OMAHA, Neb., June 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- CleanCore Solutions, Inc. (NYSE:ZONE) ("CleanCore" or the "Company") today announced that Tyler Hassen has been appointed Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and as a member of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board").

Most recently, he served as the Acting Assistant Secretary of Policy, Management & Budget at the U.S. Department of the Interior under Secretary Doug Burgum, and previously served as Chief Executive Officer of Basin Holdings, a diversified energy and industrial business. His experience navigating industrial operations, permitting processes, and strategic partnerships in these sectors will help position CleanCore Solutions to execute and transition the business to meet the growing AI infrastructure demand.

"Compute has become one of the most valuable resources in the world, and the demand for power, land and infrastructure it requires is unprecedented, and only continues to accelerate,"  said Tyler Hassen, newly appointed CEO. "We believe that our transition positions us to be a foundational player in the critical infrastructure that powers the AI economy."

The Company is actively evaluating additional development opportunities across rural and industrial areas of the United States, as it expands its pipeline to bring data centers and campuses online.
