CORRE Provides Business update

TORONTO, March 16, 2021 /CNW/ - Canadian Oil Recovery and Remediation Enterprises Ltd. (TSXV: CVR) (the "Company" or "CORRE").  Further to the Company's news release of December 22, 2020 whereby CORRE announced the termination of its proposed reverse takeover transaction with Avant Imaging and Integrated Media Inc. ("AIIM"), the Company has been advised by the TSX Venture Exchange that with the transaction being terminated and the Company's failure to meet Tier 2 CLR requirements, CORRE will be transferred to NEX in conjunction with its resumption to trading and the trading symbol for the Company will change from CVR to CVR.H.

Political changes and unrest in the Gulf area and the drastic decline in oil prices have brought the core environmental business of the Company of treatment of oil-contaminated soil and oil recovery to a halt. This has impaired the value of the Company's equipment which has remained inactive and in storage in Kuwait. The harsh weather conditions in Kuwait have deteriorated the equipment to an inoperable level which, in turn, has drastically reduced their value.

Since the termination of the proposed transaction with AIIM, the Company has continued to search for a suitable private business partner seeking to "go public" by merging its business with the Company.  However, the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly curtailed normal economic activity and made it difficult for the Company to find a suitable business partner to date.  The Company will continue to explore strategic alternatives.
