Company Announcements

CALGARY, AB , May 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Northstar Clean Technologies Inc. (TSXV: ROOF) (OTCQB: ROOOF) ("Northstar" or the "Company") is pleased to announce our financial and operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025.  Selected financial and operational information is set out below and should be read in conjunction with the Company's March 31, 2025 Condensed Interim Financial Statements and the related Management's Discussion and Analysis, which are available for review at www.sedarplus.ca or the Company's website at www.northstarcleantech.com.

First Quarter 2025 Financial and Operational Highlights

The first quarter of 2025 witnessed a number of significant developments and achievements, together with a few key funding achievements subsequent to the quarter-end, namely:

• Operational
  • The Company successfully completed construction efforts of the Empower Calgary Facility; and
  • Following the successful completion of construction, the Company began the important task of commissioning the Empower Calgary Facility. The Company's asphalt shingle reprocessing facilities are broadly broken into two main phases: (1) feedstock preparation and mechanical separation of aggregate, and (2) hydrocarbon treatment and processing. The Company successfully completed all commissioning efforts of the first phase and now continues to commission the second phase. Once those efforts are completed, the Empower Calgary Facility will be turned over to operations, currently scheduled for mid-year 2025.
    
    
• Plant Expansions - significant steps continued towards expansion efforts of the Company's business model, including:
  • Empower Hamilton Facility – the Company executed a letter of intent with YORK1 Environmental Waste Solutions Ltd. to supply up to 10,000 tonnes of waste roofing shingles with an understanding to increase supply volumes through time. Execution of supply agreements represents a critical step in establishing a working facility. This first supply agreement followed closely on the announcement in late 2024 of the Company signing a letter of intent with the Great Lakes Port Management Inc., a subsidiary of the Hamilton-Oshawa Port Authority, for a long-term lease for an industrial zoned property located in Hamilton, Ontario as the site for the Company's planned facility in southwestern Ontario;
  • US Expansion – the Company continues to expend time and energy in the selection of a suitable site for our inaugural reprocessing facility in the United States. As has been previously communicated by the Company, selection criteria have focused on areas that represent an operational fit with the Company's strategic financial partner, TAMKO Building Products Inc.; and
  • Empower Delta Facility – during the quarter, the Company successfully secured a fifteen-year lease at its existing Delta, British Columbia location. This paves the way to retro-fit the existing pilot facility at this location to a full-scale commercial facility. The site currently holds all necessary regulatory approvals and permits for light industrial operations, offering a future expansion opportunity with reduced timelines and costs associated with permitting and site development.
    
    
• Liquidity – commensurate with execution of the business plan, the Company successfully received proceeds under previously negotiated funding agreements, consisting of:
  • $3.9 million from Emissions Reduction Alberta, subsequent to the quarter-end, upon completion of Milestone 2, which includes among other items, all major processing units installed and electrified and substantial completion as defined in the Builder's Lien Act;
  • $617 thousand final draw subsequent to the quarter-end under the Business Development Bank$8.75 million non-revolving senior secured project loan facility; and
  • $248 thousand received during the quarter from the exercise of existing stock options and warrants. Year-to-date, the Company has received $392 thousand from the exercise of stock options and warrants. Outstanding common shares as of May 29, 2025 totaled 137,051,985.
