Management Commentary
Forward Water’s CEO and President, C. Howie Honeyman ‘During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 we continued to build key client and customer relationships leading to further commercial advances. For instance, our progress with Clean Tech Lithium’s brine processing has led to a pre-commercial field trial. Not only is this trial expected to affirm the commercial readiness of our water treatment process, but key data sets are expected to be generated and allow us to illustrate how the Company’s technology can be successfully applied to a wide array of other sectors. We have also had successful inroads made in the food and beverage sector that we look to develop in the near future’.
