Kelso Technologies Inc. Technology Development Agreement

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA and BONHAM, TEXAS--(Marketwired - Nov. 15, 2016) - Kelso Technologies Inc. (TSX:KLS)(NYSE MKT:KIQ) ("Kelso" or the "Company") is pleased to report that it has entered an exclusive Technology Development Agreement ("Agreement") with G & J Technologies Inc. ("G & J"), a private company incorporated in the Province of British Columbia. 

The Agreement focuses on the development, commercialization and production of proprietary products used in heavy-duty, high-performance extreme terrain vehicles (ETVS). The Agreement gives Kelso the worldwide, perpetual, exclusive rights to develop with G & J a new generation of patented technologies that enhance the capabilities of ETVS. The Agreement gives Kelso the right to patent, market, manufacture, distribute and license all specialized technologies covered under the Agreement. Kelso plans to utilize these technologies to create ETVS components that can generate multi-million dollar revenue streams. 

G&J represents a highly skilled inventor and expert with 30 years of experience developing new technologies for extreme terrain motor vehicles. Due to competitive sensitivities, the Company will not release details of the inventor or the eight technology areas covered by the Agreement until patent applications are filed. The Company will control all resulting patents used in commercial products.

Prototype vehicles featuring the technologies have been conceived, built and tested by members of G & J in extreme environments for the past decade. Production planning has commenced at the Company's production facilities in Bonham, Texas and sales are expected to commence in 2017. New revenues are expected to be derived from customers requiring heavy duty ETVS performance technologies in applications in the military; railroad; police & border patrol; first responders; mining, forestry, oil, gas and electric transmission; and recreational applications. 

In consideration for the Agreement Kelso will pay G & J a fee of US$100,000 and 1,000,000 common shares of the Company that is scheduled to be released over four key milestones under the Agreement. In addition Kelso will pay US$10,000 per month to G & J and a 2.5% royalty on a pre-approved sales formula. All required capital, development and production resources for the near term are already in place and the Company will not have to raise any additional capital at this time.

James R. Bond, CEO of the Company comments that: "Kelso is very pleased to join G & J in the development of its ETVS technologies. This Agreement allows Kelso to expand its business model by initiating engineering design strategies in new specialized transportation markets. The Agreement with G & J provides Kelso the unique opportunity to participate in a multi-billion dollar marketplace with cutting edge technologies. These new markets will diversify Kelso's business model and reduce the cyclical risks of railroad supply. Management expects its expanded revenue model to lead to a more stable and reliable growth of financial performance on behalf of its shareholders in the future."
