Premier Fortifies its Pathway to Full-Scale, High-Quality Graphene Production, with the Most Critical Raw Material/Component – High-Quality Hemp, at Low Cost

EL CENTRO, Calif., Oct. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Premier Graphene Inc. (OTC: BIEI), announced today that HGI Industrial Technologies, Premier Graphene’s Mexico affiliate and business partner, unveiled a joint venture with Santa Rosa Green Seeds. As one of only two companies to receive this coveted hemp license from the Mexican government, Santa Rosa Green Seeds is uniquely positioned to lead in Mexico’s emerging hemp market. This collaboration marks a significant step forward for both companies, leveraging their combined expertise to drive innovation in the hemp industry.

This strategic partnership represents a major step forward in advancing industrial hemp applications, particularly in support of Premier’s and HGI’s cutting-edge graphene projects and its global clientele. With Premier’s guidance, HGI has successfully secured a lease for approximately 8,000 hectares across seven northwestern Mexican states, including Jalisco, Sonora, Chihuahua, Nuevo León, Baja California, and Baja California Sur. Additionally, Premier is nearing the completion of a separate land acquisition, which includes 5,000 hectares in Sonora and two graphite mines, further enhancing its resource capacities. This will be critical for large-scale graphene production.

HGI Industrial Technologies is eager to bring the combined expertise and resources of both HGI and Premier to support Santa Rosa Green Seeds, alongside the renowned Imperial Valley Conservation Research Center (IVCRC) based in Brawley, California. Under the leadership of Don Brock, former U.S. Deputy Secretary of Agriculture from the Nixon administration, IVCRC offers extensive experience in agricultural innovation and research. This authoritative support is expected to play a key role in driving the success of the partnership and delivering outstanding results, particularly for graphene production.

“We are very eager to partner with HGI on this project. We are confident in the future of industrial hemp and its many potential uses, and strongly believe that this and other agriculture research can be a huge benefit to our communities in so many different ways,” commented Don Brock who was the U.S. Deputy Secretary of Agriculture in the Nixon administration.

Candace Nelson, IVCRC manager, agreed, “Having worked with Pedro Mendez [President of Premier Graphene, Inc.] previously as a senior research assistant, we believe this partnership can yield tremendous benefits on both sides of the border. It truly underscores the important role that agriculture research plays in so many aspects of industry worldwide.”

The joint venture will focus on planting selected industrial hemp strains specifically tailored for industrial applications, which will play a critical role in developing and supplying hemp-derived materials for Premier’s expanding graphene ventures. By harnessing Mexico’s favorable agricultural conditions and regulatory framework, the partnership is set to cultivate high-quality hemp that meets the growing demand for sustainable and innovative materials.

“This collaboration marks a groundbreaking step for HGI Industrial Technologies and Premier as we position ourselves at the forefront of the industrial hemp revolution,” said Pedro Mendez, President of HGI Industrial Technologies. “With the support of Premier, Santa Rosa Green Seeds and IVCRC, we are poised to make substantial contributions to the hemp industry on a Global scale, delivering environmentally friendly solutions that support our graphene initiatives and beyond.”

Pedro Mendez added, “As we embark on this new venture, Premier, HGI Industrial Technologies, Santa Rosa Green Seeds, and the Imperial Valley Conservation Research Center are excited about the future of industrial hemp and its potential to innovate within various sectors.”

The partnership is accompanied by national permits that uniquely authorize the cultivation and commercialization of hemp for industrial uses, underscoring HGI’s commitment to adhering to regulatory standards while fostering sustainable agricultural practices.
