FIRST TELLURIUM SUBSIDIARY PYRODELTA ENERGY GAINS ADDITIONAL INDUSTRY SPOTLIGHT

First Tellurium Corp.'s majority-owned subsidiary, PyroDelta Energy Corp., has been featured in a new Metal Tech News article highlighting the importance of tellurium in technology and energy systems, with specific focus on PyroDelta's tellurium-based innovations.

The article, "Extracting Clean Energy from Copper Slime," published Aug. 24, 2026, can be viewed on-line.

PyroDelta has developed tellurium-enhanced thermoelectric generators designed to convert waste heat from AI (artificial intelligence) data centres into clean electricity, helping reduce both energy consumption and cooling demands. While the article focuses on data centres, the technology has far broader applications across transportation, industrial processes, factories and other settings where significant waste heat is generated.

"We're pleased to see Metal Tech News spotlight how PyroDelta's tellurium-based thermoelectric technology can turn the massive waste heat from data centres into a practical source of clean power," said First Tellurium president and chief executive officer Tyrone Docherty.

First Tellurium also reports that it has extended its engagement with Atlas Digital AI Ltd. of Hong Kong for an additional one-month period beyond the original six-month contract effective April 17, 2026, as documented in the news release. Atlas Digital provides digital media, brand awareness, social media management, content creation and distribution services, and is an arm's-length party to the company. Under the extension, Atlas Digital will continue delivering targeted content distribution across social media platforms and channels, along with content creation such as ad copy, written materials, video and advertising assets to further enhance corporate awareness. The company will pay Atlas Digital a cash fee of $12,500 (U.S.) for the one-month extension. Atlas Digital does not currently own any shares of the company.
