DENVER, Feb. 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CryoMass Technologies Inc. (the “Company” or “CryoMass“) (OTCQB: CRYM), a pioneering leader in cryogenic refinement systems for trichome-rich crops, today announced the sale of an additional CryoSift Separator™ production model (“Unit”) to Tribe Collective (“Tribe”), in a transaction in which the usage of the Unit will be shared with Choctaw Processing (“Choctaw”). This sale was executed concurrently with non-exclusive patent license agreements for CryoMass’s patented process with both Tribe and Choctaw, established operators in Oklahoma’s cannabis market.
The terms of the agreements include one-time revenue from the sale of the Unit and recurring revenues from processing fees based on biomass volume over the duration of the patent licenses, which are at least five years. While specific terms remain confidential for competitive reasons, recurring revenues to CryoMass in connection with this transaction could exceed $1,000,000 per annum, depending on certain factors. The sale was facilitated through third-party financing provided by NEC Financial Services, LLC a wholly owned subsidiary of NEC Capital Solutions, Limited (“NEC”). CryoMass is grateful to expand its financing partners’ network with the addition of a leading traditional equipment financing institution.
“This innovative transaction demonstrates how our technology can create immediate value for multiple operators within a competitive market,” said Christian Noël, CEO of CryoMass. “By enabling significant cost reductions and improved extraction efficiency, our solution provides Tribe and Choctaw with compelling competitive advantages. This shared-usage model could serve as a template for future deployments in other markets where operators seek to enhance their operational efficiency and market position.”

“The CryoSift Separator™ technology represents a significant advancement for our operations,” said Ryan Medley, CEO of Tribe.

The execution of this multi-party transaction in Oklahoma demonstrates CryoMass’s ability to structure innovative deployment models that address the evolving needs of cannabis operators. As processors and cultivators face increasing market pressures, the adoption of CryoMass’s proprietary technology by established companies like Tribe and Choctaw validates its potential to transform both harvest and post-harvest operations that enhance market competitiveness. This transaction advances CryoMass’s mission to revolutionize biomass refinement while simultaneously delivering long-term value to customers and establishing a recurring revenue model that supports continued innovation and growth.

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 80%, dramatically lowering storage, handling, and transportation costs. Properly stored, CryoSift™ prevents potency and terpene degradation, preserving value. For processors, the minimized input volume also enables considerable cost savings and logistics advantages. Extracting from CryoSift™ using solvents and manufacturing solventless products unlocks industrial scale yields unattainable otherwise. CryoMass anticipates its efficiencies will catalyze industry-wide shifts in cannabis and hemp post-harvest methods. Additionally, the technology shows promise for diverse trichome-rich plants.
