The cash consideration will be used to build a scalable extraction facility at a location to be determined by the board of Veritas. 3 Carbon shall grant Veritas the exclusive licence to use and commercially exploit the intellectual property arising from any research conducted by 3 Carbon utilizing Veritas's funds from the initial $300,000 (U.S.) investment and associated share issuance.

The acquisition remains subject to certain conditions precedent, including receipt of applicable regulatory approvals and the approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange.

Dr. Lui Franciosi, chief executive officer, stated: "The addition of 3 Carbon adds tremendous value to Veritas with its proprietary technology.
