ANORTECH ENTERS CARBON CAPTURE RESEARCH COLLABORATION WITH THE NATIONAL RESEARCH COUNCIL OF CANADA

Anortech Inc. has entered a new collaboration with the National Research Council of Canada for a one-year research project to develop next-generation alumina-based catalysts for efficient carbon dioxide capture, using Anortech's sustainable alumina.

This project builds on testing conducted in 2025, during which Anortech supplied multiple grades of its sustainable alumina to the NRC for use in catalysts designed to capture CO2 and convert it to methane through hydrogenation. Anortech's alumina samples were derived from its Gronne Bjerg anorthosite project in Greenland and produced in the Lakefield laboratory of SGS Canada Inc. Anortech is jointly financing the project and will supply all alumina samples required for the testwork.

Jim Cambon, president of Anortech, commented: "We are very excited to partner with Canada's research and innovation organization. This dynamic R&D project perfectly aligns with our mission to become the world's leading provider of sustainable anorthosite-based technologies. The NRC's expertise will help unlock new applications for our alumina -- turning innovative science into real climate solutions."

Project highlights

Over the next 12 months, the NRC team will develop and optimize amine-functionalized alumina (Al2O3) adsorbents designed for superior CO2 capture. Key focus areas include:

• Maximizing adsorption capacity, selectivity and long-term stability;
• Testing under real-world conditions (varying temperatures, concentrations, humidity and simulated flue gas);
• Evaluating kinetics, regenerability and cyclic performance;
• Identifying breakthrough formulations ready for practical, large-scale carbon capture deployment.

About Anortech Inc.

Anortech is pioneering the next generation of sustainable materials from anorthosite. The company owns 100 per cent of the Gronne Bjerg anorthosite project in Greenland -- strategically located just 80 kilometres northeast of Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, on open tidewater and adjacent to significant hydroelectric potential.

Anortech is advancing multiple product lines toward commercialization, including:

• Zero-waste smelter grade alumina and high-purity alumina;
• CO2-free refractory cement and advanced 3-D-printable cement;
• Lunar construction materials using anorthosite-based concrete.

The company filed a U.S. provisional patent in 2025 to protect its proprietary sustainable SGA and HPA process, and shipped 15 tonnes of Gronne Bjerg anorthosite to Ontario in preparation for pilot plant testing. Anortech is actively pursuing strategic industry partnerships to accelerate commercialization. Anortech has $1.6-million in working capital and expects to receive $1-million (U.S.) plus $750,000 (U.S.) in Greenland Mines' Nasdaq-listed shares once the transfer of the Sarfartoq rare earth element licence is completed.
