TOWACO, N.J., Aug 16, 1999 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Haber, Inc. (OTC: Bulletin Board: HABE) announced today the buyout of Lodestone Partners, Ltd. for 960,000 shares of Haber, Inc. restricted treasury common stock.
In the early 1980's, Lodestone Partners, Ltd. invested approximately $1.5 million into Haber, Inc. for the development of certain extractive metallurgical processes including the Haber Gold Process (HGP) in exchange for royalty rights for the use of these processes in the United States fora limited time.
Haber, Inc. now retains all the rights to these processes. The other metallurgical extraction processes include one for silver and another for high-purity manganese, a strategic metal.
Both parties felt that the number of shares was fair, given the upside potential of the Haber, Inc. stock and the time limitation on the royaltypayments.
This acquisition is related to Haber, Inc.'s July 6th announcement thatit is seeking other licensees for the HGP. In March of this year, Haber made a non-exclusive license agreement with Orex Gold Mines Corporation for the HGP but it is also in discussion with other US and international mining companies. Haber made the offer to Lodestone Partners in order to negotiate more easily with these other mining companies and it is anticipated that this will enable Haber, Inc. to more quickly commence other license agreements.
The HGP is an environmentally safe process that extracts gold in significantly less time than is possible with cyanide and it has higher recovery rates than cyanide. The HGP passed California's Department of Health Services Acute Aquatic Toxicity Bioassay to qualify as non-toxic. Haber's web site (www.haberscience.com) describes the HPG in greater detail.
Haber, Inc. is a high-technology process development company with proprietary processes in extractive metallurgy and electrochemical separationstechnology.
