Gen III Oil Corp. – Bowden Environmental Permit Secured
28 Noviembre 2019 - 7:30AM
Gen III Oil Corp. (“
Gen III” or the
“
Company”) (TSX-V: GIII) (OTCQX: ISRJF) is pleased
to announce the following update:
Gen III secured approval (No.
421401-00-00) from Alberta Environment and Parks (“AEP”) for the
construction, operation and reclamation of the Bowden ReGen
chemical manufacturing plant and waste management facility. The
permit is effective November 26, 2019.
The initial application was made to AEP for an
Environmental and Enhancement Act Industrial Approval for the
Bowden Facility in July 2018, followed by a successful public
notification period in June 2019.
Senior management is grateful to both the AEP
team overseeing Gen III’s application and for the support of its
consultants, including Tetra Tech and Stantec Environmental,
without which this would not have become a reality.
Gordon Driedger, President and COO added, “I am
extremely pleased with the outcome of the environmental permitting
process. It has been a long, comprehensive exercise but a
significant milestone has been achieved and this further de-risks
the Bowden project. The work of Gen III’s team members to source,
analyze, collate and deliver copious amounts of technical
information in support of the permitting process has been first
class and I am grateful for their efforts.”
The receipt of the Bowden facility environmental
permit is a significant milestone for Gen III and its shareholders
and it continues the Company’s delivery of numerous de-risking
milestones, including:
- Re-confirming there are several private debt, private equity,
family offices and investment banks of significant scale and
stature under NDA with Gen III. Each is active in our data room and
simultaneous project level finance due diligence processes are
ongoing and are at varying stages of completion.
- Having signed or being actively in negotiations for
contracts/letters of intent for the supply of more than twice our
annual requirement of used motor oil feedstock.
- Securing a CDN$114.5 million fixed price for construction from
our EPC partner, PCL Industrial Management Inc.
- Achieving American Petroleum Institute (“API”) certification
and licensing for our Group III base oil 5W-20, 5W-30 and 10W-30
passenger car motor oil formulations. Each of which received the
performance designation of SN PLUS, highlighting their resource
conserving properties.
- Receiving a CDN$72 million senior debt facility term sheet for
>50% of our project funding requirement from Export Development
Canada and an alternate indicative debt term sheet for US$75
million from a US based private debt firm.
- The Company also confirms it is continuing to investigate
additional brownfield project sites; is in discussions with virgin
crude oil refineries and used motor oil re-refineries to conduct
joint-ventures, asset sales agreements; and technology licensing
opportunities. Further developments in any of these areas will be
announced if, as and when they become material.
- Gen III is in direct negotiations with members of the
Independent Lubricant Manufacturers’ Association (“ILMA”), which
include globally active petroleum companies, blenders and
compounders, to secure additional letters of interest for all our
base oils. Gen III previously signed a marketing offtake agreement
for 100% of our annual production with Elbow River Marketing Inc, a
subsidiary of Parkland Fuels.
About Gen III Oil
Corporation
Gen III is first and foremost a cleantech
company; building a green project that has compelling economics,
without relying on government subsidies. Gen III owns a portfolio
of patented technologies that enable used motor oil (“UMO”)
re-refineries to produce a higher value product mix of base oils
than traditional methods, including 55% Group III. The Company
currently holds 8 patents issued in North America, 2 patents issued
overseas and has 7 patent applications, patents pending or under
review in strategic countries/regions around the world. Gen III’s
strategy has been to focus its engineering design and build efforts
on brownfield projects and joint-ventures utilizing its
proprietary, modular processing technologies. The Company's systems
will also be used to materially improve existing re-refinery assets
acquired by Gen III. In addition, the Company will be able to
substantially enhance the performance of 3rd party re-refining
operations through the issuance of technology licenses. The
Company’s first full-scale facility is currently under development
in Bowden, Alberta, 100km north of Calgary, with targeted
production commencing 18 months after the requisite financing is
obtained (the “Project”). The Bowden facility is being designed to
process 2,800 bpd of used motor oil into a range of base stocks and
related petroleum products. For more information about the Company,
