ARLSF - Argo Living Soils Corp. Announces Expanded Scope of Malaysian Operations and Termination of Joint Venture with Pacific Composting Inc.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 11, 2024) - Argo Living Soils Corp. (CSE: ARGO) (FSE: 94Y) (OTC Pink: ARLSF) ("Argo" or the "Company") is pleased to announce significant developments in its operational strategy and market focus.

Argo previously announced a Memorandum of Understanding with Connective Global SDN BHD ("Connective Global") on April 9, 2024, and is now advancing towards a definitive joint venture agreement. This collaboration aims to leverage biochar technology for agricultural and industrial applications, with dedicated research and development at University Putra Malaysia (UPM).

The Company's CEO, Peter Hoyle, commented, "We are excited about the progress made towards a joint venture agreement with Connective Global. Our aligned focus on markets across Asia, positions us to address the growing demand for sustainable agricultural solutions. These regions offer significant opportunities due to their initiatives to build food security by converting arid lands into fertile agricultural areas."

Argo is strategically targeting markets in Southeast Asia and the Middle East, where sustainable agricultural solutions are vitally important. This shift allows Argo to concentrate efforts on these more lucrative opportunities as nations address soil degradation and improve food security.

In alignment with this strategic shift, Argo has decided to terminate its joint venture with Pacific Composting Inc. in Duncan, BC. This decision reflects Argo's commitment to focusing resources and efforts on the Asian market.

As at the date of this news release, a definitive joint venture agreement with Connective Global has not been executed and there is no guarantee that such agreement will proceed as outlined above. The definitive joint venture agreement remains subject to negotiation and execution of definitive documentation acceptable to both parties, which may or may not be completed.
