Core One Labs Now Also Working to Biosynthesize DMT and Receives License

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada – January 8, 2022 – Core One Labs Inc. (CSE: COOL), (OTC: CLABF), (Frankfurt: LD6, WKN: A3CSSU) (“Core One” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has progressed its work on biosynthesizing N,N-Dimethyltryptamine (“DMT”) and has been approved by Health Canada to add N,N-Dimethyltryptamine (“DMT”) to the schedule of approved controlled substances under the existing licence granted by the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (”CDSA”) Dealer’s Licence (the “Licence”) which allows its wholly owned subsidiary Vocan Biotechnologies Inc. (“Vocan”) to research and produce biosynthetic psilocybin.

Furnished with its renewed licence in the second half of 2021, and having now received approval to add DMT to its licence coverage, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Vocan Biotechnologies Inc. under its operating lab’s licence, has furthered its engineering and design optimization efforts for the proprietary manufacturing of API-grade DMT. The Company’s team of scientists at Vocan have been working diligently to expand a psychedelics production pipeline to include DMT. Initial indications of design and engineering suggest that using the same recombinant enzyme fermentation platform utilized to produce API-grade psilocybin, Vocan scientists will be able to replicate its biosynthesized psylocibin successes and announce ability to produce stereochemically sound biosynthesized DMT at scale.

The Company is confident that replication of historical research and development processes performed for its successful biosynthesis of psylocibin will allow for a more rapid turn around of its second biosynthesized psychedelic compound, DMT. Following similar processes of engineering and design may also increase probability of the Company’s filing of a patent for this second proprietary compound in the near term.

“Based on the significant progress we have made on biosythesizing psilocybin, DMT is the next compound we are working to biosynthesize. As we expect completion of the process for psilocybin in the upcoming days, we believe that we can fast track the process for DMT, as it uses the same steps to biosynthesize the compounds. Our team of leading scientists have done an amazing job in getting us to this stage and we are excited about the results we are seeing.” Stated Joel Shacker CEO of the Company.

Core One Labs Applauds Health Canada’s Amendments to Special Access Program, Allowing Physicians to Request Patient Access to Psychedelic Treatments

Core One Labs Applauds Health Canada’s Amendments to Special Access Program, Allowing Physicians to Request Patient Access to Psychedelic Treatments

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada – January 5, 2022 – Core One Labs Inc. (CSE: COOL), (OTC: CLABF), (Frankfurt: LD6, WKN: A3CSSU) (the “Company” or “Core One”) applauds Health Canada for its recent amendment to the Special Access Programme (SAP), which will now allow physicians to request patient access to psychedelic treatments, including psilocybin-assisted therapy.

The amendments under the SAP came into effect as of today, January 5, 2022, as published in the Canada Gazette, and allows physicians to request psychedelic treatments on behalf of their patients, on a case-by-case basis, for serious treatment-resistant or life-threatening conditions. This significant amendment has the potential to provide numerous Canadians struggling with serious mental health afflictions with alternative therapies where traditional treatments have failed, or where other treatments are unsuitable or are unavailable in Canada.

Canada’s SAP was designed with the purpose of allowing people access to new, potentially life-saving medications before they are formally approved for routine use in healthcare, however prior to today’s milestone amendment, psychedelic medications have been ineligible for Special Access Programme applications. Today’s regulatory amendment will enable Canadian physicians to apply for psychedelic therapies in a similar process as to how other investigational medications are accessed prior to formal drug approval.

The amendment to SAP by Health Canada is an historic milestone in Canada’s approach to treating mental health conditions and signifies a growing recognition of the important and growing body of research that supports the efficacy of psychedelics and psychedelic-assisted therapies in treating mental health afflictions. According to Health Canada, access to psychedelic treatments will be provided where there is sufficient data to support the safety and efficacy of the targeted drug for a patient’s specific condition.

Under the SAP patients are not eligible to make direct application for access to psychedelic therapies, only licensed healthcare practitioners who are authorized under the laws of a province or territory to treat patients with a prescription drug may file requests through the SAP.

“This is an incredibly important milestone for Canada,” stated Joel Shacker, Core One CEO. “Health Canada’s amendment to the Special Access Program, has the potential to improve the lives or numerous Canadians suffering from mental health afflictions, including major depression, end-of-life anxiety and even addictions and historical traumas. It also provides doctors and their patients a safe, legal and regulated process for providing alternative treatments to mental health patients that desperately seek alternatives to otherwise failing contemporary modalities. Core One applauds Health Canada’s serious approach to mental health reform, and feels a brighter future is in near sight for many Canadians. Well done, Canada!”

In addition to applauding the historic amendments made by Health Canada to the SAP, the Company also announces that, further to its press release dated December 22, 2021, the Company has removed the voluntary pooling restrictions on the 5,814,000 common shares issued in connection with its acquisition of New Path Laboratories Inc., which includes 114,000 common shares issued to certain third parties who provided administrative services necessary to complete the Transaction.

The Company further announces that is has granted a total of 2,144,000 Restricted Share Units (the “RSUs”) to certain eligible consultants, directors, officers, and employees under its 10% rolling Restricted Share Unit Plan. The RSUs will vest in four (4) months. All the RSUs (and any common shares issuable upon redemption) will be subject to applicable securities law hold periods.

Core One Labs Applauds The City Of Seattle In Their Efforts To Decriminalize Psylocibin And Other Natural Occuring Entheogenic Drugs

Core One Labs Applauds The City Of Seattle In Their Efforts To Decriminalize Psylocibin And Other Natural Occuring Entheogenic Drugs

Vancouver, British Columbia, October 16, 2021 – Core One Labs Inc. (CSE: COOL), (OTC: CLABD), (FWB: LD6, WKN: $LD6) (the “Company”) a research and technology company focused in life sciences and on bringing psychedelic medicines to market through novel delivery systems and psychedelic assisted psychotherapy, congratulates Seattle’s city council in their unanimous vote to decriminalize the use, possession and cultivation of naturally occurring entheogenic drugs, including psilocybin for “religious, spiritual, healing or personal growth practices.”.

On Monday, October 4, 2021, the City of Seattle officially became the largest city in the United States to decriminalize non-commercial use around a number of psychedelic substances that originate from “living, fresh, dried or processed plant or fungal material, including teas or powders”, through the passage of resolution number 32021 “A RESOLUTION declaring that the investigation, arrest, and prosecution of anyone engaging in entheogen-related activities should be among the city of Seattle’s lowest law enforcement priorities and stating the council’s support for full decriminalization of these activities.” The resolution was sponsored by City Council member Andrew Lewis, and received unanimous support from all council members, and effectively represents the City’s first step in a move to change its drug policies, and to support the largely demonstrated scientific potential these substances can have in providing cutting-edge treatments for substance abuse and other mental and health afflictions.
Seattle joins at least nine (9) other cities in the United States that have decriminalized psilocybin and similar substances. Other cities include Denver (COL), Washington (DC), Oakland (CA), Santa Cruz (CA), Sommerville (MASS), Cambridge (MASS) and Northampton (MASS) and Ann Arbor (MI). In 2020, the State of Oregon became the first state to legalize psilocybin for therapeutic use.
Another push for the lessening of legal obstacles surrounding psychedelics was made on this month, with the publishing of “Psychedelic therapy: a roadmap for wider acceptance and utilization”, by the head of Harvard Law School’s Project on Psychedelics Law and Regulation, Mason Marks. In a peer reviewed article Mr. Marks advocates for the relaxation of laws around psychedelic drugs in order to further mental health-care innovation. Marks’ article was published in peer-review journal, Nature Medicine, and strongly suggests that the current status of psilocybin, as a Schedule I controlled substance – the same category as hard drugs such as heroin – precludes psychedelics research from receiving federal funding for research, and creates a considerable obstacle to further such research. Mr. Marks stresses that moving psilocybin to a less-restrictive category would help create “more-inclusive clinical trials and unbiased regulatory review” by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
“It is very encouraging to see a growing number of governments championing the health and wellness benefits of psychedelics and taking necessary steps towards decriminalization and ultimately de-stigmatization of these beneficial compounds. Additionally, as suggested by Mason in his psychedelic law reform article, eliminating the stigma that currently surrounds psychedelics could go a long way in having these compounds to be rescheduled and exponentially further research efforts.”
The Company further announces that it intends to settle an aggregate of $190,000 in outstanding indebtedness (the “Debt Settlement”) to three arms-length parties through the issuance of 111,112 common shares (the “Shares”) at a price of $1.71 per share. The shares issued under the Debt Settlement will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance.
The Company also wishes to clarify that, with respect to its upcoming Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders scheduled to be held at 11am on October 28, 2021, the deadline to submit proxies is 11:00am on October 26, 2021 (48 hours prior to the meeting).
