Borealis Exploration Limited Gibraltar Borealis Motor Manufacturing Limited, an indirect majority-owned subsidiary of Borealis Exploration Limited (NASD:BOREF, CDN:BSXC), announces that preliminary results for the Borealis Chorus Motor™ show significant improvements in performance over comparable electric motors. The new Borealis Chorus Motor™ provides the torque benefits associated with high-quality DC motors, but with the reliability, efficiency, weight and cost advantages of AC motors. A test model, built on a 10 hp, 2 pole, 215T frame, has shown locked rotor torque in excess of 150 lb ft in testing, nearly 250% of the locked rotor torque expected from a machine of this size. Locked rotor torque tests simulate the start-up torque required for traction motors. Borealis COO Isaiah Cox said, "The Borealis Chorus Motor™ represents a significant advance in motor design which will be of particular benefit for traction motors in elevators, cranes, locomotives, fork-lift trucks, and in the development of a very low emission passenger car. (LEV)" Final test results are expected by Summer 1999. The interim results are from an initial Alpha prototype. An improved Beta prototype is under construction. The Borealis Chorus Motor™ technology is protected by allowed and pending patents. Prototypes of the Borealis Chorus Motor™, including control parameters and dynamometer testing, are being developed and performed at NORCAT by Electro Windings Ltd. in conjunction with Borealis. Electro Windings Ltd. is an electric motor company based in Sudbury, Ontario. Electro Windings Ltd. has been working with Borealis on the development of the Chorus Motor™. NORCAT, the Northern Center for Advanced Technology, is a research and development facility in Sudbury, Ontario with a wide range of industrial and governmental clients. The development of the Borealis Chorus Motor™ has also been supported by Canada's IRAP, the Industrial Research Assistance Program. Borealis legal staff has determined that this press release is required in order to properly comport with our disclosure obligations under U.S., Ontario and Gibraltar securities disclosure requirements. Borealis Exploration Limited has 4,986,000 shares outstanding.

New electronic motor being developed in Sudbury By LISA GERVAIS/Star Staff Writer A Sudbury company, in collaboration with partners, is shifting into high gear as it continues to work on a motor spokesmen say will revolutionize the industry. George Muhr, manager of Electro Windings Ltd., of Sudbury, says between his company, Borealis Exploration Ltd. and American inventor Jonathan Edelson, 28, they're “rewriting the book on electric-motor theory.” So, what does all this mean? Muhr says if the motor continues to show excellent test results, it will one day be marketed and widely used in the mining and lumber sectors, and will create hundreds of local manufacturing jobs. In the long-term, Muhr says the motor may also make its way into North American passenger vehicles. Preliminary tests are going well, Muhr says. “I never expected in my wildest dreams that it would be that good.” John Klys, who brought the partners together with the National Research Council of Canada and the Northern Ontario Centre for Advanced Technology, says a Borealis Chorus 10-horsepower motor has been able to produce 25 horsepower. “We want to replace the DC (direct-current) motor that mines and the forestry industry use,” says Klys. The motor is going to be less expensive to produce, use fewer materials, be substantially lighter and be more efficient, he says. Muhr says if everything goes well, the motors could be used on surface or underground for things such as mining trucks and ore cars. “That's what we have the rights to.” “The Borealis Chorus Motor,” says Isaiah Cox , the chief operating officer of Borealis, “represents a significant advance in motor design which will be of particular benefit for traction motors in elevators, cranes, locomotives, fork-lift trucks, and in the development of a very low-emission passenger car.” Testing is continuing and Muhr hopes to soon build a Beta prototype, which will take anywhere from three months to one year to complete. “It's incredible what we have achieved,” says Muhr. “We had some ups and downs, but we hung in there,” says Klys.

Greetings all. I just got some Borealis shares and I'm going along for the ride. I believe they have the goods on revolutionizing electric motors and refrigeration in the near term, and power generation and steel production in the future. However, I think it's going to take a few more months for the shares to show some nice activity (although I hope I am wrong!). Their closest item to market is the Chorus Motor (TM), which should drastically change the electric motor market. Their Cool Chips are a touch further away ...probably a year I would guess, but maybe sooner. But these promise to revolutionize (i.e., do away with) the way things are cooled in our world. Exciting stuff. Could be the making of a new industrial juggernaut.
