Insights from Recent Presentation & Funding Update
A lot of inquiries have been received since our recent video presentation on various topics. I feel communication and clarity would best be accomplished by responding to all shareholders regarding these questions.
I understand the frustration felt by shareholders over the current market conditions which has brought about mixed messaging in the marketplace. This has been exasperated by our recently announced funding requirement brought about by our present operating cash deficiency in allowing us to strive for a positive cash flow position in our operations. I need to reiterate that by reaching 2500 lbs of thru put in one 8-hour shift we will be achieving our initial objective of 5000 lbs for Module 1 with the addition of a second 8-hour shift. This will be a duplication of what we have already done in the current 8-hour shift as no further scale up of our process is required beyond the logistics of material handling, etc. To accomplish this, we need operating capital for additional personnel, feedstock and chemicals to give us the staying power to manage the 90-120 day payment schedule from refiners for our product.
When I mentioned that the Company is not considering a consolidation of shares at this time it was in reference to a roll back of shares. Many companies wish to reduce the number of outstanding shares this way. For example, if a company had 100 million outstanding shares and the share price was $0.10 a 5 to 1 share roll back would reduce the outstanding shares to 20 million. If a shareholder owned 1 million shares pre roll back the net value of the position would be $100,000. The rationale behind the roll back is the share price should now remain at $0.50 thus leaving a shareholders equity position the same at $100,000 (200,000 shares @ $0.50). This usually does not happen as the share price usually drifts down unless there is a strategic business rationale for doing so.
In our recently announced Rights Offering the 2 for 1 consolidation results in the same number of outstanding shares as before the Rights Offering. If the offering is fully subscribed the outstanding shares will temporarily double because of the CDN $0.0075 right exercise to 790 million shares but return to approximately 395 million shares with the 2 for 1 consolidation after the close of the Offering.
The basic premise behind a Rights Offering is that existing shareholders participate in the funding with no additional share dilution to the Company. Unfortunately shareholders not fully participating in the Rights Offering will be diluted 50% of their unexercised shares. Shareholders that do participate in the Rights Offering have the option if they choose to request additional rights at CDN ¾ of one cent ($0.0075) from the remaining pool of unexercised rights that will be available from the shareholders that have not participated.
I mentioned that our operating capital shortfall could only be resolved in three ways. Our first option is an equity raise (such as a private placement but this cannot be done at a price below $0.05 due to regulatory restrictions). The second option is a predatory loan debt instrument that would not be in the best interests of shareholders. The final option is a Rights Offering. All funding avenues were considered and evaluated, and a Rights Offering is the only viable option to us at this time. A price of ¾ of one cent was determined to be sufficient to give the Company the operating capital required (approximately $3M) to scale up to 5000 lbs per day and allow us the window to overcome the 90-120 day receivable timeline.
As already mentioned, currently we are hampered in our ability to operate at increased capacities by our lack of an adequate working capital facility. This working capital deficiency doesn’t allow us to purchase the quantity of feedstock required to operate Module One at the capacity it is capable of. The proceeds of the Rights Offering provides this working capital for us to meet our production objectives.
We have been asked about our relationships with refiners. As with any potential commercial business transaction, especially with new technologies and its related implications, due diligence is undertaken by both parties. As such, we have NDA’s in place with more than one large refiner and are presently working closely with them as well as with other commercial interests. Nothing further can be communicated at this time until disclosures are agreed to by both parties and in a format acceptable to each, especially in the revelation of competitive issues to the industry.
There has been several inquires as to the use of proceeds from our funding initiatives. Since the 2022 Rights Offering, we have also raised $4.8M in additional funding through convertible debentures. $1.9M of the 2022 Rights offering was used for required debt repayments that saved the company interest expenses
Our spending for the development of the catalytic converter business has used almost $3.7M of these funds on the pilot plant and Module 1. As discussed previously, Module 1 has incurred 4 major issues and the direct costs associated with these issues are as follows. The heating system upgrade cost $400K, the bulk loader with modifications cost $120K, the reactor manufacturing failure cost $75K and the pump limitations cost us $40K. These direct costs were unanticipated and do not include the indirect costs associated with down time and the delays in fixing these issues due to the sourcing and scheduling of the necessary independent tradespeople needed to repair/fabricate the various mechanical, electrical, and plumbing items. We would obviously have preferred to not have incurred these issues, but this is not unusual in the process of building a system that is the first of its kind. There are simply no prior design parameters to fall back on or professional engineering consultants to rely on when approaching a project such as ours.
SG&A costs, including the Vancouver research facility, are approximately $2.6M since the 2022 Rights Offering. In addition, we have also contributed almost $1M to fund Iron Bull and the Cehegin Iron Ore Project during this time.
I stress that this new Rights Offering is the final hurdle that Regenx requires to meet the operational needs to reach 5000lbs/day of throughput, and to overcome the refineries unfavourable payment terms, allowing us the time to move into a positive cash position. In addition, its important to note that as we begin to show a history of revenue generation typical operating lines with traditional funding institutions will become available to us for growth and expansion needs.
I have had many calls where shareholders have expressed their frustration with the timeline roll out and unexpected expenses that have occurred during our plant mobilization but have enthusiastically expressed their support for the company and what has been accomplished to date. I want to express my appreciation to all our shareholders for the unwavering support shown throughout this whole process. We are very close to realizing the merits of our technology journey and look forward to the recognition and value that will be forthcoming as a result.

Regenx Tech Corp., (the “Company” or “Regenx” (CSE:RGX) (OTCQB:RGXTF) is pleased to announce the system recovery rates obtained during the start-up phase of the commissioning of Module One in Greeneville TN.
During the initial phase of commissioning a recovery rate of 86% for both Platinum (Pt) and Palladium (Pd) were consistently achieved. By the end of the commissioning phase recoveries of 94% for Pt and 98% for Pd were attained. The recovery rates reported previously were solely for the leaching process. The overall recovery results currently reported reflect the entirety of the process including all sections where potential precious metal losses occur, such as leaching, solid/liquid separation and the Merrill Crowe recovery.
“The team is very excited being able to replicate the results from the lab and pilot plant trials during the start up commissioning phase. These results were obtained using very low-grade materials which makes this even more exciting as low-grade material was the most challenging to obtain high recoveries in the lab environment. Everyone at Regenx is excited as we enter the next stage of the Company’s development as a fully commercial operation. The Company’s vision is to become a global solution for an ever increasing multi-billion dollar problem”, stated Greg Pendura, CEO.

$RGXTF $RGX.V Regenx Opens Its First CleanTech Facility in Tennessee Recovering Precious Metals from End of Life Products
https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2023/04/11/2644045/0/en/Regenx-Opens-Its-First-CleanTech-Facility-in-Tennessee-Recovering-Precious-Metals-from-End-of-Life-Products.html
EDMONTON, Alberta, April 11, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Regenx Tech Corp., (the “Corporation” or Regenx”) (TSXV: RGX) (OTCQB: RGXTF) (FSE: YRS: A2DSW3) is pleased to announce that last week the Company received the occupancy permit for its first facility in Greeneville, Tennessee.

And one more put out Dec 5.
DECEMBER 5, 2022
REGENX TECH CORP (TSX.V : RGX | OTCQB : RGXTF | FSE : YRS)
Despite the need to accelerate the circular economy, only a relatively small percentage of precious metals come from the secondary market. Now Regenx Tech Corp (TSX.V: RGX) (OTCQB: RGXTF) , with its new processing technology has an opportunity to change the game as it commissions its commercial-scale plant to extract platinum, palladium and rhodium from diesel catalysts.
Each year, about 90 tonnes of platinum, 300 tonnes of palladium and 30 tonnes of rhodium are used globally for catalytic converters – both diesel and gasoline. But only 30-to-50 percent of this comes from recycling.
Extracting precious metals from spent diesel catalysts in particular is by no means a clean business. Smelters started getting a bad rap with the result that they began refusing to take in diesel catalytic converters. This has opened massive opportunities for companies like Regenx Tech Corp’s (TSX.V: RGX) (OTCQB: RGXTF). Their new processing plant is a fantastic example of CleanTech that aims to make the recycling of platinum and palladium more efficient.
With carbon emissions and ESG standards now regarded as major risks for new mining companies, the recycling of end-products and re-mining of old tailings dams and mining dumps are looking more and more attractive for new start-up companies.
Exploration and the establishment of new mines are certainly no longer the only way to extract minerals and metals. Greenfield exploration and mining projects have become more expensive, a lot riskier and its environmental footprint is expanding as more projects come online to satisfy increased global demand.
On the other hand, recycling projects in Europe, North America and Canada, and re-mining operations, especially of PGM’s and gold in South Africa, have ensured a steady flow of dividends to its shareholders, while, at the same time, have not burnt holes in the pockets of its owners in terms of operational costs.
What has become known as CleanTech products, are a lot more environmentally friendly than traditional mining, while being a pivot around which the circular economy operates.
The costs of finding new deposits and mining them have increased exponentially over the years. At the same time improved mining methods and new technology made it possible for recycling companies to extract the same minerals and metals at a fraction of what big extractive companies have to dish out to keep their projects operational.
The problem with recycling minerals, metals and waste items like tires until very recently, was not only the amount of carbon the smelters and processing plants spewed out in the recycling process, but also their insatiable demand for a steady supply of energy. Technology has addressed this problem to a large extent.
Regenx well positioned in circular economy
Regenx is positioned for growth in the CleanTech sector through the development and commercialization of its environmentally friendly processing technologies for the recovery of precious metals. Initial focus is the extraction of platinum and palladium from diesel catalytic converters with its business partner Davis Recycling.
Close to 80% of the world’s palladium and 50% of the world’s platinum are used in catalytic converters annually. Worldwide, catalytic converters require more than 13 million oz of platinum and palladium per year to meet the exhaust emission regulations for gasoline.
According to Pendura, there will be a mind boggling twenty-seven million spent diesel catalytic converters per year in the USA alone. Even more outrageous, is that only 30% of those converters will eventually be recycled.
It means that there are unthinkable amounts of platinum and palladium locked up in these catalytic converters. Pendura says that close to 50% of the annual global platinum and palladium production is used in diesel catalytic converters.
“Processing technology that will be able to extract precious metals like platinum and palladium in a CleanTech environment will be well received on North American soil,” says Pendura.
This is ground-breaking technology, and Regenx is first to the market. Their commercial plant, once in full swing, will produce approximately ten tonnes of spent converters per day and revenues are expected to exceed USD 100-million. These are phenomenal numbers from a business perspective, considering that the recycling of converters is currently (with old technology) worth more than USD 25-billion.
Not only that, but there is bound to be a great pile of spent diesel converters lying around with nowhere to go, and Regenx and Davis Recycling plans to mop these up.
PGMs are notoriously difficult and costly to mine, and extremely complex to process. Its environmental impacts are not always mitigated effectively. Unless, of course, it is recycled from used diesel convertors or reclaimed from historic mining waste dumps.
The green economy has opened-up numerous opportunities for innovative solutions to solve environmental problems. Regenx and Davis Recycling, its business partner, recently tested a 100L pilot plant, and has shipped it to Tennessee in the upper south of the USA.
Davis Recycling has put in place the required infrastructure to allow for a smooth transition to an operating facility. This has included the addition of more processing equipment that will convert the raw catalytic converters into the powdered feedstock required by the Regenx system. The new equipment allows Davis to process feedstock exceeding the commercial plant’s anticipated capacity.
Over the last decade, PGMs have been consistently short on supply. The world’s mining operations alone cannot meet or sustain global demand for PGMs. This has created space for recycling to help meet the shortfall.
With more focus on climate change, biodiversity, circularity, rehabilitation and ESG standards, research and development in the circular economy, especially in the recycling sector, will become critical in the economic transition.
