About CVW CleanTech Inc.
CVW CleanTech Inc.
is a clean technology innovator working to develop sustainable technology
solutions. The Company has developed a suite of proprietary technologies called Creating Value
from Waste™ ("CVW™") that recover bitumen, solvents, critical minerals, and water from oil sands
froth treatment tailings while significantly reducing tailings pond emissions and enhancing tailings
management.
On an annual basis, an industry wide implementation of a CVW™ EcoMax development option could
be expected to:
Recover 13.2 million barrels of hydrocarbons (11.4 million barrels of bitumen and 1.8 million
barrels of solvent);
Produce 1.5 million tonnes per year of critical mineral concentrates in the form of titanium and
zircon;
Abate up to 5,000,000 tonnes of CO
2
equivalents, primarily methane;
Eliminate up to 30,000 tonnes of volatile organic compounds (VOCs - considered toxic
substances by Environment and Climate Change Canada);
Potentially eliminate tailings pond growth due to froth treatment operations, and
Generate annual revenues of
$2.7 billion
within the province of
Alberta
.
Diverting the froth treatment tailings stream to a CVW™ EcoMax operation could recover up to 90%
of bitumen and solvent that are currently lost into tailings ponds, avoid the associated fugitive
methane emissions, as well as capture valuable zircon and titanium mineral concentrates. This
patented and ready-to-deploy process would produce "Ready-to-Reclaim" tailings to meet the
Alberta Energy Regulator's Directive 85 standards which would provide a step change in tailings
management and allow for progressive remediation.
CVW CleanTech has invested over
$100 million
and over 15 years to advance the CVW™
technology to ready-to-deploy status. This technology has been supported by large scale integrated
piloting and progressive commercial engineering studies resulting in 20 active patents. The
development of the Company's technology has been supported by the Government of
Alberta
and
the Federal Government along with oil sands industry partners. Additional information on CVW
CleanTech and its proprietary technology can be found within the Company's Process and
Technology Overview which is accessible using the link below:

Disclosure regarding forward-looking information
This news release contains forward-looking statements and information within the meaning of
applicable Canadian securities laws (collectively, "forward-looking information") that reflect the
current expectations of management about the future results, performance, achievements,
prospects, or opportunities for CVW CleanTech.
Forward-looking statements are frequently, but not always, identified by words such as "expects",
"anticipates", "believes", "intends", "estimates", "potential", "possible" and similar expressions, or
statements that events, conditions or results "will", "may", "could" or "should" occur or be achieved.
The forward-looking statements may include statements regarding expected timelines and results
of deployment of
CVW™
technologies and its business plan, the anticipated adoption of
CVW™
technologies by industry participants and the timing for the same, estimated financial results from
the implementation and adoption of
CVW™
technologies, expected macroeconomic conditions for
the deployment of
CVW™
technologies, potential diversification opportunities and other future
opportunities, statements regarding the benefits and implications of the implementation of our
technologies
or other statements that are not statements of fact. Forward-looking statements are
statements about the future and are inherently uncertain, and actual achievements of the Company
may differ materially from those reflected in forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks,
uncertainties, and other factors. For the reasons set forth above, investors should not place undue
reliance on forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from the Company's expectations include: the ability to advance the technologies of the
Company on a timely basis or at all; reliance on estimates prepared by third parties; current
estimates and predictions being based on certain assumptions about the industry in which the
Company operates and macroeconomic conditions generally; uncertainties in the timing and
receipt of regulatory and exchange approvals; uncertainties involved in disputes and litigation;
fluctuations in interest rates, commodity prices, currency exchange rates, and other financial
conditions, and the resultant effect on viability of investments; changes in the availability, and cost,
of technical labour required for our business; price escalation and/ or inflationary pressures
affecting the cost of equipment and material required to commercialize our projects; the uncertainty
of estimates of capital and operating costs; the need to obtain additional financing and uncertainty
as to the availability and terms of future financing; the impact on the Company of increasing
inflation; and other risks and uncertainties disclosed in other information released by the Company
from time to time and filed with the appropriate regulatory agencies.
All forward looking statements are based on the Company's beliefs and assumptions which are
based on information available at the time these assumptions are made, and is necessarily based
upon a number of assumptions that, while considered reasonable by the Company, are inherently
subject to significant operational, business, economic and regulatory uncertainties and
contingencies. The Company has made the following assumptions in relation to the forward-
looking statements in this press release: the expected environmental and economic benefits to be
achieved from CVW™ technologies; the ability of the Company to successfully access various
government funding programs; reliance on economic estimations prepared and assumptions
made by third parties; the details of government funding programs and that such programs will be
implemented (and not change) as expected; that the Company will continue to be able to protect its
intellectual property and proprietary technologies; assumptions as to various market and
commercial opportunities for the Company and its technologies; and the ability of the Company to
continue to develop and commercialize its technologies. The forward-looking statements contained
herein are as of the date set out above and are subject to change after this date, and the Company
assumes no obligation to publicly update or revise the statements to reflect new events or
circumstances, except as may be required pursuant to applicable laws.
Although management believes that the expectations represented by such forward-looking
information or statements are reasonable, there is significant risk that the forward-looking
information or statements may not be achieved, and the underlying assumptions thereto will not
prove to be accurate. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and
expectations expressed or implied in any forward-looking information or statements, including the
underlying assumptions thereto, as a result of numerous risks, uncertainties and factors including:
failure to obtain regulatory approvals; the possibility that opportunities will arise that require more
cash than the Company has or can reasonably obtain; dependence on key personnel; dependence
on corporate collaborations; potential delays; uncertainties related to early stage of technology and
product development; uncertainties as to fluctuation of the stock market; uncertainties as to future
expense levels and the possibility of unanticipated costs or expenses or cost overruns; and other
risks and uncertainties which may not be described herein.
