GeoNovus Further Strengthens Uruguayan Political and Technical Cannabinoid Expertise of Its Advisory Board

VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - September 30, 2014) - GEONOVUS CORP. (CNSX: GNM) ("GeoNovus" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the addition of five key Uruguayan personnel to its advisory board, and a working systems and operations partnership with agricultural operations company Urugrow. Joining Daniel Sztern and Enviro Consultores ("Enviro") are green tech innovator Thomas Sztern, nano systems engineer Daniel Carbo, government cannabis framework consultants Dr Alvaro Dasilva and Leonardo Costa, and ER physician and clinical trial consultant Dr Sacchi.

The new advisors bring significant strategic values to GeoNovus, including: full access to advanced laboratory facilities and personnel for cannabinoid sciences work, and intellectual property (IP) product development in Montevideo.

GeoNovus president Mike England states, "We have been fortunate to have the opportunity to assemble a 'Uruguayan Dream Team' for our goal of producing intellectual property patents for licensing globally through the development of cannabinoid and industrial hemp products. Because of its unrestricted research policies and the recent legalization of marijuana in Uruguay, we believe the country offers the best operating environment in the world for marijuana and hemp cultivation, distribution and research. Geonovus has secured the ability to hand pick from a wide range of cannabinoid and industrial hemp opportunities in Uruguay; working with North American-based partners that currently find their research and product development restricted by existing US and Canadian legislation."

The GeoNovus Uruguay Team now includes:

Daniel Sztern -- Former National Director of the Environment for the Uruguayan government, Environmental Manager of state-owned water and sanitation company OSE, environmental consultant for several municipalities, advisor for the solid domestic waste plan for Uruguay's Mayoral Congress, and advisor to the Minister of Economy on environmental and social issues.

Daniel Carbo -- Nano systems engineer focused on nano paramaters of fibers in celloulose-based polymer systems and binders. Will lead on standardization and protocols for research in trials and development of industrial hemp. Will create protocols for harvest, extraction, laboratory work and research specs, as well as lab build out, research overview, DNA, seed registration, and decort.

Thomas Sztern -- Founder of FUCO (Uruguayan Factory of Solar Collectors), a company focused in innovation and development of environmentally friendly technology, with a focus on domestic capital and labor. At FUCO, Sztern established a direct relationship with Uruguayan government entities in establishing new technologies, including staff specific training, opening of new markets, creation of associated media, supplier acquisition, machinery purchasing and ground-up innovation.
