VGPR NEWS -- LONDON, Dec 03, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- VEGA PROMOTIONAL SYSTEMS, INC.
(PINKSHEETS: VGPR) announced today it has entered into a Joint Venture Agreement
to build a biomass production facility in t! he South American country of Brazil.
The name of the venture is Biomass of the Americas, LTD.

The Joint Venture Project will utilize special alternative energy technology
called torrefaction. Torrefaction converts most forms of biomass waste into
thermally treated biomass powder that is then turned into bio-coal briquettes
for shipment to the end user.

There is a tremendous demand from European and American pulverized coal plants
capable of burning bio-coal as a green fuel to meet carbon cap and trade
regulations and renewable portfolio standards for power generation.

Bio-coal has a high energy density of over 10,000 BTU's per pound and is
considered a renewable energy fuel that meets the Renewable Portfolio Standards
and renewable energy credits in the United States. The retail price of the
bio-coal in the United States is between $135 and $145 per metric ton. In
Europe, the price is approximately $100 per metric ton highe! r than the price in
the United States.

The cost to build the Brazil facility will be approximately $11 million (USD).
When completed, the facility will generate approximately $7 million in annual
revenue. The Company's plan is to begin construction during the first quarter of
2010.

Biomass of the Americas, LTD plans to expand into other South American countries
once the Brazil plant is operational.

The Company will provide additional details concerning the site of the facility
in Brazil as soon as lease negotiations are completed.
