About Renewable Geo Resources Ltd.

RGRL is a renewable energy company pursuing renewable resource-based energy projects in the transitional energy industry. Specifically, RGRL identifies lithium reservoirs that can be exploited at scale for both extracting economic quantities of lithium while generating geothermal energy in tandem. Geothermal facilities enable producers to utilize renewable sources of energy to extract lithium in a sustainable and more environmentally-friendly way than various conventional sources of energy.

RGRL is an Alberta corporation formed in 2021 which has since secured over 140 square miles of strategic geothermal leases and over 260 square miles of metallic mineral permits/licences from the Government of Alberta which have been tested for brine fluid temperatures exceeding 165°C with flow rates to support up to 384 MW of uninterruptible emission free renewable energy. It is currently actively pursuing projects in the Hinton and Robb areas of Alberta, Canada, and is also reviewing other opportunities in other geographic locations.

As RGRL is currently focused on initial exploration and development, it is in a pre-revenue stage of growth. In addition to the leases, permits and licenses described above, RGRL currently has a relatively minor positive working capital balance, with available cash on hand exceeding accrued liabilities consisting of professional fees related to the Transaction. It has no long-term liabilities.

About FluroTech (TSXV: TEST) (OTCQB: FLURF)

FluroTech is an Alberta corporation which was previously focused on commercializing fluorescence spectroscopy technology for testing in various industries. In May 2021, FluroTech expanded the functionality of its fluorescence spectroscopy technology to test for COVID-19, and in connection therewith, acquired a 100% interest in FluroTest Diagnostics Systems Ltd., a company focused on commercializing a Pandemic and Emerging Disease Defense Platform ("PEDDP"), initially targeting COVID-19.

FluroTech's goal for the PEDDP was that it could have the ability to test, thousands of samples per hour for COVID-19 at the point of collection of the nasal sample and provide fast, accurate, secure results. However, due to declining rates of COVID-19 and the establishment of testing protocols by various governmental and commercial bodies, the demand for FluroTech's PEDDP has significantly diminished making the further advancement of the PEDDP unprofitable for FluroTech.

As a result, FluroTech has decided to exit the pandemic and emerging disease industry immediately and halt any further expenditures on the development of the PEDDP. FluroTech is currently reviewing the strategic direction FluroTech will take.
