Canadian Premium Sand Inc. (CPS) has initiated a front end engineering and design (FEED) study for its proposed flat glass manufacturing facility.

The company also announced a non-brokered private placement after it received interest from a US investor. Based on the unsolicited offer from the investor, the company agreed to a US$1 million private placement at C$0.35 per share.

AECOM, a Winnipeg-based company, will also assist with the process of applying for environmental and regulatory permits to further support the FEED study.

Through the study, Canadian Premium Sand hopes to design a facility that will be both cost-effective and environmentally sustainable.
