MIAMA, FL / ACCESSWIRE / April 13, 2021 / Novusterra Inc. (Private) is pleased to announce that it has closed the non-brokered private placement of $316,512, which is oversubscribed from the targeted amount of $250,000. Pursuant to the financing, the Company issued 633,024 common shares at $0.50 per common share. The gross proceeds will be used to fund the S-1 public financing process as well as further develop the graphene technologies and sub licenses.

It was previously announced that Novusterra Inc. secured a sub license of two patents pertaining to graphene production and roll to roll graphene production from American Resources Corporation (NASDAQ:AREC). Novusterra intends to further the development of the patents alongside American Resources technology partners with a goal of developing specific technology applications for energy storage and water filtration.

Novusterra has also received all necessary approvals to conduct a reverse stock split of 3 for 1 to better position the company for a public equity financing. The company has also received notice that American Resources Corporation has fully converted its Class B Common Stock into Class A Common Stock and the company has received all necessary approvals to cancel the Class B Common Stock from its authorized shares outstanding.

Andrew Weeraratne, Director and CEO of Novusterra Inc. commented, "We are excited to have support from the investment community in this existing venture as we focus on positioning the company for growth. We believe with further development of the patents for our specific targeted applications that graphene can represent a major breakthrough in energy storage and worldwide water filtration and water quality. We have had a long relationship with the principals of American Resources and we are excited that they had confidence in our ability to further develop and commercialize these two patents to create value for our combined shareholders. We look forward to communicating further milestones as we continue to execute on our growth initiatives."

Pursuant to the non-exclusive sublicense agreement that Novusterra signed with American Resources, American Resources was provided an equity stake representing approximately a 50% equity in Novusterra and 50% of the operating income from the future sales of graphene.
