VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 1, 2023 - Northstar Clean Technologies Inc. (TSXV: ROOF) (OTCQB: ROOOF) ("Northstar" or the "Company") is pleased to announce 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 C$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 Empower Calgary Facility.
Mr. Aidan Mills, President & CEO and Director of Northstar, stated, "With the Empower Calgary Facility fully funded, we have been able to move forward with several critical initiatives for advancement of the Empower Calgary Facility towards commencing construction. As recently announced, we have commenced detailed engineering design with our partners and we are now happy to announce that we have placed orders for three long-lead items that are integral to the project. These long-lead items are a meaningful portion of the capital cost of the Empower Calgary Facility, with Northstar spending approximately C$3.3 million in total on these items."
