Numinus to expand state-of-the-art psychedelics research laboratory

Numinus Bioscience adds research space, enhances contract services,
accelerates IP development and increases psychedelic supply capacity

Numinus Wellness Inc. ("Numinus" or the "Company") (TSXV: NUMI ), a global leader in supporting and expanding the safe, accessible and evidence-based use of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapies (PAP), is pleased to announce plans to significantly expand its psychedelics research laboratory by late 2021.

A 7,500 square-foot expansion will be developed and housed in an existing Numinus-leased building adjacent to the current lab. The expansion announcement comes days after Numinus received amendments to its federal licence under Canada's Controlled Drugs and Substances Act to allow the possession, production, assembly, sale, export and/or delivery of a variety of psychedelics including Ketamine, LSD, Mescaline, N,N-Dimethyltryptamine (DMT), N-Methyl-3,4, methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDMA), Psilocin and Psilocybin . 1

"Our investment in an expanded lab marks a key milestone for Numinus and provides the necessary foundation for therapeutics development and research infrastructure to advance psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy in Canada and around the world," said Sharan Sidhu , Science Officer and General Manager for Numinus Bioscience, the Company's laboratory division and a pioneer in psychedelic research and development.

Added Sidhu: "When complete, the facility will enhance our IP and partnerships strategy, generate more revenue through analytics testing for psychedelics and other contract services, and increase our supply of consistent, safe and effective psychedelics for clinical use and trials undertaken by academic, not-for-profit and for-profit entities."

The current lab is conducting innovative work in areas such as Psilocybe mushroom cultivation and extraction, formulation studies and a genotypically verified spore bank and tissue culture library. The expanded facility will accelerate this work and add several psychedelic substances and capabilities to contract lab services, increase capacity for high-throughput psychedelics testing and enhance research and development activities in a wide array of psychedelics.

While Numinus Bioscience develops infrastructure, systems and processes at the expansion site, contract and research work will continue uninterrupted at the Company's current Health Canada-licensed laboratory facility.

Lab to receive $1.2 million in new equipment

The current laboratory facility recently took possession of next-generation analytical equipment including the Orbitrap Exploris 120 Mass Spectrometer, a state-of-the-art high-resolution mass spectrometry instrument that supports research to optimize the cultivation, harvest and extraction of Psilocybe mushrooms and implement discovery of unknowns and interactions in several psychedelic botanicals in addition to mushrooms. The lab expects to soon receive additional instrumentation, representing a total investment of $1.2 million , to support innovation and development of intellectual property related to Psilocybe mushrooms and standardized test methods for a range of psychedelics.

Cannabis leaf over map of Australia.

A State-by-State Guide to Cannabis in Australia (Updated 2024)

Australia federally legalised medicinal cannabis in 2016, and Australia's cannabis market has seen major growth since then.

Medical cannabis approvals were up by 120 percent in the first half of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. Statista forecasts that Australian cannabis revenue will reach AU$3.73 billion in 2024 and grow at an annual rate of 3.22 percent, culminating in market volume worth AU$4.53 billion by 2029.

However, Australia’s cannabis industry is still young. Despite there being a strong case for a regulated market, which was outlined in a July 2024 report by the Penington Institute, recreational use is not legal and medical access remains limited and regulated. Yet, public support for legalisation is growing. YouGov data released in January 2024 showed that over half of Australians polled are in favour of decriminalising cannabis, and half of the respondents between the ages of 18 and 49 support legalising personal use.

In 2023, the Australian Greens, the country’s only seat-holding federal party in favour of legalisation, introduced the Legalising Cannabis Bill 2023, sponsored by the party’s leader Senator David Shoebridge. This was Australia’s first parliamentary effort to legalise cannabis.
