About Cotec Holdings Corp.

Cotec is a publicly traded investment issuer listed on the TSX Venture Exchange and the OTCQB and trades under the symbol CTH and CTHCF, respectively. The company is an ESG-focused (environment, social and governance) company investing in innovative technologies that have the potential to fundamentally change the way metals and minerals can be extracted and processed for the purpose of applying those technologies to undervalued operating assets and recycling opportunities, as the company transitions into a mid-tier mineral resource producer.

The company has made four investments to date and is actively pursuing operating opportunities where current technology investments could be deployed.
