NOVX21 PROVIDES AN UPDATE ON THE FINANCING FOR ITS COMMERCIAL PLANT

NOVX21 Inc. is in discussions with the Quebec government to fund the construction of a commercial extraction plant for platinum-group precious metals in Thetford mines.

Funding for the project was requested under the new Creativite Quebec financial aid program, which will see the Quebec government assume a greater partnership role in innovative projects that strengthen and diversify Quebec's economy. The Creativite Quebec program provides funding to enable businesses to acquire new technologies or develop or improve products and processes.
