Verisante Technology, Inc. Announces Milestone Completion of Core(TM) Commercial Prototype for the Detection of Lung Cancer

Completes Recertification of ISO Certificate of Quality Management System for Medical Device Manufacturing

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - May 13, 2014) - Verisante Technology, Inc. (TSX-VENTURE:VRS)(OTCQX:VRSEF) (the "Company" or "Verisante"), a leader in cancer detection technology, announced today that the Company has completed the development of the Core™ Series commercial prototype to aid in the detection of lung cancer.

The Core™ system, which is based on the same platform technology as Verisante's award winning Aura™ device for the detection of skin cancer, will be used to prepare for the Company's application for Regulatory Approval in Canada, Europe, USA and China for the lung cancer indication.

A clinical study on lung cancer using the Core™ technology has been completed and the Investigators of the study are currently preparing a paper for publication. Previously published results showed that the device can measure the difference between low grade and high grade dysplasia, as well as carcinoma in situ.

Core™, for lung cancer detection, employs an endoscopic probe that can be used in bronchoscopy procedures to help analyze lesions for malignancy. A bronchoscopy is normally performed by a doctor under local anaesthetic to look for abnormal tissue and to take tissue samples, (or biopsies) if necessary. The Core™ probe enters through the biopsy channel of the bronchoscope and measures the Raman spectra of the abnormal tissue, providing immediate feedback of the results of the spectral measurement to the doctor. The probe is an endoscopic accessory that will fit with all major brands of endoscopes. It will also be equipped with a consumable sheath to be discarded after each procedure.

In the United States, more than 500,000 bronchoscopies are performed annually to diagnose lung disease, and the American Cancer Society estimates the number of new cases of lung cancer diagnosed will be more than 224,000 in 2014.

In addition to the USA, Verisante anticipates one of the other major markets for Core™ for lung cancer will be China, where bronchoscopies are already widely performed. According to the World Health Organization's World Cancer Report 2014, 1.59 million people died from lung cancer globally in 2012, and China, with approximately 20 percent of the world's population, accounted for more than one third of those deaths.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer related deaths worldwide in both men and women, and has recently surpassed heart disease as the leading cause of smoking-related mortality. More people die from lung cancer than breast cancer, colorectal cancer and prostate cancer combined.

Verisante also has exclusive worldwide rights to the Core™ technology for the detection of gastro-intestinal, colorectal and cervical cancers by utilizing the same hardware with different diagnostic algorithms. In addition, the Company has an option to license the exclusive rights for nasopharyngeal cancer. Clinical studies are currently underway for nasopharyngeal and colon cancers, with more studies in the planning stages.

"Seeing the Core™ device for lung cancer detection come to life is a major milestone for Verisante. We are now one step closer to getting this product in front of patients around the world." said Thomas Braun, President & CEO. "The purpose of the Core™ is to help save lives and save money for the health care system through assisting in the early detection of cancers and pre-cancers."
