Vancouver, August 3, 2022 - International Zeolite Corp. (TSXV: IZ) (OTC: IZCFF) (FSE: ZEON) (the "Company"), an international producer and marketer of zeolite products that provide green solutions for key environmental issues, is pleased to announce finalization of its amended agreement with Progressive Planet Solutions Inc. (PLAN) to purchase a 50% interest in the Company's Bromley Creek zeolite deposit. The amended agreement creates a systematic payment schedule over the next 5 years.
"We are excited to expand our relationship with Progressive Planet," says Ray Paquette, CEO of International Zeolite.

This Agreement signifies PLAN's serious commitment to developing the zeolite market. It's a win-win agreement to address the ever-growing demand for natural zeolite."
The amended agreement outlines the payment details for the 50% interest for $725,000. $101,933.76 has already been paid to International Zeolite, with PLAN now holding a 7.03% interest in the Bromley Creek zeolite deposit, located in British Columbia.
