NaturalNano Receives Additional New Funding for 2010
Dec. 7, 2009 (GlobeNewswire) --
ROCHESTER, N.Y., Dec. 7, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NaturalNano, Inc. (Pink Sheets:NNAN) (Frankfurt:N3N) Acting CEO and President James Wemett announced that NaturalNano has received funding sufficient to support the Company's core operating costs for most of 2010. "NaturalNano has spent 2009 refocusing and re-establishing its core business and this new financing is a major vote of confidence in the direction the Company is now headed." James Wemett continues, "NaturalNano has been fortunate to have the support of its financial partners for the necessary re-positioning work accomplished in 2009 and now we have additional support from a NYC firm to expand not only our current technology but to continue our efforts to identify acquisitions opportunities that fit our capabilities for improving products in the market."

NaturalNano continues to identify new applications that utilize its Halloysite Natural Tube (HNT) technology. The Company holds a strong patent portfolio and is working with a range of fortune 500 companies to improve their product offerings. Wemett adds, "Our effort to provide free samples for research and feasibility studies at Universities has been a major success. We have shipped samples for feasibility work around the world through this program and NaturalNano expects to identify additional uses for HNTs. The diverse uses of our HNTs include improving the capture of cancer cells by using HNTs as part of a novel cell capture technology in development at Cornell University in the Lab of Dr. Michael King."

"Although the company is now listed on the Pink Sheets which does not have SEC reporting obligations, (NNAN.OB is currently NNAN.PK) the company is committed to maintaining its SEC reporting obligations and hopes to be relisted on the OTC in 2010. In the meantime we will continue to release information to our shareholders as we make progress in the New Year. We thank our stockholders for their continued support and wish them a happy and healthy Holiday Season," Wemett also added.
