AnorTech's Innovations in Sustainable Cement Technology

Groundbreaking Advancements by AnorTech in Cement Sustainability

Vancouver, BC – AnorTech Inc. (TSX Venture Exchange ANOR; OTC ANORF) has made significant strides in its research and development program aimed at creating innovative sustainable cement products using anorthosite, which is sourced from their Gronne Bjerg Project in Greenland.

Successful Outcomes of R&D Program

This R&D initiative, conducted at the Danish Technological Institute (DTI) in Copenhagen, prioritized three promising product lines that have the potential to revolutionize the cement industry:

New Refractory Cement Developments

• Ultra-low CO₂ refractory cement.
• Advanced 3D printable anorthosite cement-based mortars.
• Innovative low CO₂ concrete for specialized applications.

DTI utilized 100% anorthosite of various sizes, mixing it with phosphoric acid at different concentrations to develop materials tested for their performance capabilities. This process diverges significantly from traditional Ordinary Portland Cement which typically results in around 0.9 tonnes of CO₂ emissions for every tonne produced. AnorTech’s approach stands to eliminate 90% of these harmful emissions.

Insights from Refractory Cement Testing

• Testing involved casting anorthosite mortar prisms enduring multiple heating cycles at 1,200 °C for five-hour durations, maintaining structural integrity.
• Post-treatment strength evaluations revealed that compressive strength was either sustained or slightly improved, measuring over 25.0 MPa after thermal cycles.
• For long-term performance analysis, two large slabs (10cm thick) will undergo outdoor weathering to monitor changes in strength and microstructure.

Current projections indicate that the global refractory cement market, valued at USD $22.8 billion in 2023, is set to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7%, potentially reaching USD $37.7 billion by 2034.

3D Printing of Anorthosite-based Cement

• Over 20 formulations were trialed to optimize for printability and structural integrity.
• Incorporating viscosity-modifying admixtures improved the print quality significantly.
• The 3D printing trials were successful, leading to multiple structures being printed and validating the proof of concept.

Jim Cambon, President of AnorTech, expressed optimism: "Our commitment to developing sustainable anorthosite-based technologies is yielding functional results with potential for high-value applications. We see great prospects in the refractory cement market and are making strides toward product certification. This initiative complements our zero-waste smelter-grade alumina product offering.”

Exciting Future Prospects

In addition to its contributions to earthly construction, AnorTech has expressed support for lunar exploration efforts by supplying anorthosite as a lunar simulant. The successful trials in 3D printing open up exciting possibilities for extraterrestrial construction utilizing materials from Lunar Highlands, which aligns with future lunar missions.

Company Profile: AnorTech Inc.

AnorTech continues to make progress in sustainable technologies and holds 100% ownership of the Gronne Bjerg anorthosite project in Greenland. The company is dedicated to advancing various product lines towards successful commercialization.

Earlier this year, AnorTech filed a U.S. provisional patent related to its unique sustainable smelter grade alumina (SGA) technology. To facilitate initial testing for SGA, the company has transported a bulk sample of crushed anorthosite from Gronne Bjerg to Ontario, Canada.

Also, AnorTech is in active discussions with major industrial partners to expedite the commercialization of its proprietary technologies. The company retains a 5% carried interest in the Sarfartoq rare earth element project in Western Greenland, previously sold to Neo Performance Materials. Furthermore, AnorTech is well-capitalized with over $2.3 million in working capital.
