Re:       Registration Statement on Form S-8

Ladies and Gentlemen:

You have requested our opinion with respect to certain matters in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), by Zivo Bioscience, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), by means of a registration statement on Form S-8 (as it may be amended and supplemented, the “Registration Statement”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), of 1,470,983 shares (the “Incentive Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.001 per share of the Company, that will be issued pursuant to the Zivo Bioscience, Inc., 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).

In connection with this opinion, we have examined and relied upon (i) the Registration Statement, (ii) the Plan and (iii) the Company’s articles of incorporation and bylaws, each as amended and currently in effect, and the originals or copies certified to our satisfaction of such other documents, records, certificates, memoranda and other instruments as in our judgment are necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinion expressed below.  We have examined originals or copies of such other corporate records, certificates of corporate officers and public officials and other agreements and documents as we have deemed necessary or advisable for purposes of this opinion letter.  We have relied upon the certificates of all public officials and corporate officers with respect to the accuracy of all factual matters contained therein.  With respect to the Incentive Shares, we have assumed that at the time of issuance, the Company has sufficient authorized, but unissued shares available to allow for such issuance.

On the basis of the foregoing, and in reliance thereon, we are of the opinion that when Incentive Shares are issued pursuant to the Plan or pursuant to stock options or other instruments that have been issued pursuant to the Plan, such Incentive Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
