Dominion Water Reserves Announces Portfolio of 10 Freshwater Reserves With Increased Volume Under Permit Following Consolidat...
November 05 2020 - 8:30AM
Dominion Water Reserves Corp.
(“
DWR” or the “
Company”), is
pleased to announce its recent developments and diversified
portfolio of 10 spring water sources consolidated after a recent
definitive share purchase agreement with Aquanor Inc. DWR has
thereby acquired 100% interest in the St-Joseph de Coleraine water
source, a freshwater reserve representing an estimated 0.7% of
Quebec’s total volume under permit. This unique 13 ppm silicon
water quality is attractive for the specialty water market,
featuring numerous health and wellness benefits and a generous 71
million liters per year of permitted extraction volume. As part of
the Acquisition, DWR has secured a 25-year water sale contract with
Aquanor to sell the specialized water in recyclable packaging, with
initial distribution in the IGA Disraeli, Quebec location.
This acquisition complements DWR’s operations, as its primary
business being a consolidator of the water industry by acquiring
fresh spring water permits and developing operations across Quebec,
with prospective plans to expand across North America. DWR
currently controls more than 3 billion litres of spring water,
acquired and currently under permit, alongside a diversified
portfolio of 10 freshwater sources which includes the biggest well
in Quebec with over 2 billion permitted litres of extraction per
year and two deep seaport sources with considerable volume. DWR is
strategically positioned to increase its holdings and become a
dominant player in freshwater reserves, water technology and
distribution, with a current 30.4% share of Quebec’s spring water
sources secured through acquisitions and options. Given DWR’s
current trajectory, the company is positioned to secure over 50% of
Quebec’s current natural underground reserves of freshwater,
representing over 7.5 billion litres of annual extraction volume
and over 1000 acres of land, amounting to an astounding 1%-1.3% of
the world’s freshwater reserves.
Among DWR’s specialty 13 ppm water source, the company aims to
stand apart by its procured unique glacier water source which is
one of only two permitted esker reserves in Quebec and the second
largest source in authorized volume, containing 9.4% of the volume
of Quebec permitted extraction. This strategically located esker
reserve also exhibits exceptional water quality for specialty
products resulting from a natural filtration process, adding a
unique proposition to DWR’s important volume of spring water under
management that stands today at 3.22 billion litres acquired and
under option.
The global market for bottled water poised to reach US$307.6
billion by 2025, driven by the needs of a growing world population
expected to reach 9.8 billion by 2050. With Canada’s retail sales
of bottled water forecast to reach over US$4.4 billion by 2022, DWR
is in a prime position to cater to this growing demand. Based on
current esker and silicon spring water reserves with a combined
annual permitted debit of over 1B liters, at a $0.005 per liter
price point secured through the Aquanor water sale contract, DWR is
in a position to achieve strong potential revenues within the next
12 months subject to securing additional distribution
contracts.
