VANCOUVER, British Columbia – September 1, 2021 – Northstar Clean Technologies Inc. (TSXV: ROOF) (“Northstar” or the “Company”) announces that the planned transition, which was previously announced on July 13, 2021, of Mr. Aidan Mills to full-time Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of the Company has now been completed following the resignation of Neil Currie, Northstar’s former CEO. Mr. Currie will continue serve on the Company’s Board of Directors.
Aidan Mills, Northstar’s CEO, stated, “I am excited about becoming the new full-time CEO of Northstar, a leading-edge clean technology company. I am looking forward to now focusing 100% of my efforts on the Company with the long-term goal of fulfilling our mission in becoming a leading asphalt shingle material recovery provider in North America. Northstar has tremendous opportunity as a clean technology company that focuses on recovering and repurposing more than 99% of asphalt shingles. Our clean technology solution is expected to have a significant environmental impact by reducing landfill usage, reducing the CO2 impact of asphalt, fiber and aggregate sand production, and contributing to the "circular economy". As the Company continues to expand and evolve, I look forward to creating change by stopping single-use asphalt shingles from entering landfills in order to combat the world’s growing climate change crisis. It is time to make a difference. On behalf of the Company, I would like to thank Mr. Currie for his endless support during this transition and look forward to working with him as a director of the Company.”

Neil Currie, Northstar’s former CEO and current Director, stated “After an extensive executive search and numerous interviews with highly experienced candidates, we are thrilled to have finally brought on Aidan full-time in his new role as Chief Executive Officer of Northstar. Aidan is a seasoned industry professional, initially trained as an engineer and later gathered extensive commercial and operational experience. With 30 years of experience and over two decades with several notable internationally renowned global corporations, Aidan’s technical know-how will be invaluable in commercializing and scaling the Bitumen Separation and Extraction Technology (“BEST”) for Northstar at our Empower Facility. As we near steady state commercial production at the Empower Facility, Aidan is sufficiently qualified to lead our expansion across Canada. This is an unsaturated market available for Northstar and I am confident Aidan is the right leader for the Company as we transition from the start-up phase through the commercialization phase and into the expansion phase. I am grateful for all of the support during my time as CEO of Northstar and look forward to contributing to the Northstar team as a director going forward.”
