First Gold Exploration Inc. Acquires Package of Seven Rare Metal Projects in Southern British Columbia
Dec. 15, 2010 (Marketwire) --

LAVAL, QUEBEC -- (Marketwire) -- 12/15/10 -- First Gold Exploration Inc. (TSX VENTURE: EFG)(FRANKFURT: F12)(OTCQX: FGEXF) is pleased to announce that the Company has signed an agreement with Zimtu Capital Corp., Cathro Resources Corp. and Cazador Resources Ltd. (collectively the "Vendors") to acquire a 100% interest in seven rare earth element ("REE") and niobium properties in southeastern British Columbia.

The seven properties: the Kin, Trident, IRC, Munroe, Hiren, Claire, and Lindmark were acquired by the Vendors in 2009 after a detailed review of government lake sediment geochemistry databases and an assessment of geological environments prospective for REEs and rare metals. Targets were then refined using geology, airborne magnetics, known mineral prospects, access, and land use considerations. The projects cover some of the highest and most significant regional government geochemical results for REEs.

In 2010, the Vendors retained TerraLogic Exploration Inc. to complete a first pass exploration assessment of the properties for their REE and niobium potential. Highlights from the 2010 prospecting, rock and silt sampling programs were as follows:

Trident

Prospecting verified the presence of widespread syenite intrusions over 10 km long by up to 1 km wide at Trident Mountain. Most importantly, a total of eight rock and boulder samples collected in 2010 returned greater than 0.10% Nb2O5 (niobium oxide) with one grab sample from outcrop returning 2.82% Nb2O5 and 500 g/t Ta2O5 (tantalum oxide). Four boulder samples also returned greater than 0.30% TREO (total rare earth oxides) with one mafic intrusive boulder sample returning 2.81% TREO.

Kin

Prospecting results to date at the Kin property are very encouraging with four syenite boulder samples over a 700 x 700 meter area returning up to 5.26% TREO(total rare earth oxides) and 2.7% Nb2O5. Silt samples from the property are also exceedingly anomalous. Out of 102 silt samples collected from all seven of the Vendor's rare metal projects in 2010, the single highest value of 2622 ppm TREE (total rare earth elements) was returned from this drainage. The sum of the boulder and silt anomalies indicates excellent prospective regions up-hill and up-ice within underexplored areas proximal to and/or on strike with- the Trident Property, located 10 kilometers to the northwest.

IRC

Nine rock samples were collected in 2010 with three of the samples returning greater than 0.20% TREO. The best sample, a zeolite altered syenite, returned 0.30% TREO (total rare earth oxide) and 0.52% Nb2O5. This sample was a more anomalous version typical of 0.3-2m wide syenite dykes that crisscross through the mafic alkaline host rocks in this and other parts of the Ice River Complex. This project is immediately adjacent to the Ice River REE-Nb-Base Metals Project operated by Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (TSX.V: EPL).

All seven properties acquired were initially staked based on highly anomalous RGS stream-silt anomalies and prospective regional geology. Four of the properties, the Trident, Kin, IRC, and Hiren are part of, or proximal to, large alkaline intrusive complexes with established potential for REE and niobium mineralization.

In British Columbia, carbonatites, nepheline and sodalite syenites gneisses and related alkaline rocks are found in a broad zone which is parallel to, and on either side of the Rocky Mountain Trench (Pell, 1989). This belt has been labeled the "Rocky Mountain Rare Metal Belt." A map showing the locations of all seven of the projects will be posted on the company's website at: http://www.firstgoldexploration.com. Together the seven properties encompass 20,600 hectares.

First Gold has the option to earn a 100% interest in the seven properties by making the following cash and share payments to the Vendors: (i) $25,000 on signing; (ii) $100,000 and 2,000,000 common shares on TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX.V") acceptance; (iii) 1,000,000 common shares on the first anniversary; and (iv)1,000,000 common shares on the second anniversary. During the term of the agreement First Gold shall ensure that the claims are maintained in good standing. The Vendors will retain a 2% Net Smelter Royalty ("NSR") on the properties; 1% of which can be purchased by First Gold for C$1 million and the second 1% of which can be purchased by First Gold for C$5 million. The transaction is subject to acceptance by the TSX.V.

The technical information in this news release has been reviewed by Jarrod Brown, P.Geo of Terralogic Exploration Inc., consultant to First Gold and a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.

Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.

Curlew Lake Resources Inc. Announces Preparations Are Underway to Drill Another Well in Fairydell
LANGLEY, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Dec. 15, 2010 (Marketwire) -- Curlew Lake Resources Inc. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:CWQ)(PINK SHEETS:CWLXF) announces preparations are underway to drill another well on Company lands in the Fairydell-Bon Accord area of Alberta. Company petroleum and natural gas leases in this area present multiple horizon opportunities for oil and/or gas development, following encountering gas in the Ellerslie and Upper Manville at Curlew-Lake FBA 2-16-57-24. Seismic and geological mapping has yielded one seismic shot point location in LSD 9 of Section 14 in Twp. 57, Rge 24 W4M and the site has been surveyed and is being licenses as a New Pool Wildcat oil and/or gas well. There are a number of operators with pipelines in the area and Fairydell Bon Accord infrastructure will keep production and delivery cost modest. The area has seen a number of impressive discoveries in the Ellerslie and/or Basel Quart formations to the south and east of the proposed well. It is expected that drilling will commence in early January, 2011.

Proposed 3-D geophysical surveys, together with sonic logs from the 2-16 exploration hole, may greatly enhance the value of Curlew lake's significant land package in this area. Confirmation of the Leduc reef at 2-16 provides our exploration team with the data to move updip in the geological column in pursuit of Leduc and Nisku oil and other potentially productive formations.

Additional information on Fairydell and many other Company projects can be found on the corporate website.

On behalf of the Board of Directors

Robert B. Pincombe, President

Western Lithium to Purchase Royalties and Mineral Property Titles From Western Uranium
RENO, NEVADA, Dec. 15, 2010 (Marketwire) -- Western Lithium USA Corporation ("Western Lithium" or "WLC") (TSX VENTURE:WLC)(PINKSHEETS:WLCDF) and Western Uranium Corporation ("Western Uranium" or "WUC") (TSX VENTURE:WUC)(PINKSHEETS:WURNF) have reached an agreement in principle for the purchase, by WLC, of Western Energy Development Corporation ("WEDC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of WUC that holds royalties and titles for substantially all of the Kings Valley mineral property holdings in Nevada. The parties have agreed that WLC will pay to WUC Cdn$6.85 million in WLC shares as consideration for the transfer of WEDC.

The transaction is designed to transfer all of the lithium properties out of WUC's portfolio, and represents the culmination of a spin-out process that started when WLC was initially formed as a subsidiary of WUC. WUC will now be able to focus more fully on growth through acquisitions and mergers, investments, and exploration globally and with more of a diversified commodities approach.

As a result of this transaction, the existing lease and royalty arrangements between the two companies on the King's Valley property, including a Net Smelter Return of 1.5% and Net Profits Royalty of 3.5% on any lithium project that WLC developed, are eliminated. WLC gains full control of the Kings Valley property claims, excluding the Albisu gold exploration target noted below and a proposed royalty to be granted to Cameco Global Exploration II Ltd. ("Cameco") solely in respect of uranium as described below, thereby improving the corporate structure for WLC to develop its Stage I lithium deposit. The agreement also eliminates the need for continuing future lease payments by WLC of US$4 million.

Details of the Transaction




-- WLC will purchase 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of WEDC,
thereby acquiring all of WUC's direct and indirect interest in the Kings
Valley mineral property, including mineral titles, leases, data and
royalties. The Albisu gold property, located at the northern end of the
Kings Valley property, and the Treeline Uranium exploration project,
located in New Mexico, both of which are currently held by WEDC, will be
transferred out of WEDC before completion of the transaction.

-- The purchase price will be Cdn$6.85 million, to be paid through the
issue by WLC of 5,855,000 WLC common shares at a deemed price of
Cdn$1.17.

-- WUC's Strategic Alliance with Cameco, related to the exploration and
development of uranium properties, will be concluded as a related part
of the transaction with WLC, for consideration of Cdn$2.5 million to be
paid by WUC to Cameco and the grant to Cameco of a 20% gross overriding
royalty over the Kings Valley mineral property solely in respect of
uranium.

-- As part of the transaction, WUC has agreed to dispose, in due course, of
its common shares in the capital of WLC following completion of the
transaction in one or more block trades or off-market transactions until
it is no longer an insider (ie. holds less than 10% of outstanding
shares), and until it completes such disposition to refrain from voting
against management nominees to the WLC board of directors and to vote in
favour of any arm's length third party change of control transaction
proposed by WLC's management.



The transaction is subject to negotiation and settlement of definitive agreements, the termination of the Strategic Alliance Agreement, completion of due diligence by WLC and all requisite third party approvals, including stock exchange and securities approvals.

Western Lithium is developing the Kings Valley, Nevada lithium deposit into potentially one of the world's largest(1) strategic, scalable and reliable sources of high quality lithium carbonate. The Company is positioning itself as a major U.S.-based supplier to support the rising global demand for lithium carbonate that is expected from the increased use of hybrid/electric vehicles.

Western Uranium Corporation is a mineral exploration company with properties in Argentina, Nevada, and New Mexico and an earn-in agreement with Renaissance Gold Inc. (formerly AuEx Ventures, Inc.) for the Baza gold-copper project in Spain. The Company has its head office in Vancouver, Canada; its executive management team is based in Reno, Nevada.

(1) Western Lithium has completed National Instrument 43-101 resource estimates on two portions of the property, one of which is envisioned for the initial stage of mine development. These resources cover part of the mineralization from a historical estimate of 11 million tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) prepared by Chevron Resources Corp. in the 1980s that encompasses all of the King's Valley lithium lens deposits identified to date, and ranks in size behind deposits in Bolivia (47 million tonnes LCE), Chile (37 million tonnes LCE), North Carolina (14 million tonnes LCE) and the DRC (12 million tonnes LCE). Source: R. Keith Evans, 2010; Roskill Information Services Ltd., 2009; and company disclosures. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources under National Instrument 43-101, the Company is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources and the historical estimate should not be relied upon.

Global Ecology Corporation Announces New Water Treatment Venture in South Africa
New Subsidiary, GEC Africa to Market GEC's MobilePureWater System

Dec. 15, 2010 (Marketwire) --

MONTCLAIR, NJ -- (Marketwire) -- 12/15/10 -- Global Ecology Corporation (PINKSHEETS: GLEC) (OTCQB: GLEC) ("GEC") announced today that it has signed a joint venture agreement with Isongo Water (Pty.) Ltd. of Pietermaritzburg, South Africa to establish a subsidiary for the sale of the company's Mobile PureWater System ("MPWS") and its licensed mineral solution IMS 1000™.

GEC and Isongo will form a jointly owned subsidiary of GEC to be known as GEC Africa to pursue the sale of the water purification systems and the mineral solution throughout South Africa and neighboring countries. As part of the arrangement, Isongo will be granted an exclusive license for the sole benefit of GEC Africa for the sale and distribution of the MPWS units. The intention of the parties is for GEC Africa to have its own manufacturing facility for the water systems and IMS1000.

EyeCity.com's CEO Addresses the Public With 4th Quarter Updates
Dec. 15, 2010 (GlobeNewswire) --
ORLANDO, Fla., Dec. 15, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EyeCity.com, Inc. announced today that the Corporation has been engaged with on-going negotiations with a private company whose name has not yet been released. Over the past several weeks, budgetary and share structure concerns have been addressed with the advice from corporate council, protecting the interest of EyeCity.com and the shareholders.

When asked about the direction of EyeCity.com, Mr. Wilson commented to the fact that the New Year will be a year of "Clear Direction." Mr. Wilson summarized this term by adding "I want our shareholders to know that ICTY will not alter the business model during the course of the New Year. Having a clear direction and sustained business, EyeCity.com will have a dynamic year."

Another goal in EyeCity.com's year end plan is to finalize Pink Sheets compliancy and to become Pink Sheets current information. Current financials are being reviewed along with other regulatory documentation that should make this short term goal a reality. All of the corporate filings will be handled by corporate council to ensure the highest level of trading capacity.

Mr. Bradley Wilson, CEO of EyeCity.com, stated, "During the course of the roller coaster trading, I've come to understand the frustration of many shareholders. I take full responsibility for the delays in forward progression as previously stated in past releases. But, these delays do come with merit. I have a fiduciary obligation to this organization and the shareholders alike. Under no circumstances will I jeopardize the integrity or the credibility of this company for the sole purpose of unwarranted dilution of the common stock."

Mr. Wilson further stated, "The new acquisition will allow EyeCity.com a shared revenue stream that will greatly increase our market cap while providing a foundation for future growth. As CEO, my perseverance will prevail until each and every person that believes in EyeCity.com feels confident in their positions."

New Generation Biofuels Announces Contract With Baltimore City to Test and Evaluate the Company's Renewable, Clean Biofuels Technology in Institutional Boilers
Previous Test Burns Demonstrated Significant Reduction of Harmful Emissions

Dec. 15, 2010 (Marketwire) --

COLUMBIA, MD -- (Marketwire) -- 12/15/10 -- New Generation Biofuels Holdings, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: NGBF) (OTCQB: NGBF), a leading developer of biofuels technology and products, announced today a contract with the City of Baltimore to conduct a Phase 2 evaluation program of the Company's proprietary biofuel for use in institutional boilers over a one year period. The maximum volume for the program is capped at 440,000 gallons.

"We are very pleased to be moving into Phase 2 of our program with the City of Baltimore to perform long-term tests and evaluations of our biofuel in several of Baltimore's institutional boilers," said Miles F. Mahoney, President and Chief Executive Officer. "The City of Baltimore is leading the nation in the development and implementation of 'green' initiatives, including the reduction of harmful greenhouse gases. We are excited and proud to be a partner with the City in that effort. The emission-reduction capabilities of our biofuel have already been demonstrated in Phase 1 of the program and we look forward to demonstrating our fuel's capabilities during this extended test burn."

The Phase 1 program demonstrated excellent operability and stability of New Generation Biofuels' second generation biofuel, in addition to showing both a reduction in nitrogen oxide (NOx) and sulfur oxide (SOx) when compared to both fossil diesel as well as biodiesel. Tests at Eastern Health Center's Columbia boiler with a Sun-Ray burner saw a reduction in NOx of over 40% and SOx reduction of over 90%. Tests at Pimlico Police Training Center's HB Smith cast iron boiler with a Power-Flame burner saw a NOx reduction of over 60%. The Phase 2 program will determine the long term operational impact of the renewable biofuel.

In a press release issued today by the Office of the Mayor of Baltimore City, Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake noted that the Company's biofuel has already demonstrated "huge" reductions in pollutants during the Phase 1 testing and that continued success in this final stage of testing will mean a go-ahead for the City to begin the use of the cleaner burning vegetable-based biofuel technology in city buildings.

New Generation Biofuels' Product Information
New Generation Biofuels' biofuel is a precision blended product made from new or recycled plant oils or animal fats. The Company's biofuel is readily usable at 100% strength as a replacement for diesel, #2 heating oil, kerosene and other fuel oils. The Company's biofuel may also be blended with heating oil or used in co-firing applications with coal. Use of the Company's biofuel does not require material equipment modifications. Other benefits include significantly lower emissions than traditional fuels, reductions in overall greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. NGBF's biofuel has been accepted by the EPA under RFS2 and meets many state biomass definitions. Additional information about New Generation Biofuels' biofuel products is available at http://newgenerationbiofuels.com/product.php.

About The City of Baltimore
The Baltimore City Department of Public Works Energy Office is implementing energy efficiency and renewable energy projects at City facilities to reduce energy costs and carbon emissions and to improve air quality. Already in place are energy efficiency measures for buildings, installation of LED lights, and utilization of methane gas from renewable sources. Future projects will include expansion of energy efficiency applications from buildings to water and waste water operations; reduction in use of fossil fuels; and increasing solar and other renewable energy applications. Through reduced purchases of electric power, steam, natural gas, chilled water and reduced maintenance costs the city realizes a savings of $5 million per year.

About New Generation Biofuels Holdings, Inc.
New Generation Biofuels is a renewable fuels provider. The Company holds an exclusive license for North America, Central America and the Caribbean to commercialize proprietary technology to manufacture alternative biofuels from plant oils and animal fats that it markets as a new class of biofuel for power generation, commercial and industrial heating and marine use. The Company believes that its proprietary biofuel can provide a lower cost, renewable alternative energy source with significantly lower emissions than traditional fuels.

JBI, Inc. Plastic2Oil Process Commences Commercial Operation
Dec. 15, 2010 (GlobeNewswire) --
THOROLD, Ontario, Dec. 15, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, JBI, Inc. (JBI) (OTCQX:JBII) announces that it has entered into a formal Consent Order with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Region 9, which will allow the Company to immediately run its Plastic2Oil process commercially and begin construction of an additional processor at its Niagara Falls, New York P2O facility.

Following receipt of the formal emission stack test report in early October 2010, JBI began working with the DEC to complete and submit an application for an Air State Facility permit, which was finalized and submitted in November 2010. On December 2, 2010, JBI was provided with a working copy Draft Air Permit. In addition to the air permit requirement, the Albany division of the DEC advised JBI that they would be required to submit a more specific Beneficial Use Determination (BUD), which JBI successfully completed and submitted to the DEC on October 22, 2010. In a letter mailed on December 1, 2010, JBI was advised by the DEC that a solid waste permit would be required.

The Consent Order was offered by the DEC during a meeting on Friday December 3, 2010, where representatives from the DEC, JBI and State Senator George Maziarz convened to discuss permitting of the Plastic2Oil process. It was relayed to JBI by DEC Albany that a solid waste permit was required and would allow JBI's business to expand to include feedstock not covered within the limited scope of a BUD. A Consent Order was executed yesterday. The Consent Order allows JBI to commercially operate the Plastic2Oil factory in Niagara Falls. This Consent Order bridges the time between now and when JBI acquires an Air State Facility permit and a Part 360 Solid Waste permit.

"I am very pleased to have had the opportunity to assist JBI with the permitting process with DEC," said Senator George D. Maziarz (R,C – Newfane). "This is a company that is implementing green strategies and innovative recycling methods. Embracing environmentally and ecologically friendly technology such as this will reap long-term rewards."

JBI is grateful for the assistance of staff at NYSDEC Region 9 office, Senator Maziarz and Thompson, and the City of Niagara Falls who have been very supportive of the Company's Plastic2Oil initiative.

About JBI, Inc.

JBI, Inc. is an alternative Oil and Gas company. JBI developed a process that converts waste plastic into fuel (Plastic2Oil). JBI scaled a 1kg process to a 20MT commercial processor in less than 1 year. For more information please review www.plastic2oil.com

Hiru Corp (HIRU) to Participate In China Government R&D Veterinary Surveillance
NANCHANG, CHINA, Dec. 15, 2010 (Marketwire) -- Company representatives from Hiru Corporation's (PINK SHEETS:HIRU) (www.hirucorporation.com) subsidiary Shuangshi AHP Co. are engaged in discussions with China based provincially-ranked directors of veterinary surveillance in Nanchang.

This venue includes directors from local governments who represent a driving force regarding the local veterinary policy. Shuangshi AHP is a subsidiary of HIRU. Representatives used this opportunity to invite several government representatives to visit Shuangshi AHP's facilities. The reason for this invitation is three fold. One to learn about the issues and gain insights into developments regarding the veterinary policy within the local governments.

Secondly, HIRU management also expects that this invitation and the subsequent R&D will gain stronger exposure for Shuangshi AHP and its manufacturing and research expertise with the local governments for the future cooperation. In China government represents the driving force behind mandatory vaccinations in the veterinary field.

Thirdly, Shuangshi AHP plans to continue to participate in additional such venues and increase the awareness of the company with the governments and farmers.

Lastly, HIRU's recent tour of Ganzhou, Yichun and Jian to evaluate agricultural developments and conduct market surveys to determine which of Shuangshi's cutting edge animal feed additives and vaccines are most needed in these markets.

Between the samples left with several major companies in these regions, plus the new contacts made at the company's recent large-scale product promotion fair, management views this as a substantial event, and sees the momentum building in HIRU as ground breaking game changer which could make 2011 a blockbuster year for HIRU and its exciting subsidiaries.

Cryo-Cell International Responds to Announcement of Intent to Acquire One of the Company's Global License Affiliates
Company's Global Network of Twenty-Six Licensed Markets is Solid and Strong, Demonstrating Unprecedented Expansion

Dec. 13, 2010 (GlobeNewswire) --
OLDSMAR, Fla., Dec. 13, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cryo-Cell International, Inc. (OTCBB:CCEL) (the "Company"), one of the world's largest and most established family cord blood banks and global stem cell innovators, today responded to a recent announcement of intent by a prospective acquirer to purchase one of the Company's global license affiliates (the "Licensee"), an independent company, for a purported maximum purchase price of $17.84 million. Details of the proposed acquisition were outlined in a binding letter of intent submitted by the proposed acquirer, a relative newcomer to the private family cord bank industry, with its Form 8-K filing to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on December 8, 2010.

Under terms of Cryo-Cell's binding license agreement, the Company believes that the proposed acquisition would give Cryo-Cell the right to terminate its exclusive license which, in turn, would prohibit continued operations by the licensee under the Cryo-Cell trademarks. The licensee's market leadership, built exclusively on the Cryo-Cell brand, has emerged over time since the agreement was first formalized in June, 2001. The Company intends to attempt to maintain its exclusive U-Cord license with the licensee.

"Cryo-Cell's global network is solid and strong; demonstrating unprecedented expansion," stated Mercedes A. Walton, Chairman & CEO. "In fiscal year 2010 alone, the Company increased our global footprint by ten new markets for a corporate global network of twenty-six licensed markets. Cryo-Cell expects that global operations will continue to contribute positively to the Company's performance in fiscal year 2011."

Cryo-Cell reported net income of $3.0 million year to date through third quarter of fiscal 2010, or $0.26 per basic common share and profitability in seven of the last eight quarters. As of August 31, 2010, the Company had $9.0 million in cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and other investments. The Company had no long-term debt at the end of the quarter. On December 10, 2010, Cryo-Cell shares closed at $2.40 per share.

China Sun Group Provides Updates to the 470 Tons Lithium Iron Phosphate (LIP) Contract Signed in November and Secures Additional Raw Material Supply
Dec. 13, 2010 (PR Newswire) --

(OTC Bulletin Board: CSGH) ("China Sun Group" or the "Company"), a vertically integrated supplier of raw materials for rechargeable lithium–ion (Li-ion) batteries in China, today provides updated information regarding the contract with Henan Huanyu Sai Er New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. ("Sai Er New Energy"), a subsidiary of Henan Huanyu Power Source Co., Ltd.("Huanyu"), for 470 tons of lithium iron phosphate (LIP) signed in November (the "Contract"), and secures additional raw material supply.

The Contract provides for monthly tonnage delivery to Sai Er New Energy, amounting to a total of 470 tons of lithium iron phosphate in calendar year 2011. In addition to 60 tons of LIP materials sold to Huanyu, China Sun already has 530 tons of LIP orders, expected to be delivered before the end of December 2011. According to the recent China domestic average sales price of LIP of US$ 24,000 per ton, this 530 tons of LIP sales is valued at approximately US$ 12.7 million. The actual sales revenue will depend on the final outcome of the negotiations.

In order to establish the work plan for 2011 and accelerate the expansion of strategic objectives, China Sun Group recently hosted the Dalian Xinyang High-Tech 2011 Annual Conference for its employees, including two seminars: technology research and development and the acceleration of the process of strategic expansion, one month ahead of schedule. This conference greatly increased motivation of the management teams and employees.

During the annual conference, the Company's management also developed a solution to maintain stable supply and high quality of input material for the manufacture of LIP products due to increased LIP demand that has resulted in recent sales contracts exceeding previous expectations. After a careful review of potential LIP raw material suppliers, China Sun signed with two suppliers, Guangxi BMB Science and Technology Co., Ltd. ("BMB") and Hubei Haoyuan Material Technology Company. ("Haoyuan material").

Under the agreement, BMB and Haoyuan material will supply a total of 350 tons and 240 tons of iron phosphate materials respectively to China Sun Group during the calendar year 2011, which accounts for approximately 84% of China Sun's total planned purchasing volume during the year.

"We are honored to be in a strategic alliance with Sai Er New Energy and Huanyu and to work closely with our partner in terms of the production process for lithium ion battery development. We are confident that we can efficiently expand our production capacity in the near future to meet the requirements of Sai Er New Energy and Huanyu's projects. We are also pleased to have signed two new high-quality suppliers, which will further enable us to secure access to sufficient raw material," commented Mr. Guosheng Fu, CEO of China Sun Group. "As the Chinese government continues to support the development of energy-saving cars and other sustainable products and technologies, we remain positive that we will be successful in positioning China Sun Group and continue growing. Our goal is to establish a complete supply chain for materials, components and the finished lithium ion phosphate product, which is the LIP battery."

Imperial Resources, Inc.: Completes Debt Conversion on Highly Favorable Terms
Dec. 13, 2010 (Business Wire) -- Imperial Resources, Inc. (the "Company", "Imperial") today announced that in line with an announcement of a Letter of Intent on November 29, 2010 (“LOI”), the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Imperial Oil & Gas, Inc. ("IOG") have entered into an agreement dated December 10, 2010 with Coach Capital LLC, (“Coach”) for a debt to equity conversion of a promissory note and its accrued coupon owed to Coach by IOG.

Under the agreement Coach had an option to convert it’s debt into equity of Imperial. Coach immediately exercised this option the same day, the debt otherwise being redeemable in full at any time, at the Company’s sole election.

The conversion transforms the Company’s balance sheet, eliminating the $900,000.00 liability, plus accrued interest of $42,534.25 to the date of the agreement (together, the “Debt”). This, at a stroke, removes all material indebtedness in preparation for the execution of the Company’s aggressive growth strategy, currently centered on the Chisholm Trail Resource Play and Salt Water Disposal Well opportunities, as referred to in the Company’s announcement of November 24, 2010.

The conversion has come about as a result of an approach by Coach, who subsequently performed due diligence on Imperial. The Company is delighted that Coach has chosen to share in the prospective upside in the Company’s common stock that may result from the Company’s growth strategy.

The Company believes that the terms of the conversion of the Debt, renegotiated over the past few weeks since LOI, are highly favorable; only 1,625,059 shares of common stock have been issued to Coach at $0.58 per share to satisfy the Debt, a very reasonable discount to market. The 1,625,059 shares issued represent less than 4% of common stock in issue after conversion, compared to the expectation of around 5% in the LOI. In addition, Coach has dropped its demand for additional warrants as contemplated in the LOI.

The Company is delighted to have concluded this agreement on such favorable terms. It regards the conversion by Coach as an excellent endorsement of the Company’s potential.

Robert Durbin, CEO of IOG, said: “I would like to thank Coach and appreciate their confidence in the company going forward. This should be a very favorable trade in the long run for all involved.”

About Imperial Resources, Inc.

Imperial Resources, Inc., through its wholly owned subsidiary, Imperial Oil & Gas, Inc. has a highly focused, risk-averse strategy of building a substantial portfolio of oil and gas assets through its access to niche, low risk oil and gas opportunities in the onshore U.S. Imperial aims to exploit projects which can deliver cash flows normally associated with higher risk projects but without exposure to high risk failure rates.

Continued Increasing Demand for Oil Reinforces Topaz Plan
Dec. 13, 2010 (Marketwire) --

DENTON, TX -- (Marketwire) -- 12/13/10 -- Topaz Resources, Inc. (OTCBB: TOPZ), an independent oil and gas company("Topaz" or the "Company"), today announced that current and forecasted demand and prices of oil are providing significant reinforcement to the Topaz acquisition and development plan.

Resurgence in the global demand for oil has seen the price for oil not only remain over $80 per barrel, but climb to over $87. Global oil demand is strong; in fact, it has never been stronger. Macquarie Capital recently noted in November that oil demand during the third quarter of this year was up 3.7 percent, the fourth-straight quarter of growth and expects global oil demand to grow by 2.3 percent on a year-over-year basis in 2011.

Continued growth for demand of oil and higher oil prices also is supported by the International Energy Agency, whose long-term outlook predicts that global energy demand will grow by 36 percent between 2008 and 2035.

The continuing global growing demand for oil and high price of oil both have validated and reinforced the Topaz strategy to add and develop oil properties in the north and west Texas regions. Topaz recently has announced the consolidation into Topaz of its North Texas shallow oil project, which comprises 543.69 acres with a history of proved producing oil wells, located in Wichita County in North Texas and where it has commenced both multi well work over and drilling programs, and the consolidation of 750 net acres in the oil leg of the Barnett Shale in Montague County also in North Texas.

About Topaz Resources

Topaz Resources is an independent oil and gas company focusing on production, acquisitions and developmental drilling opportunities within proven producing areas of north, central and west Texas. The Company's website can be found at www.topazresourcesinc.com.
