Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - September 24, 2020) - Datametrex AI Limited (TSXV: DM) (FSE: D4G) (OTC Pink: DTMXF) (the "Company" or "Datametrex") is pleased to announce it has entered into a service agreement (the "Agreement"), dated September 21, 2020 with one of the world's largest media and entertainment groups for its theatrical film and TV shows in both Vancouver and Toronto. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company will provide COVID-19 tests with test kits and related services as and when required through subsequent statements of work that will set out the specific scope of services and the dollar amounts for the various projects.

The Company will issue subsequent press releases as when these statements of work are entered into under the Agreement which will disclose the material terms and conditions of such services. Based on current discussions that management of the Company is having with this Media and Entertainment company, it is anticipating that the aggregate dollar amount of revenue under this Agreement is expected to be over CAD $20MM for the initial nine (9) months, given the anticipated demand for COVID-19 testing and related services. There is no assurance or guarantee that the dollar amount of services under this Agreement will result in this or any amount of revenue for the Company.

The services to be completed pursuant to this Agreement are scheduled to commence immediately. Datametrex anticipates that it will have little or no upfront costs associated with importing and selling these test kits. The Company is one of the largest media and entertainment groups with multiple subsidiaries and a worldwide presence.

According to PwC's Global Entertainment & Media ("E&M") Outlook, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated and amplified ongoing shifts in consumers' behaviour, pulling forward digital disruption and forging industry tipping points that would not have been reached for many years.

As a result, the E&M world in 2020 has become more remote, more virtual, more streamed, more personal and - for now at least - more centred on the home. Winners and losers will emerge based on their ability to leverage enabling technology to deliver truly distinctive content and experience options, while navigating regulatory and privacy hurdles.

Vancouver is the third-largest production centre in North America, worth approximately CDN $3.2 billion during 2018/19, according to Creative BC. British Columbia is home to several world-class film and TV studios, including Bridge Studios, Mammoth Studios, Vancouver Film Studios, North Shore Studios, Ironwood Studios, Canadian Motion Picture Park, and The Crossing Studios.

The entire film and TV production in Canada represents approximately $8.92 billion in production volume, and 179,000 full-time equivalent jobs. In March 2020, the industry stopped worldwide.Vancouver and the surrounding areas had 46 productions filming, representing 37% of all Canadian productions, not including the TV commercial market. Each of the shows had a minimum of a 100-person film crew.

The next largest film and television market is Ontario, representing 34% of all Canadian productions. In 2019, Toronto's film and television industry directly employed more than 28,000 people tallying approximately $3.17 Billion.

Additionally, with Canada having far fewer instances of COVID-19 cases than in the United States on a per capita basis according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University, it demonstrates that Canada is a safer jurisdiction for filming, with our testing kits, collection services and labs already set up.

"With Vancouver productions quickly returning to the studios and filming, we feel that this is the tip of the iceberg for new COVID-19 screening in the production industry", said Marshall Gunter, CEO of the Company.
