NexOptic Reports: SinoSpec Selected to Provide Consumer Interactive Design for Spectrum's Prototype and Assist in Procurement of Global License Agreements

VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - May 03, 2016) -  NexOptic Technology Corp. ("NexOptic") (TSX VENTURE: NXO) and Spectrum Optix Inc. of Calgary, Canada ("Spectrum" and together with NexOptic, the "Companies") are pleased to report that SinoSpec USA and SinoSpec Asia (collectively, "SinoSpec"), have been engaged to provide both external and internal user enhancement design features for Spectrum's forthcoming imaging (telescope) proof of concept Prototype (the "Prototype"). Additionally, SinoSpec has been engaged to assist in securing potential global license agreements for Spectrum's patent pending Blade Optics™ technology.

Consumer Interactive Design

SinoSpec is applying its expertise on the Prototype's outer casing to enhance the design of the device from a consumer interactivity perspective. Additionally, SinoSpec will be assisting with the implementation of other experience enhancement features.

Licensing

As part of its engagement, SinoSpec will assist the Companies in identifying and securing potential global license agreements for Spectrum's Blade Optics™ technology. The Company's existing strategy is to focus all initial licensing efforts on the consumer telescope, scope and binocular markets, which are most closely associated with the Prototype. The Companies believe that there are many other potential verticals for the technology, but these initial markets are most aligned with the Prototype and development of the technology to date. Additional potential verticals continue to be analyzed and explored by the Companies. The Companies expect that the Prototype will demonstrate to leading firms in the imaging industry clear cases for the applicability and marketability of Spectrum's patent-pending Blade Optics™ lens technology.

SinoSpec is a multifaceted international corporation which, in addition to overseeing large scale manufacturing, provides its expertise on sophisticated imaging project designs, including product enhancements with the end user in mind. SinoSpec's Founder and CEO, Joe Ganahl, is Founder and former President of Intova Camera.
