Vinergy Resources/MJ BioPharma Announces Breakthrough in Oral Cannabinoid Strip and Time Release Capsule Technologies

VANCOUVER, BC, February 14, 2017 - Vinergy Resources Ltd. (OTCQB: VNNYF)(CSE: VIN.CN) ("Vinergy" or the "Company"), in conjunction with its proposed acquisition of MJ Biopharma (announced December 14, 2016) is pleased to announce a major breakthrough while conducting research and development on oral cannabinoid complex (Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), Cannabidiol (CBD), Cannabinol (CBN) and Terpenes) delivery strips and controlled time release capsule technology. This novel approach will be the basis for several products where water or saliva is the catalyst used to activate the carrier for delivery and absorption of the cannabinoid complex into the body.

This unique approach forms the basis for a fundamentally new technology and product category. The technology is called “BURST” due to its incredibly fast action and ability to enhance the body’s absorption of various medicinal ingredients contained in the Company’s products. The BURST system is built on natural botanical polymers delivering specially processed high purity cannabinoid complexes. The unique system for cannabinoid activation maintains the natural balance of THC, CBD, CBN and terpenes while preserving the maximum therapeutic effect and potentially delivering it to the body faster than any currently available delivery method. The patent pending technology allows for a more complete palatable drug delivery system that is effective and enhances the patient or user experience while intensifying flavour.

“This is a great breakthrough for us and the product line we have planned. The technology can also be utilized in our time release capsules which of course will have a slower absorption rate. We think time release capsules are extremely important as they help bridge the gap in terms of familiarity with many patients who want to switch from synthetic drugs to a natural product as a way to reduce side effects and drug,” said Mr. Kent Deuters, CEO of MJ Biopharma. “We look forward to providing additional updates in the coming weeks,” added Mr. Deuters.

The Hemp Business Journal estimates the total U.S. CBD market will grow to $2.1 billion in consumer sales by 2020.

This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities in the United States. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to U.S. Persons unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available.

Vinergy Resources/MJ BioPharma to Acquire Majority Stake in Multinational Plant Breeder with CAD $14,000,000 in Annual Sales

VANCOUVER, BC, February 02, 2017 - Vinergy Resources Ltd. (OTCQB: VNNYF)(CSE: VIN.CN) ("Vinergy" or the "Company"), in conjunction with its proposed acquisition of MJ Biopharma (announced December 14, 2016) is pleased to announce that it has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) to acquire up to 51% of a European multinational plant breeding company (“Target”). The Target has audited annual sales in excess of CAD $14,000,000 and adjusted EBITDA of over CAD $2,000,000.

This development is a major step forward in establishing Vinergy as a leader in the global cannabis industry. The Target is a leading developer of plants and plant genetics and has been providing global customers with various commercial agriculture services for over 25 years. In 2016 they shipped over 35,000,000 plant products to the global marketplace. As part of the acquisition, Vinergy now has access to an extensive catalogue of over 2000 hemp and cannabis strains with the ability to supply those strains to customers globally.

Together with Vinergy, the Target has the capacity to expand rapidly into the hemp, cannabis and cannabinoid (CBD) sectors across Europe. “CBD is revolutionizing the global chronic pain management market and we have determined we can utilize our first mover advantage to take a leading market position in multiple countries,” said Mr. Kent Deuters, CEO of MJ Biopharma. “Given the current marketplace dynamics, existing customer base and technology we now have access to; we plan to immediately roll out several new hemp and CBD initiatives. Additionally, it’s important for our investors to know that we are diversified and not totally dependent on the cannabis space but have multiple complimentary revenue verticals.”

The global CBD market is experiencing significant growth: Europe’s market potential for CBDs is estimated to be €2 billion as a treatment for chronic diseases, according to a new report by Nova-Institute and HempConsult (both of Germany). The reports reviewed the market for non-psychotropic CBD which is increasingly in demand as a food supplement and pharmaceutical. The Hemp Business Journal estimates the total U.S. CBD market will grow to a $2.1 billion market in consumer sales by 2020 with $450 million of those sales coming from hemp-based sources.

“Our goal has always been to control every step of the production process from genetics, right through to extraction, ensuring only the highest quality extracts are used in the formulation of our strips, time release capsules and other products currently under development for the medical and recreational cannabis space,” added Mr. Deuters. The Company will aim to work with large growers and provide access for them to a comprehensive catalogue of cannabis strains.

Terms and conditions of the pending acquisition were not disclosed. The transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions, is expected to close in tranches, with the first being in Q1-2017.

This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities in the United States. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to U.S. Persons unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available.

Vinergy appoints Panenka to scientific advisory board

January - 2017 - Vinergy Resources Ltd. (OTCQB: VNNYF)(CSE: VIN.CN), in conjunction with its proposed acquisition of MJ Biopharma (announced on Dec. 14, 2016), has appointed Dr. William Panenka, MD, as chair of the company's scientific advisory board. Bringing on the right human capital through strategic hires is an important part of the company's strategy to develop, test and identify specific cannabinoid isolates for targeted therapeutic purposes.

Dr. Panenka received his MD and MSc from the University of Calgary in Canada. His MSc was basic science focused, utilizing western blotting, polymerase chain reaction, in situ hybridization and other wet lab techniques to study the immune system. He completed residencies in both psychiatry and neurology at the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Vancouver, Canada. Dr. Panenka is one of only two specialists in Western Canada with a unique dual certification from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada in both the specialties of neurology and psychiatry.

In 2011, Dr. Panenka began a research fellowship focusing on the mental and physical health, as well as the brain imaging correlates of drug use, addictions and traumatic brain injuries. In 2012, he became a research fellow at Harvard University and was competitively recruited to the University of British Columbia in 2013 as an assistant professor in psychiatry. His main focus is addiction and traumatic brain injury, with multiple basic science and clinical collaborations nationally and internationally.

For the past five years, Dr. Panenka has been involved in a large project funded by a Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) team grant to longitudinally follow over 400 vulnerably housed individuals, with a high burden of addictions and mental health issues, in Vancouver's poorest neighbourhood. They perform extensive cognitive phenotyping, neuropsychiatric assessments and multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on participants, and follow them for 10 years. This study involves collaboration between multiple medical specialties, local health clinics and community organizations. He is a co-investigator on an extension study that was just funded by CIHR and slated to run for the next five years.

He is also the B.C. primary site investigator on a national multisite study funded by Brain Canada, titled "A National biobank and database for patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI)." The goal is to enroll TBI patients of all severities, and longitudinally follow them for six months with cognitive assessments and MRI, and pool these data into a national database. He is part of a multidisciplinary team within the division of neuropsychiatry at UBC that includes of neurologists, psychiatrists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and others that contribute. Within this role, he is developing a research-enabled neuropsychiatry concussion clinic at the University of British Columbia. He is the medical lead of this clinic and the physician consultant to the Fraser Health Concussion Clinic, the largest concussion clinic in the province.

Dr. Panenka brings invaluable experience, expertise and insight, and the company looks forward to developing numerous projects that he can participate in. Dr. Panenka will be granted 150,000 options exercisable at 55 cents, subject to approval by the Canadian Securities Exchange.
