commercialization of CVW
TM
technologies and is engaged in discussions with the major mining oil
sands operators. We are excited at the prospect of deploying our technology to drive meaningful
environmental change, while also recovering valuable commodities including critical minerals and
hydrocarbons currently lost in waste streams. We are also keenly reviewing other opportunities to
create shareholder value by utilizing our platform to further drive positive change with a goal of
creating a more sustainable world."

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",

statements regarding the results of deployment

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: 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. 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; 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; 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-

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
