VANCOUVER, BC, July 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ - Chemistree Technology Inc. (CSE: CHM) (CSE: CHM.WT) (USOTCQB: CHMJF) (the "Company" or "Chemistree") is pleased to announce that through its indirect, wholly-owned California subsidiary, the Company has completed the sale of its 9.55 acre land package located in the City of Desert Hot Springs, Riverside County, California (the "DHS property"). Gross consideration for sale was US$1,957,000.

The DHS property was acquired in 2019 as raw land, and over the course of the intervening two years the Company's development team advanced the land to a shovel-ready state. Advanced planning, permitting, and engineering work was completed – together with the required anthropological and environmental studies. In conjunction with the sale, the Company has negotiated a back-in option agreement with the purchaser, such that as the purchaser advances the construction of the project, re-named "AMP Industrial Park", the Company has the unilateral option to acquire a new 16,460 square-foot cannabis production and processing building at a predetermined price.

Chemistree president Karl Kottmeier commented, "The property was sold at a significant profit to the Company. We purchased the DHS property prior to a dramatic downturn in the cannabis market and found, despite the excellent development work by our California team led by our Chief Cannabis Officer Sheldon Aberman, that the project had become essentially un-financeable given the drastic increase in the cost of capex and opex capital. We persevered with the development plan, held the project in good standing throughout and have now turned a profit from this investment. This is an important capital infusion for the Company and will allow management and the Board of Directors to better plan for future investments."

Advisory
The Company wishes to inform shareholders that there are significant legal restrictions and regulations that govern the cannabis industry in both Canada and the United States.

Cannabis-related Practices or Activities are Illegal Under U.S. Federal Laws
The concepts of "medical cannabis" and "recreational cannabis" do not exist under U.S. federal law. The Federal Controlled Substances Act classifies "marihuana" as a Schedule I drug. Under U.S. federal law, a Schedule I drug or substance has a high potential for abuse, no accepted medical use in the United States, and a lack of safety for the use of the drug under medical supervision. As such, cannabis related practices or activities, including without limitation, the manufacture, importation, possession, use or distribution of cannabis are illegal under U.S. federal law. Strict compliance with state laws with respect to cannabis will neither absolve the Company of liability under U.S. federal law, nor will it provide a defence to any federal proceeding which may be brought against the Company. Enforcement of U.S. federal laws will be a significant risk to the business of the Company and any such proceedings brought against the Company may adversely affect the Company's operations and financial performance.

Further information regarding the legal status of cannabis related activities and associated risk factors, including, but not limited to, risk of enforcement actions, risks that third-party service providers, such as banking or financial institutions cease providing services to the Company, and the risk that Company may not be able to distribute profits, if any, from U.S. operations up to the Company, are included in the Prospectus, the Company's annual information form and other documents incorporated by reference therein and in the Company's Form 2A listing statement filed with the CSE and available under the Company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
