CALGARY, ALBERTA, SEPTEMBER 19, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Canadian Premium Sand Company (“CPS” or “Company) (TSXV: CPS) announces that it has joined an international engineering, procurement and construction consortium (“EPC”) Company to complete the detailed design and pre-construction engineering associated with a patterned solar glass manufacturing facility under development in Selkirk, Manitoba.

The EPC Consortium consists of five complementary professional services companies.

• Henry F. Teichmann, Inc. (“HFT) – A specialist US engineering contractor with over 75 years of expertise in providing reliable turnkey glass manufacturing facilities. HFT has offices in the UK, China, the Philippines, Singapore and St. We have designed and built over 300 production lines in 47 countries for some of the industry’s most respected companies.
• Fives Group (“Fives) – French Industrial Engineering Group, operating in about 30 countries, its divisions include glass melting, roll pattern machinery and energy efficient technologies in annealing rails dedicated to the production of solar glass. Includes departments focused on the design and installation of Fives has designed and installed the technology in more than 20 of his solar glass projects over the past decade.
• Bottero SpA (“Bottero”) – Italian manufacturer of highly automated machines for glass production and cold-end processing lines. Often partnered with Fives and HFT, Bottero has extensive experience in designing, supplying and installing patterned solar glass installations in over 50 facilities since its inception.

Combined expertise of EPC consortium to provide integrated design and process configurations utilizing the most capital efficient technology to meet current and future solar glass specifications received by the company from its growing customer base To do. Due to the strong interest expressed so far by our customers, we are investigating opportunities to increase Phase 1 solar glass production beyond what was envisioned in his FEED study. In addition to better serving noted customer demand, increased production will help improve the economics of an already attractive project.

Glenn Leroux, president and CEO of the company, said: “As we move the development of solar glass manufacturing projects to shovel-ready status, this expert group will continue to develop comprehensive designs to meet our goal of producing the highest quality, low-carbon solar glass available. In addition, a design process focused on value engineering for operational and capital cost efficiencies will enable CPS to maximize the economics of an already strong project.”

A key outcome of the pre-construction phase is a capital cost estimate with +/- 5% certainty, thereby anticipating reaching shovel-ready status in Q1 2023. Reduce project risk.

In addition to this, CPS has other development initiatives that contribute to the shovel-ready state, such as permits, silica sand resource upgrades and testing, and ongoing negotiations to convert formal expressions of interest into commercial offtake contracts. continue to promote
