Canadian Premium Sand Inc. Engages Green City Glass as Client Technical Representative for its Solar Glass Manufacturing Facility

After concluding an in-depth selection process, the Company has retained Green City Glass to assist the Company in its selection of the key service providers needed to construct the Company's solar glass manufacturing facility. Green City Glass will also provide oversight in vendor selection, plant design construction management, commissioning, staffing and preparation for efficient and profitable plant operations.

Green City Glass is a Pennsylvania-based technical and business consulting firm with proven expertise in solar glass manufacturing technology and operational processes. The principals of Green City Glass have over 80 years of glass manufacturing experience, with each having deep expertise in facility design, construction, operations and maintenance.

The Company and Green City Glass will initially be focused on the selection of the optimal engineering, procurement and construction contractor (the "EPC Contractor") for the Project. Working with the EPC Contractor, the Company will complete detailed engineering and design for the Project, including a final determination of output volumes, production line configuration, forecast revenue and capital cost estimates. This process will be additive to the Company's preliminary FEED study that was conducted by cm.project.ing GmbH, an independent glass industry consultant, which contemplated the development and operation of a 550 tonne per day patterned solar glass facility with a Class 4 cost estimate.

"We are pleased to have the professionals at Green City Glass acting as our technical representative as we proceed to the detailed engineering phase of our solar glass facility which will be the first of its kind in North America," stated Glenn Leroux, President and CEO of CPS. "Our planned activities over the coming months will contribute to a final investment decision for a de-risked, shovel-ready and capitalized project that is expected to generate significant shareholder value."

The Company continues to advance, with the assistance of its co-financial advisors (Fort Capital Partners and Peters & Co. Limited), its process of raising external capital to fund the development and construction of the Project. As the preliminary preparation work for this process continues to proceed, no definitive timelines or action with respect to this process have been determined at this time. The Company looks forward to reporting on material developments as the Project advances.
