NXT ANNOUNCES GEOTHERMAL SURVEY FOR ALBERTA GEOTHERMAL RESOURCE RECOVERY INC.

CALGARY, AB, August 21, 2024 – NXT Energy Solutions Inc. (“NXT” or the “Company”) (TSX: SFD; OTCQB: NSFDF) is pleased to announce it has entered into a geothermal survey agreement with Alberta Geothermal Resource Recovery Inc. (AGRRI). The survey will be flown in Alberta, Canada.

The survey will be conducted at a mutually agreeable time and subject to aircraft availability and the receipt of permits from the government authorities. A standard survey project would normally take 2-3 months from the initiation of data acquisition to the delivery of the Standard Report. This timeline does not include integration which is nominally conducted following delivery of the Standard Report.

Bruce G. Wilcox, CEO of NXT stated “The AGRRI survey is an important milestone in NXT’s development of the geothermal application of our SFD® technology; our first survey for a client. The value to NXT will primarily be to demonstrate the commerciality of SFD® in the geothermal domain. Other potential geothermal clients will be keenly interested in the results.”

About Alberta Geothermal Resource Recovery Inc.

AGRRI is a geothermal company based in Alberta, Canada that aims to help Canada reach its goal of NET ZERO GHG Emissions by 2050, primarily by repurposing abandoned oil and gas wells into geothermal wells, turning liabilities to assets.

The geothermal potential of Alberta occurs mainly at depths between 1.5 to 5 kilometers below the surface contained in geological formations of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin. Development of the resource can help diversify Alberta’s energy sector and provide electricity and heat to municipalities, industry and remote areas.

About NXT Energy Solutions Inc.
