TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / May 31, 2024 / Forward Water Technologies Corp. ("Forward Water" or the "Company") (TSXV:FWTC) announces today a commercial update based on enquiries received since its press release of March 20, 2024. With respect to the opportunities currently being pursued by Forward Water to develop direct lithium extraction projects, the Company estimates that should commercial scale plants be built incorporating FWTC's process technology, each plant could represent approximately US$25 million of revenue to FWTC. This estimate is based on information and specifications provided by an array of parties that have engaged with FWTC to date. Revenue from each plant would be recognized over approximately 36 months but exact amounts and timelines will vary.

FWTC also continues to purse multiple industrial wastewater opportunities with its marketing partners. The applications of FWTC's technology process vary by customer and application but preliminary engineering work to date suggests that each opportunity could represent US$2-6 million of revenue to FWTC should they proceed.

It should be noted that this information is not to be construed as a forecast and none of these projects may advance to commercial contracts.
