The Companies Plan to Jointly Submit a Psilocybin Clinical Trial Application  to Health Canada  

Vancouver, British Columbia, January 27, 2022 / Globe Newswire / – KetamineOne Capital  Limited (“Ketamine One” or the “Company”) (NEO: MEDI) (OTC: KONEF) (Frankfurt:  MY0), an evidence-based healthcare company focused on innovative clinical solutions, artificial  intelligence-powered digital therapeutics and contract research, is pleased to announce that its  wholly owned subsidiary, KGK Science Inc., (“KGK”), has formed a tactical partnership with  Nova Mentis Life Science Corp. (“Nova”) (CSE: NOVA) (FSE: HN3Q) (OTCQB: NMLSF) to  help develop Nova’s psychedelic psilocybin drug portfolio in Canada. Nova is a biotechnology  company and global leader in first-in-class psilocybin-based therapeutics and complementary  diagnostics for neuroinflammatory disorders. Both Companies plan to jointly submit a clinical trial  application (“CTA”) to Health Canada for a Phase 2A clinical study evaluating psilocybin  microdose therapy for fragile X syndrome.  

“I am delighted to work with Nova’s team to advance this novel initiative. Nova’s microdose  approach aims to address an unmet need that promises to have a significant impact on the lives of  families impacted by Fragile X Syndrome. KGK is proud to be able to contribute and is confident  our expertise will guide Nova to success through the Orphan drug pathway,” said Najla Guthrie,  President and CEO of KGK.  

“Nova and KGK have synergistic capabilities that will facilitate submission of the CTA to Health  Canada and achieve, in my opinion, no objection to this unprecedented clinical study,” stated  Marvin S. Hausman MD, Nova SAB Chairman. “In our discussions with KGK, we realized early  on that our two teams had the ability to navigate the entire lifecycle journey of our novel psilocybin  microdose treatment of Fragile X Syndrome from a Phase 2A clinical study to drug approval and  commercialization.”  

Nova’s research and clinical team initially identified unique opportunities in psychedelic drug  development and chose a classic drug development pathway involving careful planning and  execution of chemistry, manufacturing and preclinical proof of efficacy studies. The Company’s  successes to date include but are not limited to: 

 Nova is the first biotech company to achieve psilocybin orphan drug designation in both  the United States and European Union;
