Metir plc

("Metir" or the "Company")

Final Commissioning of Qatar Project

Successful completion of 24/7 smart city water quality monitoring

Metir plc (AIM: MET), the leading global provider of fast response mobile and point-of-use water and environmental testing technology, is pleased to announce the successful commissioning of its project in Qatar, delivered for the state water authority Kahramaa, in partnership with Avanceon Limited ("Avanceon").

The project, which deploys Continuous Toxicity Monitors ("CTMs") located within the city's local water pumping station network, now provides a large part of Doha with round-the-clock monitoring of toxins in its potable water. Following successful completion of all performance testing, the system has transitioned into full operation in line with contractual obligations and technical specifications. The Company therefore expects to receive the balance of the project payment of £198,000 according to the terms of the contract in stage payments and the total no later than 60 days from this date.

The installation of the CTM network gives the city of Doha the confidence that it has the unique capability to constantly monitor the quality of its potable water with the most effective early warning system to detect the presence of toxins harmful to human health. The system is automatic, with water samples tested every few seconds at the last point before delivery to the local pipeline network, as opposed to delays caused by site periodic sampling and laboratory analysis.

The Company's CTM technology is proprietary and unique in the water testing sector, scientifically proven to be capable of alerting authorities to thousands of different water contaminants and toxins.

The Board view this technology as a significant future revenue and value driver for the Company and will be evaluating various countries, regions and different sectors to replicate this project in other cities and industrial sites as part of its business development for this product line.

Bob Moore, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Metir, commented:

"We are delighted to have achieved final commissioning on this landmark project, which showcases Metir's capability to deliver complex infrastructure in challenging environments. This milestone creates a business development cornerstone and underpins our CTM strategy for sustainable international growth and establishes a strong foothold in the Middle East.

We also extend our thanks to Avanceon, the local installation contractor, for their invaluable technical expertise and collaboration, which were instrumental in achieving this successful outcome. I look forward to sharing more about our expansion plans in this exciting area of business development."
