ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS FOR

THE CANNABIS INDUSTRY

Page 4: GAIA GROW CORP.

WHO WE ARE

Gaia Grow Corp. (“GAIA”) was formed in 2014 with the primary intent of cultivating industrial hemp (< 0.3% THC content). New management in 2017-2018 brought a renewed vigour to the business.

Gaia is now focused on building break through technology on a path to zero waste in the hemp and cannabis industry. Increasing efficiencies and pointing the industry in the direction of sustainability.

Page 5: GAIA GROW CORP.

OUR PROCESS

• Our independently verified, patent pending solvent technology is up to 500% more efficient than ethanol and CO2

• We have the ability to extract 100% of the cannabinoids from the biomass. The goal is to expand cannabinoid recovery to Delta-8 and Delta-10 THC, as well as CBD.

• We have 4 million pounds of CBD biomass in our inventory

• We use applications such as cellulosic and nano-cellulosic fibre (CNC)

• We are targeting zero waste by re-purposing output into higher dollar low volume product

Page 6: GAIA GROW CORP.

REVOLUTIONIZING THE INDUSTRY

For every 1kg of finished, sellable product there is 8kg of waste produced.

We are on a mission to get that down to zero.

TruExtracts Laboratories is fully licensed and located in Calgary, Alberta. It was created for high capacity extraction to meet global demand. TruExtracts is one of Western Canada’s largest cannabis and hemp processors, with the capacity of over one million lbs per year in our British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan facilities. We have the equipment to extract using Supercritical Carbon Dioxide CO2, Ethanol, Butane, and Pentane as well as solventless extraction which allows us to adapt to the different needs of our customers. We also offer white label services for various products.

• TruExtracts facility is 12,000 sq ft and will be expanding to 32,000 sq. ft

• TRU is looking to benefit from the CSS technology by being able to control the bottom line and expand as capacity requirements increase on a volume based business model.

• The projected revenue based the current revenue base of $7-12M.

“Together with TRU, Gaia intends to become a North American industry leader in the Hemp and Cannabis

Extraction space. Our environmentally conscious approach will significantly lower our cost of production and add value as we endeavor to have the lowest cost of production in the industry. I welcome TruExtracts to

the Gaia team and look forward to updating our shareholders as our companies grow together.”

Canna Stream Solutions Ltd. (CSS) is developing critical technologies for storing, transportation and processing of cannabis waste (physical and chemical). Most notably, they have filed a US provisional patent application in the chemical extraction and fractionation of Cannabinoids and monoterpenes from cannabis flower and biomass utilizing their solvent system that is significantly more efficient than ethanol. This gives CSS the ability to significantly manage costs of high throughput processing and extraction of cannabis and Hemp biomass.

Utilizing CSS’s patent-pending environmentally friendly solvent, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, TruExtracts, will be able to process Gaia’s CBD rich product more cost-effectively, providing a significant competitive advantage.

Using CSS’s environmentally green technologies and processes to prepare the non-CBD rich milled fibre product for “low volume, high dollar” end products to be sold to existing CSS industry partners who have unique plant-based product needs for their next level of finished goods manufacturing.

EXTRACTION PROCESS

The fibre/separation happens at 5000 sq. ft.

milling facility in Lacombe. Any waste from the extraction

process is reprocessedCanna Stream can take waste biomass

that has gone through traditional extraction and run it through the machines. There is a reduction in heating and chilling inputs for the extraction process (less waste)

We defoliate the plant and through the Enagon milling

process, redry the product to increase the cannabinoids

Send to TruExtractswho use Canna Stream’s high

efficiency method of extraction

SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS:

REPROCESS BIOMASS FOR FURTHER EXTRACTION OF

CANNABINOIDS

USE BIOMASS WASTE FOR BY-PRODUCTS INCLUDING

COFFEE CUP LIDS, CLOTHES, ETC.

ENVIRONMENTLY FRIEDNLY SOLVENT CAN BE REUSED FOR

EXTRACTION UP TO 5 TIMES

We are here to change the way that cannabis companies look at their biomass both going into the extraction equipment and the output including equipment and process inefficiencies and wasted product.

Traditional ethanol extraction is a single use process compared to Canna Stream’s solution which has been proved effective for up to FIVE uses.
