Micromem Provides Update

Toronto, Ontario and New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - May 1, 2020) - Micromem Technologies, Inc. (CSE: MRM) (OTCQB: MMTIF) ("Micromem") ("the Company") provides the following current update.

Micromem continues to remain in contact with its key partners, Chevron and Romgaz. As a consequence of the business impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, staff reductions and travel restrictions have affected our partners, suppliers, manufacturers and installers.

Micromem has been advised by its partners that, while the respective projects are proceeding, scheduling has been moved to late summer or fall 2020. The launch dates for the next phases of our business activity with our partners is yet to be finalized.

Micromem has been instituting cost-cutting measures to preserve its cash. As previously reported, our senior management team has received minimal compensation over the past several years. Most recently, staff payroll has been suspended, and the Company is evaluating various Canadian government relief programs. Additionally, other cost-cutting initiatives are underway. These current steps are necessary to allow the Company to be ready to move forward with its projects once our partners are ready to recommence work.

Joseph Fuda, CEO, says: "The COVID-19 pandemic has affected everyone around the world. We at Micromem continue to work every day to advance our projects."
