Revolutionizing Harvesting & Refinement of Cannabis & High Value Plants OTCQX: CRYM INVESTOR PRESENTATION TECHNOLOGIES SEPTEMBER 2022

 

 

Harvesting & Refinement Done More Efficiently CryoMass Technologies Inc. designs, manufactures and commercializes cryo - mechanical systems and processes for the harvesting and refinement of hemp, cannabis, and other high - value plants. Harvesting is simplified by processing fresh whole plant straight from the field while eliminating the need for bucking, trimming, drying and milling. This significantly reduces processing time, labor and cost while substantially increasing preservation of value components. Our patented cryogenic trichome separation module enables processors to scale the production of solventless products to an industrial capacity that is not currently achievable with existing technology. The system’s efficiency and yield are unmatched by the competing processes, and at a fraction of the operational cost. 2 ABOUT US

Hemp & Marijuana Are The Same Plant; Cannabis sativa All forms of cannabis, including marijuana and hemp, belong to a single species - cannabis sativa 4 HEMP VS. MARIJUANA HEMP A term often used in policy to describe any cannabis variety with less than 0.3% THC. Traditionally bred for CBD, fiber and seed MARIJUANA A vernacular term typically used to describe cannabis with higher levels of THC (over 10%). Traditionally bred for cannabinoids – most notably THC

 

 

1. FLOWER Often called buds, cannabis flowers vary in appearance depending on their sex and genetic traits. The colours range widely with the most common being green, orange, red and purple. The female flower, having the highest concentration of trichomes, is the part of the plant that is consumed to experience the effects attributed to cannabis. 5 PLANT ANATOMY 2. TRICHOMES Cannabis trichomes contain, in varying quantities, several cannabinoid compounds, predominantly tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). Trichomes appear as tiny crystals all over the plant. They are bigger and denser on the flowers than on the leaves. 3. LEAF The symbol of the cannabis and something of an icon, the leaf is easily recognizable by its fan shape, pronounced venation and serrated leaflets. Leaf colour can range from pale green to dark olive green. TERPENES Different strains of cannabis have different sets of terpenes, which are comparable to essential oils. It is mainly the terpenes that give cannabis plants their particular aromas and flavours. 1 2 3

 

 

STALKS Stalks consist of an inner woody hurd fibre, and an outer string - like bast fibre. Hurd can be used for hempcrete, insulation, construction materials, mulch, paper, plastics, particle board, energy and biofuels and many other applications. Bast uses include pulp and paper, biocomposites, textiles, rope, construction materials, and energy and biofuels. 6 CANNABIS: A PLANT OF MANY USES LEAVES Leaves harness energy from the sun for plants to survive. They may be used for energy and biofuels, nutraceuticals, tea, cosmetics, compost, and various agro - chemicals. SEEDS Seeds are produced in female flowers. They contain a high amount of protein and beneficial fats. Seeds are used for protein powder, vegetable oils, cosmetics including topicals and hair products, energy and biofuels, flour, animal feed, and many other applications.

 

 

Importance Of T richomes Glandular trichomes are small resin glands found mostly on the surface of female flowers. These chemical factories produce hundreds of compounds including cannabinoids and terpenes. Cannabinoids, including THC and CBD, are responsible for the medicinal and sometimes psychoactive effects of cannabis. Terpenes (and terpenoids) are largely responsible for the characteristic smell of cannabis as well as contributing to the medicinal effects. Cannabinoids and terpenes are found almost exclusively within the glandular trichomes and nowhere else on the plant. Not only are these compounds very sensitive to environmental factors such as oxygen, heat and light, the trichomes housing these compounds are very delicate and will readily fracture or detach when subjected to physical agitation. 7 WHY TRICHOMES?

 

 

T r aditional Harvesting & Processing Methods Incur Enormous Loss Of T richomes 8 CRYOMASS VS. CONVENTIONAL PROCESSING METHODS Conventional processing methods haven’t changed much since the 1960s, when the industry operated illegally out of someone’s backyard. The methods waste a third or more of the plant’s most desired elements – the trichomes. The trouble starts with the fragility of trichomes. They break off easily and are lost forever in the same way a Christmas tree loses its needles when handled and then are gone forever. With conventional handling and drying, every step shakes off more of them. All in all, roughly one - third of the trichomes are lost. When the plant is handled and trucked to a drying facility, the loss of trichomes accelerates. Then – midway through drying – the flower becomes extremely brittle and trichome loss becomes exponential , like the needles of a Christmas tree being forced through the front door at the end of the holiday season. By that point, the plant still needs to be handled and transported to the extraction facility. The biggest challenge in any plant processing is to capture all the valuable elements that are wrapped up inside the plant at the moment of harvest. There really was no way to accomplish this…until now.

 

 

What Have T richomes Been T r aditionally Used For? 9 USE OF TRICHOMES Hashish, also known as hash, is a cannabis concentrate product composed of compressed or purified preparations of stalked resin glands, called trichomes. Hash has a long history of usage in countries such as Morocco, Afghanistan, India, Iran, Israel, and Lebanon. The sticky resins glands of the fresh flowering female cannabis plant are collected. Traditionally this was, and still is, done in remote locations by pressing or rubbing the flowering plant between two hands and then forming the sticky resins into a small ball of hashish called charas. This method produces the highest amount of cannabinoids (THC content up to 60%) without chemical solvents or distillation. Mechanical separation methods use physical action to remove the trichomes from the dried plant material, such as sieving through a screen by hand or in motorized tumblers. This technique is known as "drysifting". The resulting powder, referred to as "kief" or "drysift", is compressed with the aid of heat into blocks of hashish. Ice - water separation is another mechanical method of isolating trichomes .

 

 

How Were T richomes Collected Before CryoMass ? 10 CRYOMASS VS. CONVENTIONAL PROCESSING METHODS Traditional trichome separation methods are rudimentary at best. The cannabis flower is typically placed in a mesh bag, soaked in ice water and then agitated to separate the trichomes. The careful agitation is done by machine or by hand, using paddles. Trichomes may break away from supporting flower and leaves when plant material becomes brittle at low temperatures. After plant material has been agitated in an icy slush, separated trichomes are often dense enough to sink to the bottom of the ice - water mixture following agitation, while lighter pieces of leaves, stems and other plant particles tend to float. The water is then left to settle and the trichomes at bottom of the tank are isolated using filtration bags with various - sized screens.

11 CRYOMASS VS. TRADITIONAL SYSTEMS CryoMass vs. T r aditional T richome Separation Systems When comparing the results of the patented CryoMass system to traditional ice water trichome separation systems, there is no comparison. Based on the processing of 25,000 lbs of biomass, here is a comparison of our trichome separation system versus nine leading traditional systems that do not and cannot utilize our patented cryogenic, solventless separation process. They use ice water instead. It is important to note that one of the key reasons the CryoMass system is so much more efficient from a process and cost - saving perspective is that it is, to the best of our knowledge, the only continuous - feed separation system while all others are batch - feed systems. Although the Company's initial focus is on the cannabis and hemp sector, there is tremendous potential to generate important revenue streams from processing other high - value, trichome - rich plants where similar cost savings and end - product improvements can be realized.

13 CRYOSIFT & WHAT IT MAKES SOLVENTLESS PRODUCTS CRYOSIFT IS TRICHOMES IN THEIR PUREST FORM • CryoSift can be used for making THC and CBD products for medicinal, wellness and recreational purposes . It can also be used for making CBD products for animals . • The quality of CryoSift is superior to sift obtained with traditional dry and water - based trichome separation methods. Cryogenic separation results in increased cannabinoid yields, higher terpene count for a greater retention of the most desirable compounds. • Though CryoSift can be consumed as is, it is the ideal input for manufacturing superior premium concentrates at scale, without the use of solvents (solventless) . • CryoSift can also be used as a high - quality feedstock for traditional solvent - based extraction methods (such ethanol, CO2 or hydrocarbon) to create extracts with different flavor, color and aroma profiles like live resin concentrates. We Call The Result Of Our Cryogenic Trichome Separation - CryoSift SOLVENT BASED PRODUCTS THC & CBD Live Rosin Concentrates & Vapes, Hash, Tinctures, Edibles, Gel Caps, Beverages, Pre - Rolls, Etc.
