LONDON, ON, March 11, 2019 /CNW/ - Indiva Limited (the "Company" or "Indiva") (TSXv:NDVA) (US:NDVAF) is pleased to provide an update on the design of its extraction facility in London, Ontario.

As previously announced, Indiva is working with Lucid Lab Group to design, construct and commission an ethanol-based extraction operation at Indiva's facility in London, Ontario.  Indiva is pleased to report that the design is now complete, and the result is annual expected biomass capacity of some 70 tonnes and resulting distillate capacity of over 4 million grams.  This capacity represents  a multiple of what Indiva will initially require for internal needs. The capital cost of the extraction equipment is estimated at US$1.4 million, is fully funded, and provides ample capacity to produce the wide spectrum of derivative and edible products licensed from Bhang and DeepCell, as well as Indiva branded product, subject to receipt of applicable regulatory approvals. This extraction capacity also opens the door to the possibility of producing distillate for licensed third parties through partnerships or joint-ventures which could add a substantial revenue to stream to Indiva's business.

"Indiva's plan to perform extraction on site in order to complement third party extraction services is founded in our commitment to provide high quality oils, concentrates and edibles to our patients and clients when permitted under Canadian law. We are delighted with the work Lucid Lab Group has completed, and the tremendous excess extraction capacity opens the door to several options to grow our revenue base and lower our unit costs," said Niel Marotta, President and CEO of Indiva. "We will be ready to offer edible products once regulations allow LPs to do so, and this facility gives Indiva room to grow its business in London for years to come."
