Calgary – TheNewswire - November 18, 2022 – Whitemud Resources Inc. (“Whitemud” or the “Company”) (TSXV:WMK) is pleased to provide the following marketing and operational update.

This year, 2022, has seen positive indications regarding potential demand for Whitemud’s Enviropozz metakaolin. Numerous cement and concrete companies took the opportunity to run field tests of Enviropozz in their concrete mixes and have had a firsthand opportunity to see the benefits from adding Enviropozz into their cement mixtures. This has resulted in a number of potential new customers considering using Enviropozz on a regular basis in their concrete mixtures commencing in 2023, provided Whitemud can assure a secure supply of the necessary quantity of product and the parties reach agreement on terms.  No firm commitments have been made yet, but Whitemud is encouraged by the increased interest in its product.

In addition to the merits of Enviropozz as a pozzolin and its environmentally lower carbon footprint than traditional Portland cements, Envirpozz provides concrete producers with a supply chain cost savings as well.

Whitemud and its marketing team are diligently working to secure offtake agreements to meet minimum volume hurdles to support a capital program for facility upgrades at the Wood Mountain plant and a potential restart of plant operations in Q2, 2023.  The upgrades and restart will be required in order for Whitemud to provide the necessary supply commitments to potential customers.  In addition to meeting the minimum volume hurdle, Whitemud will need to obtain the necessary financing for the capital program.

Our engineering and technical team has evaluated a series of plant upgrades which would significantly increase the recovery percentage of kaolin from the ore. This would lower the cost per ton of Enviropozz metakaolin produced to be a competitively priced cementitious cement additive.
