Thursday, 18 April 2019 09:00 AM

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / April 18, 2019 / Alchemist Mining Inc (CSE: AMS) ("AMS" or the "Company")

Today announced the signing of a binding Letter of Intent ("LOI") to enter into an agreement which will see the exchange of common shares of Island Genetics (IG) and the Company reflecting a 15% interest in IG. The purpose of the agreement is to commercialize the existing genetics library of IG and further develop new strains of cannabis, targeting specific ailments. The exchange shall be valued at $112,500 Canadian dollars.

Island Genetics is a company based out of British Columbia with an emphasis on research and development within the cannabis industry, as well as a focus on the production and preservation of exotic heirlooms, unique hybrids, as well as cannabis strains with specific chemical profiles. Island Genetics began in 2013 as a research project for Davis Allen to treat his chronic stomach disorder. Once receiving an MMAR license to use cannabis for medical purposes, Allen began to build a humble, genetic library comprised of diverse cultivars with different chemical content and profiles. When his condition and symptoms worsened, the lack of available data from the emerging MMPR system pushed David's passion into a research project, which primarily focused on the preservation of exotic cultivars, classic hybrids, and strains that may be utilized for breeding purposes, by isolating specific chemical compounds. The Genetic Library at IG consists of a variety of cannabis strains, including heirloom Indica/Sativa varieties and Hybrids with unique chemical contents.

"Having recently announced a partnership to deliver transdermal cannabis patch technology, it was the natural next step to partner with a group like Island Genetics that is targeting specific ailments and researching and developing the best of breed cannabis strains to address them", said Alchemist CEO, Paul Mann.

Davis Allen, Founder of Island Genetics, said, 'We look forward to working with Paul and his team at Alchemist because we truly believe the products that he is working on will have a powerful impact on the cannabis industry. We also admire Paul's professionalism and by-the-book approach- which is less common in this industry than people think. This has given us the confidence to take this step with Alchemist and become a partner.'

On Behalf of the Board,

Paul Mann, CEO
Alchemist Mining Inc.
