(CSE:PUMP)(FRA:WCF)(OTCQB:WCEXF) (the "Company" or "World-Class") is pleased to announced the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO") has issued U.S. Patent No. 10,851,077 on December 1, 2020 in relation to the Company's methods for extracting and concentrating cannabinoids and other target compounds from cannabis using ultrasound-enhanced solvent extraction

WCE's patented plant processing technology allows for prompt cannabinoid extraction following harvest, including the root and all other parts of the hemp plant and further utilizes ethanol for extraction, as opposed to the use of toxic hydrocarbon solvents. WCE's patented process additionally uses precisely focused ultrasound to release cannabinoids from the hemp plant that produces CBD yields that are believed to be among the highest in the industry while also minimizing biomass waste and solvent usage. Additional features associated with WCE's extraction methodology include fast set-up and mobile capabilities to allow for environmentally friendly, on-site processing that can likewise be modified to scale so as to process any volume of plant material.

The patented process by World-Class supplements its goal to achieve the most sustainable, efficient, and economical method of large-scale extraction from pre-processing of plant harvest to final extract end product by achieving maximized cannabinoid recovery yields while minimizing energy consumption and volume of solvent used in the extraction process, including the ability recapture and reuse the solvent for additional extraction cycles. As is widely recognized in the extraction industry, the amount and type of solvent used in the extraction process is one of the largest cost variables for operating extraction equipment.

Provisions of the patent covers several broad steps throughout the extraction process ranging from: compound removal, purification, cannabinoid isolation, filtration, separation, solvent recovery, compound mixtures and more.
