Northstar Clean Technologies Inc. announced that it has recently placed orders for three major pieces of equipment identified as long-lead items for its planned asphalt shingle reprocessing facility in Calgary, Alberta (the "Empower Calgary Facility"). The items will be manufactured off-site and will be delivered to Calgary as skid-mounted pieces of equipment. The total value of the orders placed is approximately CAD 3.3 million and represents a significant portion of the major equipment spend for the Empower Calgary Facility.

The ordered items have been identified as the longest lead delivery items, and as such placing the orders now is expected to help ensure project timelines are maintained. These three items have been part of the overall vendor engagement and pilot plant testing assessment process carried out at the Company's pilot facility in Delta, British Columbia over the past 18 months. The remaining equipment will be included as part of the standard procurement process, following the detailed engineering design phase of the project for the Em power Calgary Facility.
