 Natural Resources Research Institute - University of Minnesota - Duluth, Signs Agreement with EnviroScrub Technologies Corporation 28 May, 2003 Minneapolis, Minnesota EnviroScrub Technologies Corporation ("EnviroScrub") has signed an agreement with the Natural Resources Research Institute - University of Minnesota -- Duluth ("NRRI"). Under the agreement, NRRI (through its resources at the Coleraine Minerals Research Laboratory, UMD, and elsewhere) will provide research to help optimize EnviroScrub's Pahlman™ Process technology for demonstration of near-total Hg (mercury) capture and the regeneration of Pahlmanite™ sorbents. NRRI will also provide live NOx, SOx, and Hg (mercury) gas stream testing of new Pahlmanite™ sorbents at Minnesota Power's Boswell Generating Station at Cohasset, MN, in conjunction with their efforts to provide environmental research and solutions to the power generation industry. "These new-generation sorbents hold great promise in achieving total mercury capture from power plant stack gas emissions," says Dave Hendrickson, Director of NRRI's Coleraine Minerals Research Laboratory. "The NRRI research agreement will provide EnviroScrub with much-needed additional basic research capability for our technology. This alliance will increase EnviroScrub's speed to the commercial market and will enhance the value of the Pahlman™ technology," commented Kurt Steinbergs, EnviroScrub's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. NRRI's unique capabilities and expertise in the minerals area, iron ore processing, and geological studies relating to nonferrous and industrial minerals will enhance EnviroScrub's Pahlman™ Process in its ability to capture and remove NOx, SOx, and Hg (mercury) in its patented and proprietary dry scrubbing Pahlman™ Process. NRRI can be viewed on the web at www.nrri.umn.edu. EnviroScrub, a privately-held deployment-stage company based in Minneapolis, MN, licenses its patented and proprietary dry Pahlman™ Process NOx/SOx/Hg/PM 2.5 scrubbing technology to power generation and industrial plants worldwide. EnviroScrub plans to compete in the multi-billion dollar U.S. emissions-reduction-technology ("ERT") market with its first commercial-scale projects in 2003.
