- Guaranteed at least $3 million in annual royalties
- Potential for increased revenue
- None.
DENVER, Aug. 31, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CryoMass Technologies Inc. (the “Company” or “CryoMass”) (OTCQB: CRYM) a leader in innovative cryogenic botanical refinement systems, has signed a license agreement with a California cannabinoid ingredient producer, RubberRock Inc. (“RubberRock”) co-owned by famed extractor Brad Robertson, co-founder of Guild Extracts.
Led by Chief Science Officer Brad Robertson and co-founder Kevin Ahaesy, RubberRock aims to become a leader in the production and wholesale of cannabis ingredients.
After demonstrating the trichome separation capabilities of the CryoSift Separator™, CryoMass most important objective was finding the most efficient and scalable way to utilize CryoSift™ for large scale cannabinoid production. This meant finding partners with deep extraction expertise open to new methods beyond existing extraction processes. Current extraction techniques utilize full biomass, not refined and concentrated input material like CryoSift™.
CryoMass found an ideal partner in pioneer extractor Brad Robertson. In 2015, Robertson and Guild Extracts were the first to isolate and commercialize high-purity THCa crystalline, the natural form of THC found in raw cannabis plants. Robertson holds two patents for efficiently extracting and isolating cannabinoids and terpenes using proprietary methods. His ability to produce pure cannabinoids faster, with less solvent, and in higher yields than other processors put him in a class of his own.
THCa crystalline
Robertson’s innovative approach mirrors the way CryoMass developed its trichome separation process due to the creative thinking of Matt Armstrong, CryoMass Senior Director of Innovation, and willingness to explore new methods.
CryoMass identified Brad and his team as the right partner since RubberRock already produces cannabinoid ingredients faster, more efficiently, and cheaper than most processors. Combining CryoMass's patented refinement with Brad's proprietary extraction will enable unprecedented scale and cost efficiency in cannabinoid production.
Under the agreement terms, CryoMass receives a territory licensing fee and ongoing royalties. The royalties include
CryoMass CEO and Director Christian Noël stated, “Partnering with an innovative processor like RubberRock is key to scaling our disruptive technology. This joint solution unlocks new potential for producing high-value cannabinoid ingredients at scale. The structure of this agreement will increase our revenue potential, which is great for all stakeholders".
Robertson stated the collaboration “will allow RubberRock to become a top cannabinoid supplier in California. That wouldn’t be possible without CryoMass’s game-changing refinement process.”
Commercialization Update
With strong demand and solid pipeline, CryoMass continues selectively vetting partners to deploy its technology across key markets, while upholding standards for controlled growth. The company has fielded over 200 inquiries from 20+ countries and 10+ states, engaging with 70+ prospects and is actively involved in conversations with 25+ of them. Near-term plans target two additional unit deployments in strategic regions.
"We want to thank our 4000+ loyal shareholders for their continued support as we work to deliver on the success we've all patiently waited for," said Noël.

About CryoMass
CryoMass Technologies Inc. develops and licenses cutting-edge equipment and processes to refine harvested cannabis, hemp, and other premium crops. The company’s patented technology harnesses liquid nitrogen to reduce biomass and then efficiently isolate, collect and preserve delicate resin glands (trichomes) containing prized compounds like cannabinoids and terpenes.
Building on this technology, CryoMass has engineered its premier Trichome Separation unit (CryoSift Separator™), optimized via patented cryogenic processes to rapidly capture intact, high-value cannabis and hemp trichomes (CryoSift™). Much like sugar and flour refinements, the resulting CryoSift™ concentrate is a superior product compared to unprocessed biomass. For cultivators, reducing biomass into CryoSift™ slashes volume up to
