Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 13, 2017) - Abattis Bioceuticals Corp. (CSE: ATT) (OTCQB: ATTBF) (the "Company" or "Abattis") is pleased to provide an update of recent developments and achievements.

Testing Revenues at Northern Vine LabsTM

Since the launch of its first lab in May of 2017, the Company's subsidiary, Northern Vine Canada Inc. ("Northern Vine"), has been successfully accepting cannabis flower, oil and edible samples at its lab in Langley, BC. The team of scientists continues to perfect their methods and are successfully issuing Certificates of Analysis ("COA's") to early lab clientele.

Capacity Expansion at Northern Vine LabsTM

Due to demand for testing at Northern Vine LabsTM, the Company has commenced the process of enhancing its security to Level 6 to increase the amount of controlled substances it can hold and process in the lab. This will enable Northern Vine to significantly increase the volume of services it can provide to licensed producers and ACMPR patients.

Extraction Technology

On April 20, 2017, Abattis signed an exclusive distribution agreement with Suzhou Raybot Material Tech Corp. ("Raybot"). The agreement allows Abattis to use Raybot's proprietary extraction technology and to exclusively sell the extraction equipment and services. The Company has now received one of Raybot's extraction machines at its Northern Vine lab and has commenced testing of the machinery. The results of the testing will be disclosed once testing is complete.

"We are very excited and eagerly await the results of this technology," stated Abattis President & CEO, Robert Abenante. "This technology has the potential to significantly disrupt the cannabinoid extraction process. With a growing supply chain and increasing consumer demand for derivative products, being able to cost effectively extract cannabinoids at an industrial scale will allow us to have a significant competitive advantage over competing extraction technologies."

Formulations at Northern Vine LabsTM

The team of scientists at Northern Vine, led by Dr. David Galvez, have begun formulation efforts on a proprietary cannabinoid infused product for strategic marketing, with intended distribution as early as fall of 2017. The team has identified an array of unique ingredients and delivery methods for maximum bioavailability and product efficacy and has begun brand development and marketing efforts around this initiative.

Distribution at Vergence NaturalsTM

The relaunch of the Company's Sales and Marketing subsidiary, Vergence Visionary Bioceuticals ("Vergence"), is well underway. The Company has been evaluating and performing due diligence on several products to distribute through its established channels. Vergence will also be the exclusive distribution channel for proprietary products it intends to formulate at Northern Vine LabsTM.

Education and Awareness

The Sales and Marketing team at Northern Vine has begun the implementation of a series of outreach initiatives to further its educational #knowyourmedicine campaign. Once live, the campaign will reach audiences through several mediums, including social media and print magazines. The Company remains committed to bringing awareness to the masses in this rapidly developing industry.

Management Additions

With the increased activity in its primary divisions, the Company has been working to add key positions to its management team in order to support the Company's aggressive growth targets. Key appointments will be announced once finalized in the coming weeks.

"I am very excited by the Company's rapid growth and pleased by the high level of talent the Company has been able to attract," said Mr. Abenante. "I believe we are well positioned and have the right people in place for continued growth of the Company."
