Forward-Looking Statements (FLS) Notice

This page contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Canadian securities laws (NI 51-102). These include projections regarding unit economics, gross margins, capital requirements, and market expansion. Such statements are based on TRL 4 bench-scale data and management's current expectations, which are subject to significant technical, regulatory, and market risks. Actual results—including pilot-scale validation and carbon credit yields—may differ materially.

$50 Billion

Global Nutrient Leak

Annual economic value of unrecovered Nitrogen and Phosphorus lost to waterways.

20%

Global Methane Emissions

Percentage of human-driven methane originating strictly from organic waste and landfills.

Ontario Organics Ban

Regulatory mandate forcing municipalities to achieve 50-70% waste reduction & resource recovery.

35-50%

2. Unit Economics (Per-Tonne Baseline)

*Illustrative / pro-forma — TRL 4 bench-data extrapolated to 10,000 tpa pilot.

Est. Tipping Fee Revenue $85 - $120 / Tonne
NPK Asset Yield Revenue +$150 - $200 / Tonne Output
Carbon Credit Revenue (Verra VCS) +$25 - $40 / MT CO2e
Target Blended Gross Margin 62% - 68%

Substantiation Methodology (Bill C-59): Carbon credit yield projections are currently modeled strictly on established IPCC guidelines for methane avoidance (diverting organics from anaerobic landfill decomposition). These models are subject to independent lifecycle analysis (LCA) and formal issuance under Verra VCS or ISO 14064-2 protocols during the TRL 7 pilot verification phase.

*Pending pilot validation and successful definitive agreements.

  • Tier-1 Food Processors (Ontario)

    Status: Feasibility study for different food processors seeking to generate high NPK liquid fertilizer from different organic wastes streams.

  • Ontario Municipalities

    Status: Active seeking a 2 mid-sized regional utilities regarding nutrients recovery and plants upgrads.

  • GCC Ag-Tech Operator (Qatar)

    Status: Preliminary technical briefings initiated for arid-climate soil remediation and Struvite recovery integration.

Regulatory Pathway

  • OBPS: Federal Output-Based Pricing System compliance tracking for carbon monetization.
  • ECA: Environmental Compliance Approvals mapped for Ontario pilot operations.
  • OFOWPS: Positioned as a compliant diversion alternative under Ontario's organics ban.

Intellectual Property

Advancing through Intellectual Property Ontario (IPON) framework.

  • [PENDING] App No: 64/037,940 (Terra BPC Thermochemical Process)
  • [PENDING] App No: 64/037,013 (VASCGBC-M Composite Material)
  • [PENDING] App No: 64/038,958 (Magnetic Recovery and Regeneration (MRR) System )
  • [PENDING] App No: 64/059,557 (Methods of Producing Chelated Multi-Mineral (CMMS) Solutions )
  • *3 additional provisional patents in drafting phase.

ESG Framework Mapping

  • SASB (Waste Management): Metrics tracking for GHG emissions (RT-WM-110a.1) and Recycling/Resource Recovery (RT-WM-420a.2).
  • IRIS+ (GIIN): Aligning with "Pollution Prevention" and "Sustainable Water Management" core metric sets.

Disclosed Risk Factors

  • Technical Scale-Up: Transitioning from TRL 4 (Bench) to continuous-flow TRL 7 entails engineering risk regarding heat-exchange efficiency.
  • Market/Commodity: NPK bio-ceramic output revenue is subject to macroeconomic fertilizer price fluctuations.
  • Regulatory: Changes to the federal OBPS or provincial carbon markets could impact the timing of carbon credit monetization.

6. Diligence FAQ

1. What is the defensibility of the VASCGBC-M media against existing MBBR plastics?

Our bio-ceramic provides up to 3x the active surface area of plastic MBBRs and actively binds nutrients via Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC). It cannot be replicated by standard injection-molded plastics.

2. Who owns the IP?

All provisional patents, trademarks, and trade secrets are wholly owned by Bio Terrava Inc. (the corporate entity), unencumbered by outside universities or prior employers.

3. What is the specific validation role of McMaster University?

We are in active discussions with Dr. Gregor to establish an independent, third-party academic testing framework to validate the mass-balance and pathogen-destruction efficacy of the Terra BPC bench models.

4. Are you pursuing non-dilutive matching funds?

Yes. We are aligning our pilot CapEx deployment to trigger matching thresholds for the NRC-IRAP Clean Technology program and specific provincial innovation grants to minimize equity dilution.

5. What is the anticipated exit strategy?

Strategic acquisition by a Tier-1 global water utility operator (e.g., Veolia, Suez) or major agricultural chemical conglomerate seeking proprietary closed-loop nutrient recovery assets.
