CALGARY, Alberta and TORONTO, May 26, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Magnetic North Acquisition Corp. (TSXV: MNC; MNC.PR.A) (“Magnetic North” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that our investee company, CXTL Recycling (Canada) Corp. (“CTXL”) has executed a sale of precious and base metals, primarily gold and copper, from the processing of e-waste. The aggregate sale price is approximately $1.9 million CAD and will close in tranches.
Going forward CXTL expects to sell processed precious and base metals in spot transactions to maximize the average sale price for each specific metal. This strategy would allow for a higher overall maximum price over a long-term fixed price contract.
Andrew Osis, Co-CEO Magnetic North stated, “We are very pleased that the combination of investee companies Intergild and CXTL have resulted in the planned capabilities that will allow CXTL to become a leader in the recycling of plastics, e-waste and other waste streams. CXTL’s capacity to fully recycle e-waste and plastics in a no emission, low energy process provides a compelling solution to addressing carbon emissions and waste problems that affect the overall global environment.”
As previously announced on February 18th, 2021, operations at CXTL’s facility in Calgary have been limited due to COVID-19 provincial restrictions. Further processing of e-waste and plastic waste is expected to continue when Alberta’s COVID-19 public health orders are lifted. CXTL is anticipating commercial operations to resume sometime in the Fall of 2021.
