Agreement helps assure a stable supply of metals for thermoelectric generator manufacturing.

Vancouver, BC, Canada, October 23, 2025 – TheNewswire - First Tellurium Corp. (CSE: FTEL, OTC: FSTTF) reports that its majority-owned subsidiary PyroDelta Energy Inc has reached an agreement with Fenix Advanced Materials of Trail, BC to supply high-purity, refined tellurium and other critical minerals to manufacture PyroDelta’s advanced thermoelectric generators. Tellurium represents a key component of the thermoelectric modules, and the agreement was established to alleviate potential supply issues.

Fenix is a world leader in the supply ultra-high purity (99.9999%) tellurium and other critical minerals. The company is part of the regional advanced-materials/metallurgy cluster often referred to as Metal Tech Alley in the West Kootenay / Lower Columbia region.

“This has been a key concern for us,” said First Tellurium President and CEO Tyrone Docherty. “The foreign supply chains for critical minerals are constantly in flux, and they have become highly politicized. We wanted to lock in a reliable source, and Fenix has assured us they can meet expected future demand regardless of foreign supply issues.”

“Our feedstock comes largely from domestic smelting and refining operations,” said Fenix CEO Don Freschi. “We have long-standing agreements in place, which provides us with a stable and reliable supply of critical metals for further refining. We look forward to working with PyroDelta and First Tellurium and supplying them with the metals they need as they bring the thermoelectric generators to market.”

First Tellurium also reports that it has engaged Hillside Consulting and Media Inc. (“Hillside”), of 474 Main St, Penticton, BC ("Hillside"), to provide marketing and distribution services for an initial period commencing Oct 23, 2025 and ending October 29, 2025.  Hillside is a marketing firm and is an arm's-length party to the Company.
