International Goldfields Limited ("IGS" or the "Company") (ASX: IGS) is pleased to present its Quarterly Activities Report and Appendix 5B for the period ending 30 June
2015.
The quarter has been a transitional period for the Company with a significant shift in priority from developing resources assets to investing in pharmaceutical solutions.
International Goldfields entered into a binding Heads of Agreement (HOA) to acquire an 85% stake in Winter Garden Biosciences ("Winter Garden" or "WG"). The HOA is subject to shareholder approval and the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions precedent.
About Winter Garden Biosciences
WG is an emerging agriculture bioscience and biotechnology company based in Uruguay, with the aim of becoming one of the first companies in the world to legally harvest and produce non-synthetic cannabis products for the mass-market.
Uruguay is the first nation in the world to federally legalise research and development, as well as cultivation, sale and consumption of non-synthetic cannabinoids. Winter Garden, which possesses a plantation site, corporate headquarters and a laboratory in Uruguay is able to take advantage of these new laws and regulations to become one of the first companies in the world to legally develop cannabis products.
Federal Uruguayan laws not only facilitate the legal use and research of cannabis, but also provision the use of cannabinoids containing a higher percentage of Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is the psychoactive substance found within cannabis. Globally, growth and research on cannabis with a THC content of more than
.03% is prohibited. This has altered every aspect of the plant to the point that it offers almost no useful research benefits. As a result, only synthetic plants can be utilised for research and these are ineffective and inadequate for both research as well as pharma-grade medical applications.
Winter Garden is seeking to grow, research and produce cannabis plants containing a THC content of approximately 1%.The higher THC content will assist Winter Garden to develop products that will provide clinical relief for a variety of neurological ailments. The ailments which could be improved by medicinal cannabis products are wide- ranging, from depression and post-traumatic stress disorder to anti-inflammation and neuropathic pain.

Winter Garden founder Julian Strauss said: "This quarter has been momentous for Winter Garden. We have been able to quickly advance our business since the legalisation of cannabis in Uruguay and the agreement with International Goldfields further strengthens our business case. We will be able to draw attention to this under- researched and under-invested industry while gaining exposure to global capital markets," he said.
Summ ary of Winte r Gar d en's activi ties dur ing the r epor ting pe ri od
Over the quarter, Winter Garden has sought to further capitalise on its first-mover advantage, rapidly securing licenses, research agreements and expertise to further position itself as one of the earliest companies operating in Uruguay to develop high-quality cannabis products.
Funding received through the proposed acquisition with IGS has fast-tracked WG's ability to purchase and harvest non-synthesized heirloom hemp and cannabis varieties. Heirloom varieties to produce high-potency extractions and are suitable for the production of medical-grade cannabis products. Winter Garden has also been able to develop a plot of land that is suitable for the plantation of cannabis plants in two harvests per year.
Winter Garden Bioscience has signed an exclusive, multi-year, renewable research agreement with the Science
Faculty of the National University of Uruguay (Universidad de la Republica).
