PyroGenesis Receives $4.1 Million Payment Under Existing Drosrite™ Contract

MONTREAL, June 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (http://pyrogenesis.com) (TSX: PYR) (OTCQX: PYRGF) (FRA: 8PY), a high-tech company (the “Company” or “PyroGenesis”) that designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes advanced plasma processes and sustainable solutions which are geared to reduce greenhouse gases (GHG) and address environmental pollutants, is pleased to announce the receipt of a USD$3 million (CAD$4.1 million) payment of an outstanding receivable under the Company’s existing CAD$25+ million Drosrite™ contract.

“The payment announced today is made in accordance with a payment schedule that has been revised over time to better align to the pressures on the end-client’s operating cash flows created by increased business opportunities,” said Mr. P. Peter Pascali, President and CEO of PyroGenesis.

As previously announced, PyroGenesis contracted with Drosrite International LLC, which was in turn contracted by Radian Oil and Gas Services Company for an order of seven (7) Drosrite™ aluminum dross recovery systems. The first three systems were manufactured by the Company and delivered and are in full commercial operation for the Ma’aden aluminum plant in Ras Al-Khair Saudi Arabia, a joint venture corporation with Alcoa. The facility at Ras Al-Khair is known to be the largest and most efficient vertically integrated aluminum complex in the world and boasts one of the world’s largest smelters1.

The remaining four Drosrite™ systems under the contract have already been manufactured and are expected to be delivered to the end client’s operations in Saudi Arabia.

PyroGenesis’ involvement in developing Drosrite aluminum dross recovery systems is part of the Company’s three-tiered solution ecosystem that aligns with economic drivers that are key to global heavy industry. Dross recovery is part of the Company’s Commodity Security and Optimization tier, where the recovery of viable metals, and the optimization of production to increase output, helps to maximize raw materials and improve the availability of critical minerals.
