MONTREAL, April 21, 2020 — PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (http://pyrogenesis.com) (TSX-V: PYR) (OTCQB: PYRNF) (FRA: 8PY), a high-tech company, (the “Company”, the “Corporation†or “PyroGenesis”) that designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes plasma atomized metal powder, plasma waste-to-energy systems and plasma torch systems, is pleased to announce today that, further to its press release dated April 1st, 2020, it has received an additional US$325K (approx. CA $457K) under the exclusive agreement (the “Agreementâ€) with a US based tunneling company (the “Clientâ€). To date, the Company has received US $725K (over CA $1M) in total. The Client’s name will remain anonymous for confidentiality and competitive reasons.
“This is an ideal contract, given the current situation, where all the engineering work can be done remotely,†said Mr. Peter Pascali, CEO of PyroGenesis Canada Inc. “This relationship is timely, given the current environment where investors are more focused on multiple secure revenue streams. It is important to note that this relationship was not born out of the current crisis and, as such, is expected to continue well after the pandemic is behind us.â€
Under this Agreement, PyroGenesis will not only develop and supply high-powered plasma torches, specifically designed for tunneling applications, but will also be intimately involved in all aspects of design and development for the entire project. Upon success, the Client is committed to purchase exclusively, and PyroGenesis is committed to exclusively supplying, plasma torches and auxiliary equipment for these applications. The scope of work is now comprised of several phases, each being defined by the results from the former.
PyroGenesis’ high-powered plasma torch will be used to replace traditional tunneling methods. An important benefit in using plasma-based tools versus traditional methods, is its potential to drill through all geologies with greater flexibility in size diameter, while at the same time being more economical, efficient and environmentally friendly.
“Once again, this Agreement underscores our plasma torch expertise, and we are pleased to be applying it to a very unique and significant opportunity,†said Mr. Alex Pascali, Business Development Manager of PyroGenesis. “This highlights the fact that we not only sell plasma torches, but also provide the expertise required to develop cutting edge plasma-based applications. The Company continues to increase revenues and reduce risk by diversifying its customer base with a standard product offering. This is just one of many exciting developments at PyroGenesis these days.â€
