Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - January 24, 2017) - The Jenex Corporation (TSXV: JEN.H) ("Jenex", or the "Company"). Jenex would like to report that the development of the working prototype for the patent pending TherOZap™ is progressing well and expected to be completed in 4 to 6 weeks. On December 8 2016, the Company announced the development of its TherOZap™ device utilizing proprietary features would be tested against both the Zika and West Nile Virus. Jenex is now in the final stages of design work which includes technical advances such as the selection of optimal components and form factor.

The company expects to initiate testing of the working prototype by a world renowned scientific research lab against the Zika and the West Nile virus towards the end of the first quarter of 2017. The scientific lab testing would be comprised of in-vitro tests to determine if TherOZap™ is effective in inactivating both the Zika and West Nile virus and potentially other mosquito borne diseases. The Company would like to caution that the TherOZap™ device may not be effective against the Zika and West Nile Virus. In addition the lab testing will determine any anti-viral, anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory benefits of the device. The tests will determine if the Zika and West Nile virus' are susceptible to the treatment conditions of the technology including the identification of effective treatment parameter ranges.

Following the in-vitro tests and provided the results are favorable the Company will undergo further testing of the device.

Rob Fia, CEO commented:

"We are pleased with the work we have completed to date in developing our TherOZap™ device and the potential new features we've added to the device. Jenex is truly a leader and early mover in this space."
