The Company intends to address the increased global demand for sustainable premium cold-pressed and non-GMO products by expanding its existing cold-pressing capacity from 33,000 metric tons to 65,0000 metric tons initially per annum through its new multi-seed crushing plant at Emerald, Queensland with a projected cold-pressing capacity of 80,000 metric tons per annum allowing the Company to market itself as the largest cold-pressed player in the APAC region.

The Company’s Manufacturing Process

The Company’s cold pressing oil plant is currently the largest in Australia and has seed processing capacity of up to 40,000 metric tons per annum. “Cold pressing” refers to oils obtained through pressing and grinding oilseeds without the use of chemicals or solvents at temperatures that do not exceed 122°F (50°C) and produces high energy canola meal used in stock feed by most species of animals worldwide. As a result of cold pressing, oil and meal retain most of their nutritional values, antioxidants and healthy omega fatty acids (including omega 3 and omega 6) and, including Polyunsaturated fatty acids (linoleic acid) that lower serum cholesterol and .contain zinc and vitamins like vitamin A, C, E, D lecithin, potassium, bioflavonoids and phenols, which help in lowering cholesterol levels in the blood, protecting the liver from oxidative damage, and suppressing oxidative stress. 16Moreover, cold pressing methods is safer as they avoid the use of Solvents like hexane and petroleum ether that can have deleterious effects on the human body if the solvent plus oil mixture is not properly processed. Hexane can cause depression of the central nervous system and dermatitis. Cold-pressed oils do not utilize such harmful chemicals for production. 17
