TekModo Industries: Activated Carbon Division Announces First Contract

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Dec. 8, 2016) - TekModo Industries Inc. (TSX VENTURE:TEK) ("TekModo" or the "Company") is pleased to report that it has successfully launched its activated carbon business. TekModo has delivered its first shipment (40 metric tons) of pelletized bituminous coal-based activated carbon. Further deliveries, based on existing purchase orders for 154 metric tons, are expected within the next quarter.

Activated carbon is a porous material with a very large surface area. The pores naturally capture pollutants, allowing activated carbon to serve as an effective filter of airborne and waterborne pollutants. Activated carbon is used as a filtration medium for liquid, odour, and gaseous applications such as water treatment, chemical, pharmaceutical, distillery, brewery and stack emissions. It comes in a variety of forms, including powdered, granulated and pelletized, as appropriate for the specific filtration application.

TekModo has the exclusive right, within Canada and the United States, to distribute bituminous coal-based activated carbon pellets produced by an offshore manufacturer. The pelletized product is specifically designed to meet the filtration needs for vapour or gaseous filtration applications.

TekModo is also seeking customers for bituminous coal-based granular activated carbon (GACs). GAC is designed to meet the filtration demands of a wide array of water filtration applications. The pellet and GAC products that TekModo distributes are not subject to U.S. tariffs on foreign products allowing TekModo's activated carbon products to be very price competitive in the U.S. market.

On Behalf of the Board of TekModo Industries Inc.
