GIII Regen III Corp

Gen III Oil Corporation (“Gen III” or the “Company“) (TSX-V:GIII) is pleased to announce the completion of its negotiated contract with Stantec Consulting Ltd. (“Stantec”) to complete the Front-End Engineering and Design (“FEED”), moving towards detailed engineering design for the construction of its proposed Bowden, Alberta plant (the “Contract”).

The FEED will be undertaken to mitigate plant cost over-run risk, providing what the Company believes will be a project payback within the first fifteen months of production.  Under the terms of the Contract, Stantec will be providing the Company with a process guarantee tied to guaranteed production outputs, for the total value of its fees under the Contract, plus the value of additional process guarantees received from its individual stage component design subcontractors (the “Process Guarantee”).

The Process Guarantee serves to guarantee the percentage output of product mix, which will be finalized in accordance with the design criteria defined by the FEED report.   As previously announced in the Company’s press release of March 29, 2017, in its pre-FEED study, Stantec reported 75% recovery of Group II and Group III base lubricating oils, of which greater than 50% of the plant output was estimated to be Group III base oil. 

The Company’s management is now actively engaged in seeking proposals from internationally recognized Engineering, Procurement and Construction (“EPC”) firms with the intent of contracting a guaranteed lump sum turnkey price for construction for its Bowden, Alberta re-refinery.  The Company plans to start construction on the Bowden facility in the summer of 2018 and forecasts an in-service date for the Bowden Project of Q1 of 2019.

Company CEO Greg Clarkes states, “We are very pleased to have selected Stantec as our ongoing engineering partner as we continue to execute the development of the Bowden Project. We are particularly pleased that they have reinforced their conviction in the project through the strength of their Process Guarantee.  This FEED contract represents a significant step in moving the Bowden Project forward.”
