- Business
- Earthworks Industries Inc. (TSX Venture: EWK), a development-stage waste management company, develops integrated waste handling facilities, including non-hazardous landfills, organic waste recycling, and material processing services, through its wholly owned U.S. subsidiary Cortina Integrated Waste Management Inc.; the company targets private and public sector clients in the United States, with its primary focus on the 443-acre Cortina Integrated Waste Management project located on the Cortina Rancheria in Colusa County, California, approximately 60 miles northwest of Sacramento. Founded in 1984 and headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, Earthworks maintains strong relationships with regional waste management operators in California to support project advancement amid growing demand for disposal capacity driven by shifts in recycling markets. In recent developments, the company initiated a non-brokered private placement of 5 million units at $0.06 each in October 2025 for gross proceeds of $300,000 to fund operations; executed shares-for-debt settlements and option grants throughout 2025, including 750,000 shares to settle $56,200 indebtedness in October and 3.3 million options at $0.075 expiring in 2030 in September; closed a $375,000 private placement in July 2025; and continues legal proceedings in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California challenging a 2024 Interior Board of Indian Appeals order purporting to cancel the project's federal lease, with updates including a November 2025 North Bay Corporation debt settlement amendment waiving certain share transfers.
