(COMTEX) B: Semper Resources Corp. Announces Major Commitment to Soil B: Semper Resources Corp. Announces Major Commitment to Soil Reclamation Projects LOS ANGELES, Aug 31, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Semper Resources Corp. (OTC BB:SRCR) (www.semperresources.com) today announced that substantial progress has been made toward positioning the company in key reclamation sectors. Norad Corp., under an acquisition agreement with Semper, has issued an Intent to Proceed to acquire a 20-acre contaminated soil remediation and recycling facility in central California. Norad plans to develop this site as a showcase facility to launch community- friendly soil reclamation sites throughout the United States. This long-range program is representative of the cost-effective, people- friendly answers to environmental problems approach that is central to the emerging Semper culture. Semper has recently negotiated the acquisition of a large-scale, documented soil-washing system that it plans to add to the processing capacity of this location. Semper has also initiated negotiations to acquire an additional 40 acres to add to the capacity of this location. Norad also disclosed that it has received notice that, as a result of a major DOE/EPA sponsored testing program, its IESCRETE(TM)soil stabilization and solidification technology was selected as one of the best of 60 possible technologies suitable for capping mine tailings. Norad further announced that it has entered into a joint venture agreement with Infinite '99 Ltd. of Calgary, Alberta, Canada in which Infinite and Norad will exploit IESCRETE(TM) internationally. In addition to significant mining industry uses, IESCRETE(TM) has many potential applications in the oil industry. Infinite will bring valuable oil industry contacts and operating experience to the joint venture that will be majority owned by Norad. Both companies have been developing overseas markets for this technology and expect their combined efforts to mature more quickly and cost effectively. "Semper is dedicated to establishing a global presence as a major source of innovative and cost effective alternatives to the fading U.S. land fill mentality. During our formative years, our strategy should bring a number of viable and very capable companies into our group providing operating and technology platforms for profitable growth and expansion," stated Galen Loven, CEO of Semper Resources. "Success in this field requires a strong operating base and a sense of community, from which we can demonstrate and enhance recycling and reclamation processes designed to not only resolve pressing environmental issues, but also enhance real and intrinsic land values. These announcements by companies who are willing to bring their resources to Semper are indicative of both synergy and internal growth capacities of our roll up model. We anticipate that the pace of our growth will accelerate during the next year or two as we continue to expand the breadth and depth of our company and its presence as a complete `design-to-build' environmental services company."
