Technical & Re-refinery Operations Advisory Arrangement with Mike Ebert

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 04, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Gen III Oil Corp. (“Gen III” or the “Company”) (TSXV: GIII) (OTCQX: ISRJF) is pleased to announce it has entered into a technical and re-refinery operations consulting arrangement with Mike Ebert and Blue Process Advisors, LLC, (the “Consultant”).

Mr. Ebert commenced his 34-year career in the oil refining business with Esso Petroleum Canada in Sarnia, Ontario before moving to Safety-Kleen’s Breslau re-refinery. Safety-Kleen is North America’s largest collector, recycler, and re-refiner of used oil. Safety-Kleen owns and operates the largest oil re-refining capacity in North America, collecting and processing more than 220 million gallons of oil per year.

At Safety-Kleen, Mr. Ebert was the re-refinery manager of the Breslau, Ontario re-refinery from 1990 to 1994. He then moved to the East Chicago, Indiana re-refinery where he held the positions of Refinery Manager, VP US Refinery Operations and VP of Oil Engineering, Technology and Business Development between 1994 and 2011. At East Chicago, Mr. Ebert more than doubled the plant’s capacity, from 55 to 115 million US gallons. He also led the design, engineering, construction and commissioning of a US$15 million blending plant at the site.

Mr. Ebert joined Clean Harbors Environmental Services (“CHES”) when they acquired Safety-Kleen in 2011. CHES is North America’s leading provider of environmental, energy and industrial services. CHES’s customer base spans several industries, including chemical, energy, and manufacturing, as well as numerous government agencies. CHES operates throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico.

Mr. Ebert continued in his role of VP of Oil Engineering, Technology and Business Development where he oversaw the 50% expansion of the Breslau plant and CHES’s early oil re-refining acquisitions.

Mr. Ebert left CHES to become President of Puralube USA, Inc. in 2014. He was responsible for developing Puralube’s re-refinery project in Florida and establishing their lube oil sales footprint in North America.

In 2016 Mr. Ebert formed Blue Process Advisors, LLC., a consulting company focusing on green and renewable process industries.

Mr. Ebert earned a BASc in Chemical Engineering from the University of Waterloo and an MBA (cum laude) with a major in Operations Management from York University.

Company President & COO Gordon Driedger stated, “Mike Ebert’s first-hand industry knowledge of re-refining and used motor oil is impeccable. Mike has demonstrated an ability to maintain compliance in a highly regulated business and has operated under the jurisdiction of local regulatory agencies, state environmental agencies, USEPA, OSHA, DOT, FRA, US Coast Guard and their Canadian equivalents. We are extremely fortunate to have access to Mike’s expertise and experiences which are already proving accretive as we finalize front-end engineering and design.”

The company also announces that, as part of the consulting agreement, it has granted 300,000 stock options exercisable at $0.70 to Mr. Ebert. The options will vest in three tranches and will closely align Mr. Ebert’s goals with those of Gen III.
