Juva Life Transforming Ex-Cancer Research Facility into Flagship Operation

– Hayward Research Laboratory Positioned to Drive ‘Science of Cannabis’ Efforts

VANCOUVER, BC, — (GLOBE NEWSWIRE – December 22, 2020) – Juva Life Inc. (CSE: JUVA) (OTC: JUVAF) (FRANKFURT: 4VV) (“Juva Life,” “Juva” or the “Company”), a premier California based multi-faceted life sciences company focused on the commercialization of Cannabis products and advanced formulations is pleased to provide an update regarding activities at its Hayward, California facility build-out.

Originally constructed and partially funded by federal research grants, Juva Life’s Hayward project started life as biotechnology cancer research facility focused on the development of plant-based antibodies and the study of protein expression in tobacco plants. As such, the structures on the property includes 18,000 sq. ft. of preexisting purpose-built concrete structures adjoining 11,000 sq. ft. of dedicated greenhouse canopy.

As part of the legacy infrastructure and a key feature in Juva’s future ambitions, the main building includes an ISO Class 5 cleanroom ideally suited to propel Juva’s science of cannabis strategy towards the development of advanced formulations and products. The cleanroom and adjoining laboratory spaces include plans for the installation of liquid and gas chromatography plus mass spectrometry equipment. Class 5 is considered at the more critical end of the class spectrum, requiring a greater level of filtration to achieve a level of cleanliness by typically employing Ultra Low Penetration Air (ULPA) Filtration targeting 99.9995% efficiency at 0.12 micron. This research facility is scheduled to be one of the first operational elements of the Hayward campus.

A Conditional Use Permit (CUP) was approved on October 22^nd upon completion of an extremely rigorous and thorough application process. The application included many details typically included in building permit applications and, as such, it is believed may expedite additional permitting. Upon approval, immediate actions require the installation of physical perimeter security and modernized fire suppression systems. Upon installation, the Company will apply for partial occupancy to enable the outfitting of the laboratory and related processing areas in order to initiate extraction and formulation operations which are anticipated to scale to full production by mid-2021.

Upon completion of the proposed renovations, greenhouse cultivation is conditionally approved for 13,453 sq. ft. within a fully modernized facility. An internal assessment suggests that material yields of up to 4,600 pounds of total biomass inclusive of 3,600 pounds of flower could be harvested in the first full year of activity. Advanced agronomic practices within the controlled environment are anticipated to produce quantifiably premium quality and potency. The Hayward facility will ultimately total 38,000 sq. ft. in size with a manufacturing focus on advanced industrial scale extraction processes utilizing most of the internally harvested material for use in novel formulations, product development, and material supply for Juva’s related divisional activities.

Related activities planned for the Hayward campus include business to consumer (B2C) retail delivery operations offering Juva-produced and 3^rd party products throughout the Eastern San Francisco Bay area. Acting as a distribution center, Juva would have the ability to ship bulk or processed product to other licensed cannabis businesses (including other current or future Juva facilities). In addition, the Company has been conditionally approved to develop a boutique flagship retail operation focused on Juva products in a designer-styled environment.  

Juva’s CEO and Founder, Doug Chloupek states, “We were extremely fortunate to discover the Hayward location early in our planning phase. The previous occupants’ operations provide us with a pre-built facility that closely matches our strategic aims and consequently expedites our ability to advance operations. I’m particularly excited that it appears our lab could be functional early to mid 2021, as the development of a broad spectrum of product formulations through applied science is a fundamental aspect of how we aim to build corporate and shareholder value.”

— Cannabis delivery services position Juva for post pandemic brand loyalty and growth

VANCOUVER, BC, — (GLOBE NEWSWIRE – December 15, 2020) – Juva Life Inc. (CSE: JUVA) (OTC: JUVAF) (FRANKFURT: 4VV) (“Juva Life,” “Juva” or the “Company”), a premier California based multi-faceted life sciences company focused on the commercialization of Cannabis products and advanced formulations is pleased to follow up on its November 25th news release with a featured summary of activities to-date at its Redwood City operations.

In relation to the significantly larger footprint of the Hayward and Stockton facilities which are rapidly advancing through licensing and construction phases, the Redwood City operation was designed to initially target regional delivery services and rapid territorial expansion. With a growing staff of over 14 team members and an expanding vehicle fleet which currently includes 50% hybrid electric vehicles, the service has been operational since late January of 2020.

With a functional capability to easily service the San Francisco Peninsula through its central location halfway between San Francisco and San Jose, the location serves a generally younger demographic in the Silicon Valley region. Ongoing efforts are underway to extend the delivery area to encompass adjacent high density urban centres aimed at increasing the total accessible population to an estimated 1.67 million potential customers.

Through an evolving menu of almost 400 SKU’s to choose from, including numerous award-winning and top selling products, the Juva sales team is constantly improving conversion rates and building a loyal customer base. For more information on product services, visit: www.shopjuva.com/redwood-city/.

In related news, the Company has recently obtained the option to lease a high visibility retail location on a prime corner of downtown Redwood City in a concerted bid to receive one of up to six storefront retail licenses proposed to be granted via a merit-based process by the municipality of Redwood City. Working in conjunction with the existing delivery services operational center for inventory support, the addition of storefront retail could act as a regional brand multiplier and centralized focus for enhanced consumer awareness campaigns.

Juva’s CEO and Founder, Doug Chloupek notes, “COVID-19 created some surprising opportunities and interesting challenges that our team have been able to pivot to our advantage. As a brand-new delivery service offering an extensive menu of popular items, we really had to quickly build confidence based on quality, responsiveness, merit and trust. To-date, we have successfully proven to our growing list of customers that with Juva, they can easily order the products they want, when they want, and where they want them. As news regarding vaccine rollout build hope for future, we believe we are extraordinarily well positioned to leverage our commercial activities to quickly advance marketing momentum and increase our sector positioning as, and when restrictions begin to ease. We have worked hard to get the word out during these challenging times and our efforts will definitely act as a launch pad for continued growth and greatly assist in the creation of sustainable value for our entire enterprise.”
