VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA–(Marketwired – Sept. 16, 2016) – SOLARVEST BIOENERGY INC. (TSX VENTURE:SVS) (“Solarvest” or the “Company”). Further to Solarvest’s news releases on May 9, 2016 and August 18, 2016 with respect to its intention to complete a non-brokered $1,500,000 debenture and unit financing (the “Private Placement”), the Company announces that it has been unable to close the Private Placement as the subscriber has been unable to complete its subscriptions.
The Company remains active in pursuing financing to be used to commercialize the launch of its new organic Omega-3 product. Solarvest’s algae-based process produces Omega-3 fatty acid products in a clean, controlled, vegan and certified organic culture system that avoids the environmental pollutants and toxins present in the world’s oceans. The product reduces pressure on ocean fisheries that currently supply the bulk of the nutraceutical and food enhancement Omega-3 market with a sustainable and manageable supply process. The product’s premium differentiation is based on this improved quality and chemical free processing.
