Anortech Enters Carbon Capture Research Collaboration with the National Research Council of Canada

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ANORTECH INC. (“AnorTech” or the “Company”) (TSX Venture Exchange “ANOR”; OTC “ANORF”) is pleased to announce a new collaboration with the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) on a one-year research project to develop next-generation alumina-based catalysts for efficient CO₂ capture, using AnorTech’s sustainable alumina.

This project builds on testing conducted in 2025, during which AnorTech supplied multiple grades of its sustainable alumina to the NRC for use in catalysts designed to capture CO₂ and convert it to methane through hydrogenation. AnorTech’s alumina samples were derived from its Gronne Bjerg anorthosite project in Greenland and produced in the Lakefield laboratory of SGS Canada Inc. AnorTech is jointly funding the project and will supply all alumina samples required for the test work.

Jim Cambon, President of AnorTech, commented: “We are very excited to partner with Canada’s research and innovation organization. This dynamic R&D project perfectly aligns with our mission to become the world’s leading provider of sustainable anorthosite-based technologies. The NRC’s expertise will help unlock new applications for our alumina – turning innovative science into real climate solutions.”

Project Highlights

Over the next 12 months, the NRC team will develop and optimize amine-functionalized alumina (Al₂O₃) adsorbents designed for superior CO₂ capture. Key focus areas include:

• Maximizing adsorption capacity, selectivity, and long-term stability
• Testing under real-world conditions (varying temperatures, concentrations, humidity, and simulated flue gas)
• Evaluating kinetics, regenerability, and cyclic performance
• Identifying breakthrough formulations ready for practical, large-scale carbon capture deployment
  
  

About AnorTech Inc.

AnorTech is pioneering the next generation of sustainable materials from anorthosite. The Company owns 100% of the Gronne Bjerg anorthosite project in Greenland – strategically located just 80km North-east of Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, on open tidewater and adjacent to significant hydroelectric potential.

AnorTech is advancing multiple product lines towards commercialization, including:

• Zero-waste Smelter Grade Alumina (SGA) and High Purity Alumina (HPA)
• CO2-free refractory cement and advanced 3D-printable cement
• Lunar construction materials using anorthosite-based concrete
  
  

The Company filed a U.S. provisional patent in 2025 to protect its proprietary sustainable SGA and HPA process (see NR2025-01) and shipped 15 tonnes of Gronne Bjerg anorthosite to Ontario in preparation for pilot plant testing. AnorTech is actively pursuing strategic industry partnerships to accelerate commercialization. AnorTech has $1.6 million in working capital and expects to receive US$1M plus US$750,000 in Greenland Mines Nasdaq listed shares once the transfer of the Sarfartoq REE license is completed (see NR 2026-02).
