BACTECH LAUNCHES AGORACOM CASHLESS AI MARKETING PROGRAM AND VERIFIED DISCUSSION FORUM

Bactech Environmental Corp. has launched a 12-month on-line marketing campaign with Agoracom that will feature industry-leading artificial intelligence generated content to reach investors of all demographics around the world. In addition, Bactech will launch a verified forum on Agoracom that will provide moderated, civilized engagement between management and shareholders. The company will pay $0 in cash for the program, utilizing Agoracom's cashless, fully compliant shares-for-service program.

Agoracom industry-leading artificial intelligence content

As the pioneer of on-line investor relations and digital marketing for over 25 years, Agoracom launched its AI content showcase earlier this year. Agoracom demonstrated how the use of artificial intelligence content will provide Bactech with an ability to create faster, stronger and emotional connections, telling the company story to global investor audiences, including:

• AI movie trailer: a cinematic presentation of the company's story as a movie trailer;
• Small-cap odyssey: a time warp journey of the company's journey;
• AI avatars: a demographic mix of storytellers to reach different audiences;
• Multilingual avatars: a mix of French, German, Chinese, Spanish and Arabic storytellers.

Ross Orr, president and chief executive officer, stated: "Bactech Environmental is focused on delivering cleaner, more sustainable solutions for the mining industry through proprietary technologies that safely treat toxic materials while recovering valuable metals. From our flagship Tenguel bioleach facility in Ecuador to our zero-tailings reclamation technology, we are building a platform designed to create both environmental and economic value. Agoracom's AI content helps us tell that story more effectively, giving investors and stakeholders a clearer understanding of Bactech's mission, technology and long-term opportunity."

Significant exposure through Agoracom digital network

Bactech will receive significant exposure through continuous brand impressions, content marketing and social media engagement across the entire Agoracom network.

In 2025, Agoracom surpassed 900 million lifetime page views from nine million investors who visited Agoracom's channels over 75 million times, shattering industry engagement rates by more than 350 per cent.

Agoracom is ranked in the top 0.15 per cent of all sites in the world by Amazon's Alexa website ranker before it was recently retired by Amazon.

Agoracom engagement rates on X have ranked 260 per cent above industry standards for multiple years while its YouTube channel generated over 127,000 hours of videos viewed by small-capitalization investors over the past four years.

Verified forum for management and shareholders

Agoracom verified forums for civil engagement between shareholders and management complete the engagement cycle by providing stakeholders with a community that provides full transparency, communications efficiency for companies, and FUD protection from nefarious investors who use misinformation and disinformation to hurt companies.
