CALGARY, AB, March 31, 2025 – Northstar Clean Technologies Inc. (TSXV: ROOF) (OTCQB: ROOOF) (“Northstar” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce the execution of a 15-year lease extension for its Delta, British Columbia location (the “Empower Delta Facility“), supporting the Company’s long-term growth strategy to establish a portfolio of asphalt shingle reprocessing facilities across North America.

This lease extension gives Northstar the option to retrofit the Empower Delta Facility, formerly home to its pilot facility, into a commercial-scale operation. The site currently holds all necessary regulatory approvals and permits for light industrial operations, offering a future expansion opportunity with reduced timelines and costs associated with permitting and site development. Pilot operations successfully derisked the technology and served as the engineering foundation for the Empower Calgary Facility.

“Our primary focus remains the successful commissioning and ramp-up of the Empower Calgary Facility, which represents our first full-scale commercial facility and is currently in its final commissioning phase,” said Aidan Mills, President & CEO. “The Delta lease extension adds flexibility to our portfolio, giving us the opportunity to retrofit the current facility and leverage the existing permitting and site in the future. It also complements our ongoing development plans, where our next priorities are the site development and permitting for our planned facilities in Hamilton, ON and the U.S. Mid-Atlantic region.”

“This lease is another step forward in our portfolio strategy, allowing us to create long-term shareholder value through strategic facility planning and development,” Mills added.
