Alchemist Signs Binding LOI with Vancouver based Rubikon Blockchain Corporation to deliver blockchain validated Seed-to-Sale software platform and a B2B wholesale craft cannabis marketplace to licensed operators in Canada and the United States
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / April 1, 2019 / Alchemist Mining Inc (CSE: AMS) ("AMS" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the signing of a binding Letter of Intent ("LOI") for the acquisition of a 10% interest in Rubikon Blockchain Corporation. The purchase price shall be $902,882 Canadian dollars, paid in the common shares of the capital of Alchemist and $800,000 Canadian dollars of further investment, terms of which will be defined in the definitive agreement. Completion of the acquisition is subject to regulatory approvals and entry into a definitive agreement.
Rubikon's flagship software, CertiCraft, is a Seed-to-Sale (S2S) product information and compliance tracking platform for the cannabis industry. Combining RFID and IoT technologies with blockchain immutability provides a secure, automated, and comprehensive solution to the problem of visibility into a cannabis product's point of origin, lab certification, and proof it came from a legal, licensed producer.
"Rubikon's Certicraft, is without a doubt the most comprehensive and simple to use Seed-to-Sale application that we have seen, and we have seen quite a few. We are very excited about the opportunity to partner with the team at Rubikon and to seamlessly integrate their unique Seed-to-Sale software and B2B marketplace to the AMS Technology Platform", said Alchemist CEO Paul Mann.
"Partnering with Alchemist and its existing group of companies makes a lot of sense to us at Rubikon.
