ATRIUM TO PROVIDE RESEARCH COVERAGE ON BQE WATER

Atrium Research Corp. will be providing research coverage of BQE Water Inc.

Atrium is a Canadian company focused on providing institutional quality research for underfollowed North American public equities. One of Atrium's main areas of expertise is in the mining resource sector, which will enable Atrium to analyze the company's business in the broader context of environmental, social and governance mandates in the industry. Atrium's analysts, Nicholas Cortellucci and Ben Pirie, have identified the company as having significant growth potential with its current suite of proven technologies and service offerings. Atrium's research will be disseminated through Bloomberg, FactSet, Capital IQ, Reuters, as well as its own investor distribution lists. The initial comprehensive report on the company, including business operations, financial performance and competitive positioning, is expected to be distributed by the end of Q1 2024.

Peter Gleeson, executive chairman of BQE Water, commented: "The initiation of research coverage by Atrium is an important milestone for the company and a signal that our investor relations strategy is a priority. As a profitable company with a strong balance sheet and many long-term shareholders, including insiders, we have struggled to get the attention of conventional investment banks. We are thrilled that Atrium's research will help disseminate high-quality information about BQE Water to new investors and increase awareness about who we are and the important and successful work we've been doing in the mining industry."
