its contract growers, and other associated licensed producers such as medcann.

The facility uses supercritical CO2 extraction technology to produce the highest quality cannabis oil and has been designed with the flexibility to also employ ethanol extraction technologies to match market demand. The current extraction capacity exceeds the 70,000kg/year of dried flower with the ability to accommodate significant future expansion with additional extraction lines. The Blueberries team is heavily focused on establishing a best-in-class extraction operation with the goal of becoming a leading extraction center in Latin America and an international supplier of medicinal-grade cannabis oil extracts, active pharmaceutical ingredients (“API”s) and related products.

The installed Vitalis extraction line is the first equipment of its kind in Colombia having stainless-steel compressor and extraction vessels, built to stringent European Union – Good Manufacturing Practices (“EU-GMP”) standards. The Company’s facility is designed to comply with EU-GMP standards to ensure standardization and consistency of production. Blueberries is currently implementing full EU-GMP standards at its extraction facility and expects to commence the certification process shortly which would permit additional export potential to international markets.

“We’re excited to partner with medcann. Our team knows that the best results are delivered when great people come together to collaborate with a common vision. This is precisely the environment we have with the team at medcann,” said Camilo Villalba, Chief Executive Officer of Blueberries. “We are just starting. As we continue to develop and introduce unique THC extracts based on proprietary genetics from medcann in the coming months, we will have fully leveraged this opportunity to establish a leading position in the cannabis extracts markets.”

medcann has established its outdoor agricultural operations in the flattest area of Colombia, the Eastern plains that account for more than 1/3 of the country, a 100% natural and sustainable agroindustry operation with an exceptionally low cost per gram of dried flower and with the fastest and most cost-efficient expansion ability. With more than 800 hectares available upon demand developed through a significant number of small growers, medcann’s operations generate a positive social impact with sustainable formal employment.

For medcann, as the leading company in regulatory milestones in Colombia, the Partnership represents a new advance in the development of the medicinal cannabis industry. “Each day we become more convinced of the substantial contribution that the cannabis sector can make to the recovery of the economy in these times of crisis. This agreement confirms medcann’s regulatory and agronomic potential as a driver of change of the industry, as companies rely on complementary expertise as a key input to develop joint products” said Jon Ruiz, President of medcann.
