/CNW/ - Earthworks Industries Inc. (the "Company") is pleased
to provide an update as it advances its strategic evolution into the critical minerals recycling and
recovery sector. Further to its previously announced acquisition of intellectual property from
Wokaura Art & Innovations inc. in a news release dated February 13, 2026, the Company confirms
that the transaction has been submitted for review by the TSX Venture Exchange.
In alignment with its evolving business strategy, the Company has initiated a corporate transition to
support operational execution of the next phase of growth. These changes are intended to align the
Company with the appropriate organization to execute on its new growth strategy within the critical
minerals recycling and recovery sector.
The Company has begun preliminary review of potential locations for the deployment of its initial
recovery systems. Current activities include reviewing potential sites within target regions for initial
system deployment, engaging with the Company's stakeholders and industry participants across
recycling and materials handling sectors, and potential acquisitions or joint venture opportunities that
may complement the Company's model.
Our approach is centered on scalable, modular systems that can be deployed efficiently and
expanded over time. Initial discussions to date have indicated a strong level of alignment that this
strategic direction represents a timely and relevant opportunity for the Company.
Earthworks has an established foundation in environmentally responsible waste handling. The
integration of the Wokaura system represents an expansion of this expertise into the critical minerals
recycling and recovery sector. The platform is focused on recovering valuable critical metals from
existing material streams, supporting the development of domestic and regional supply chains,
advancing environmentally responsible processing solutions and building scalable recovery
infrastructure.
Global demand for critical minerals to continues to accelerate, driven by electrification, advanced
manufacturing, defense technologies, and the buildout of energy infrastructure. Western economies
are facing increasing pressure to secure stable, domestic, and environmentally responsible sources
of these materials. These supply chains are further constrained by long domestic development
timelines and permitting complexity for new primary projects.
David Atkinson, CEO of Earthworks, commented, "We are taking deliberate steps to position
Earthworks for its next phase of growth. Alongside our operational transition, we have begun early-
stage work around potential deployment and industry engagement. We believe this direction builds
on our existing strengths while opening the door to new opportunities in critical mineral recovery,
where demand for timely, responsible, and scalable solutions continue to grow."
