PyroGenesis Further Comments on Stock Trading Activity

MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - June 29, 2017) - PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (http://pyrogenesis.com) (TSX VENTURE:PYR)(OTCQB:PYRNF), a high-tech company (the "Company" or "PyroGenesis") that designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes advanced plasma processes and plasma torch products, announces today that, further to its press release issued earlier today, and in response to a significant number of inquiries relating to a possible private placement offering, the Company confirms that there are absolutely no discussions to undertake any such offerings at this time.

"Given the enormous amount of inquiries, notably with respect to a private placement offering at a price ranging from $0.50-$0.70, we thought it prudent to inform the market and stakeholders that there is absolutely no private placement offering being considered at this time, in this or any other price range." said P. Peter Pascali, President and CEO of PyroGenesis. "Although it is our policy not to comment on such inquiries, we believe under the circumstances it is necessary to do so. The fact of the matter is, we have recently refused offers to undertake a private placement offering when the stock was trading above $0.90. This is not to suggest that we would not consider financings should they be reasonable and necessary in the ordinary course of business; however, at this time no such discussions are being held."
