Analysis

The stock surged +16.7% in the session following this news. A strong positive reaction aligns with prior patterns where BIEI moved higher on regulatory and defense-related milestones, such as COFEPRIS authorization or successful armor testing with moves of 16.67% to 25%. However, investors have limited visibility into fundamentals from these headlines alone. Future volatility could be influenced by execution risk around military contracts, timing of commercialization in Mexico, and the market’s tolerance for microcap risk once initial enthusiasm fades.

Key Terms

graphene, cbd, cbg, cannabinoid, +3 more

7 terms

graphene technical

"manufacture of the most effective graphene products, including for military use"

Graphene is a one-atom-thick sheet of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb pattern, like an ultra-thin, incredibly strong and highly conductive version of chicken wire. It matters to investors because its combination of lightness, strength, flexibility and excellent electrical and thermal conductivity could enable breakthroughs across electronics, batteries, sensors and materials; investors monitor who can produce and scale it cost-effectively and turn lab promise into real products.

cbd medical

"commercialization of CBD, CBG, and other cannabinoid products"

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a natural compound found in hemp and cannabis plants that does not produce the “high” associated with THC. Investors care because CBD is sold in a wide range of consumer products and medical treatments, so changes in regulation, clinical evidence, or consumer demand can quickly affect company sales, margins and legal risk — think of it as a product line whose value depends on shifting rules and public trust.

cbg medical

"commercialization of CBD, CBG, and other cannabinoid products"

CBG (cannabigerol) is a naturally occurring compound found in cannabis and hemp plants that does not cause a “high.” Think of it as a raw ingredient in a recipe: manufacturers and researchers can extract and test it for potential health or wellness uses. Investors care because demand, supply, research results, and regulatory decisions around CBG can affect product lines, sales growth, and the valuation of companies in the cannabis and health sectors.

cannabinoid medical

"commercialization of cannabinoid productsEL CENTRO, Calif., Dec. 01, 2025"

Cannabinoids are chemical compounds that interact with the body’s cell signaling system that influences mood, appetite, pain and inflammation; they occur naturally in the cannabis plant, are made by the body, or can be created synthetically. Investors watch cannabinoids because they are the active ingredients that determine a product’s medical effects, consumer demand and regulatory treatment—think of them as the “active ingredient” in a drug or the key flavor that drives sales and legal rules.

industrial hemp technical

"At Premier Graphene Inc., we specialize in all aspects of industrial hemp"

Industrial hemp is the non-psychoactive form of the cannabis plant grown for its fibers, seeds and certain extracts used in textiles, food, building materials and health products. Investors care because hemp creates revenue streams beyond recreational cannabis, affects commodity and manufacturing supply chains, and is shaped by regulations and crop yields — much like a specialty farm crop whose value depends on harvest size, processing capacity and legal access to markets.

ballistic armor technical

"from advanced graphene production, ballistic armor innovations and aerospace"

Ballistic armor is protective gear or materials designed to stop or reduce the damage from projectiles and fragments, like a high-tech vest, vehicle plating or helmet. Investors care because demand, government contracts, safety standards and liability risks around this product can drive a company’s revenue, required research and development spending, regulatory approval needs and reputation—similar to how a best-selling safety feature can boost or burden a car maker.

cofepris regulatory

"official importing license from COFEPRIS, Mexico’s Federal Commission"

Cofepris is Mexico’s national health regulator that approves and monitors medicines, medical devices, vaccines, food safety and other health-related products and services. Think of it as a gatekeeper and traffic cop: its approvals allow products to be sold and inspections or sanctions can restrict operations. Investors care because Cofepris decisions affect market access, sales forecasts, compliance costs and legal risk for companies operating in Mexico.

In yet another milestone toward facilitating the manufacture of the most effective graphene products, including for military use, we have now secured the approval to commence the importation, registration, and commercialization of cannabinoid products

EL CENTRO, Calif., Dec. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Premier Graphene Inc. (OTC: BIEI) reports that partner companies HGI Industrial Technologies S.A. de P.I. de C.V. and Santa Rosa Green Seeds received their coveted, official importing license from COFEPRIS, Mexico’s Federal Commission originally established for Protection Against Sanitary Risks (often referred to as Mexico’s FDA). This nearly exclusive licensure accomplishes a major regulatory milestone, securing approval to commence importation, registration, and commercialization of CBD, CBG, and other cannabinoid products containing less than 1% THC threshold.

The COFEPRIS authorization includes oversight for the safe entry and registration of a broad range of hemp-derived goods into the Mexican market that are for human consumption. This encompasses:

- CBD & CBG extracts and live resins

- Consumer health and wellness products

- Cosmetics and topical formulations

- Nutraceutical and food-grade applications

- Pre-roll hemp cigarettes and smokable hemp products

- Additional cannabinoid-based product lines meeting federal standards

With this approval, HGI Industrial Technologies and Santa Rosa Green Seeds are now cleared to establish direct import pathways, accelerating distribution to existing retail channels and expanding product availability across Mexico.

More importantly, however, this positions Premier Graphene, Inc. to secure ongoing military contracts and to be able to fulfill such contracts at minimal cost, and thus maximizing profit, while facilitating the best possible products with the most efficacious features. Specifically, the military protective gear will be stronger, lighter weight and thus with greater comfort (with graphene). Manufacturing can occur outside the United States and thus be tariff avoidant.

After a long process and many delays, our partner company HGI Industrial Technologies is finally ready to commence importing a full range of product lines focused on health, food, wellness, and cosmetics — including a wide variety of CBD- and CBG-rich products. We congratulate both HGI and Santa Rosa Green Seeds for achieving this critical milestone.

“We are happy to start importing these diverse, high-quality products to the already established points of sale throughout Mexico. At Premier Graphene Inc., we specialize in all aspects of industrial hemp — from advanced graphene production, ballistic armor innovations and aerospace to specialized cannabinoid products for emerging global markets for medical use and for general consumption. We begin in Mexico and expand to Belize and hopefully to the 12 island nations in the Caribbean,” reports Premier’s President, Pedro Mendez.

Carlos Alberto Pérez García, founder of Santa Rosa Green Seeds, explains: “After four years of project development, Santa Rosa Green Seeds S.A. de C.V. is finally ready to begin activities in the world of industrial hemp and cannabis-derived products.”

Mr. Pérez Garcia further reports: “With the resolution and guidelines granted by COFEPRIS in 2025, the company’s business model is now enabled, permitting it to commence importation, manufacturing and commercializing products derived from industrial hemp. This milestone marks a turning point in the Mexican landscape and begins a new stage that strengthens the relations and economic activities between Santa Rosa Green Seeds and HGI Industrial Technologies for the cultivation of hemp and the importation of raw materials and finished products derived from cannabis to the transformation to a wide gamma of products—an advancement that will undoubtedly drive the growth of the expanding market in this sector as well as position us into a variety of markets from food and Cosmetics to aerospace with the help of Premier Graphene and HGI Industrial Technologies.”

Premier Graphene remains committed to meeting the evolving needs of the defense and technology sectors and private industry, including by strengthening graphene supply chains. We also seek to fill the global gap in graphene production as demand continues to rise worldwide.
