(CSE:COOL)(OTC PINK:CLABF)(Frankfurt:LD62) (WKN: A2P8K3) ("Core One " the "Company ") is pleased with the tremendous turnout on the International Investors' Call held earlier today. Core One's Chairman, Dr. Robert E.W.

Highlights
Intellectual Property and Patent Process
Dr. Hancock announced that the Company has assembled the necessary data for its research and development program on biosynthetic psilocybin production systems in order to commence the process of preparing and filing its first patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The initial filing is the first in a series of upcoming patent filings aimed at protecting valuable intellectual property that underpins the proprietary fermentative production process for active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) grade psilocybin.
Vocan Psilocybin Production Cost
Vocan's process engineers bacteria incorporating optimized biosynthetic genes from the psilocybe cubensis mushroom which will enable the bacteria to act as a biological factory and synthesize psilocybin that is highly cost-effective using simple building blocks . The platform can make the active compounds that occur naturally by using a gene mimicry process and simple chemical modifications to enable the creation of bioidentical compounds, which can be proven to be more targeted and safer.
Comparison to Peers
Core One Lab's has not identified any competitors that are currently developing biosynthesized psilocybin. There are other public companies producing psilocybin using different methods of production, such as synthetic psilocybin. Typical cost of synthesizing a form of pure psilocybin that meets standards set by the US Food and Drug Administration's Good Manufacturing Practice is anywhere from $7,000 - $10,000 per gram.
In the current psilocybin environment, we have not identified any companies that are able to produce pure psilocybin at one hundredth of the current cost.
Speaking about other companies in the psilocybin space Dr. Robert E. W. Hancock, Chairman of the Company stated, "You might consider them competitors, but in our case, we consider them to be potential clients. "
"We are very happy to see such great attendance on today's call. We are well positioned in psilocybin research and development of commercial products and look forward to providing future updates as they become available ." stated Joel Shacker CEO of the Company.
