Clean TeQ Water Limited is the exclusive global licensee for the Soane Lab patented ATATM dewatering technology. The Company announce it has entered into a Distribution Agreement (the `Agreement') with Stitchwise Pty Ltd. for use in backfilling in South Africa. ATATM technology uses smart chemistry to agglomerate the fine particles with the coarser ones in the tailings, accelerating the dewatering process and improving the settleability and final consolidation of the tailings.

Such dewatered tailings can also be used for backfill of underground mining in which the physical characteristics of the tailings are critical to operability and safety in this application. Stitchwise is the market leader in the South African backfill market and manages 65% of the total volume of backfill placed at all underground mines in South Africa. Clean TeQ Water will partner with Stitchwise to introduce the ATATM technology into the underground backfill market in South Africa.

Stitchwise manufactures geotextile backfill bags at their factory in Carletonville and their subsidiary, Underground Technical Consultants Pty Ltd. operates as the consulting and servicing arm of the group, managing several underground operators and supervisors that ensure backfill placement is done safely.
