EXCLUSIVE AGREEMENT TO SOURCE DEBT FOR WASTE TO ENERGY PROJECTS

MetalNRG plc, (LON:MNRG), the natural resources and energy investment company, is pleased to announce that it has agreed an exclusive remit for AdviCorp PLC to source a £20 million to £40 million debt facility to be invested on a project by project basis in identified, qualified and "shovel ready" waste to energy projects in Europe.

Following MetalNRG and EQTEC plc (AIM: EQT) entering into a Business Development Partnership (as previously announced on 22 March 2021) extensive work has been completed by the partnership to secure exclusivity and develop a pre-qualified secured pipeline of waste-to-energy and waste-to-fuels projects. These projects are expected to deliver revenues within 6 to 18 months of funding. The first project is already under construction in Italy.

The focus of our pipeline development has been on identifying and securing a number of mature projects that can deliver rapid revenue generation and meet the requirements for debt investment. The partnership has developed a 2-tier pipeline of projects along the following qualifications:

Tier 1:

Projects that have successfully achieved financial close, to be revenue generating by the end of 2022, with a typical investment of between £2 million to £10 million, delivering an unleveraged IRR of between 12% to 16% with all the requirements for debt financing in place.

Tier 2:

Projects ready to achieve financial close and construction to start in Q2 to Q4 2022, typical investment between £5 million and £10 million per project and leading to revenue within a maximum of 18 months from funding.

MetalNRG and AdviCorp have entered into an exclusive agreement that will see AdviCorp advise on securing a debt facility to be drawn down on a project by project basis.

Rolf Gerritsen commented "The agreement with AdviCorp strengthens the foundation to our development plan with EQTEC and our business partnership. The access to debt will enable MetalNRG to further develop a wider portfolio of waste to energy projects that will give us substantial flexibility.

I am delighted that AdviCorp has agreed to work with us as its reputation for delivery is outstanding. I very much look forward to supplying the market with additional information as we progress this extremely exciting project."
