Purio Invited to UNEP-Sponsored Conference, Nairobi, Kenya
Tuesday January 6, 2009, 4:35 pm EST

BLAINE, WA--(MARKET WIRE)--Jan 6, 2009 -- Purio (OTC BB:PURO.OB - News) today confirmed that it has received an invitation to present and demonstrate its patented technology and related equipment at an upcoming world conference to be held in Nairobi, Kenya in February of 2009, sponsored by the United Nations Environment Program.

"Purio has obviously attracted the attention of UNEP in that the invitation extended to Purio was unsolicited and limited to 25 companies worldwide," said Daryl English, President of Purio, who went on to say, "I thoroughly considered the benefits of our attendance at the program with the offsetting considerations related to pressing and more immediate development of commerce in closer locations."

"It is well known that the Continent of Africa is experiencing a water crisis in some regions and we will make ourselves available to address the outcries of those regions as soon as we are able to as a company. We are already engaged in discussions regarding our entry into West Africa and, as expected, we are finding that much coordination is required between the receiving nations, sponsoring agencies from which most or all of the money is to come, and our company," explains Mr. English.

"Purio is already receiving a steady inflow of inquiries from around the world and each situation presents us with an economic opportunity. Our focus at this time is to develop cash flow at the least expense and we feel that the company is in a position to first capitalize on the need for our equipment here in North America. Recent meetings with developers and utility companies in British Columbia and Alberta have made us aware of not only a huge demand for our technology, but a willingness by land developers and other parties to consider the Purio technology as their technology of first choice. Our job now is to provide the equipment in a form that is able to satisfy the need," continues English.

"These challenging economic times are placing demands on the management of Purio to make tough choices both in the best interest of our stockholders and in the economic interests of the company. We have decided to focus our attention on the most immediate avenues to commerce and to respectfully decline the invitation to Nairobi at this time. We would welcome the opportunity to consider a similar invitation at a future date if that might come to pass."
