Desert Control Partners with Oasis Date for Liquid Natural Clay Deployment to Conserve Water Across 160 Acres of Premium Medjool Date Palms

Sandnes, Norway, 15 January 2025 - Desert Control AS ("DSRT" or "the Company"),

a leader in soil and water conservation technology, has entered into an

agreement through its U.S. subsidiary, Desert Control Americas Inc., with Oasis

Date, North America's largest date grower and processor. This collaboration will

deploy Desert Control's Liquid Natural Clay (LNC) solution across 160 acres of

organic Medjool date palms at Oasis Date's Corn Springs Ranch in California.

The deployment, valued at NOK 1.5 million, follows a successful pilot project

launched in July 2024 for 13 acres of date palms. The pilot demonstrated

significant improvements in water retention, soil health, and overall

performance. This expanded 160-acre deployment, scheduled for completion in Q1

2025, represents a key milestone in scaling Desert Control's innovative soil and

water conservation technology across Oasis Date's operations.

"Oasis Date is setting the standard for sustainable and regenerative

agriculture, and we are proud to collaborate on this initiative," said Ole

Kristian Sivertsen, CEO of Desert Control. "By implementing Liquid Natural Clay,

we can help Oasis Date conserve water, improve soil health, and enhance yields,

reinforcing their position as a leader in environmentally conscious farming."

Oasis Date manages over 5,000 acres of date farms, producing over 1 billion

dates annually. As the majority supplier for Natural Delights®, the #1 Medjool

date brand in North America, Oasis Date leads the way in sustainable agriculture

with its commitment to regenerative organic farming. Notably, it is the world's

first and only Regenerative Organic Certified® date farm, embodying its

dedication to environmental sustainability and farmworker fairness.

"Oasis Date is a strong leader in their industry, and their dedication to

sustainability and regenerative farming practices aligns perfectly with our

vision," said Marty Weems, Managing Director of Desert Control Americas. "We are

honored to work with Oasis Date utilizing our soil and water conservation

technology to reduce operational costs and safeguard the long-term prosperity of

their ranch and farming operations."

Desert Control's LNC technology transforms sandy, fast-draining soils into

fertile, water-retentive ground, reducing irrigation needs while supporting

healthy plant growth. This partnership also holds the potential for broader

adoption of LNC technology across Oasis Date's extensive operations in

California and Arizona.
