Sovereign Exploration Associates International, Inc. Announces Diving Operations on 18th Century Shipwreck
NEWTOWN, PA--(Marketwire - July 10, 2007) - Sovereign Exploration Associates International, Inc. (OTCBB: SVXA), a maritime exploration company, today announced it will begin diving operations this month on an 18th century shipwreck that has been code named "Northern Squall."

The Northern Squall was a 450 ton full rigged sailing ship launched at the end of the 17th century. The vessel had a colorful history serving as a merchant cargo ship. Historical records of the early 1800s indicate that while transporting close to five million pounds of sterling and gold, or nearly $300 million in today's currency, it was ship wrecked off the coast of Nova Scotia. "This wreck site was chosen because the Northern Squall is not a sovereign military vessel," stated Peter Knollenberg, Chairman of Sovereign.

"Utilizing a complex, multi-disciplinary approach, we look forward to the possibility of recovering and conserving a valuable cargo of coins, including rare New England colonial coins, and historically significant artifacts," said Bob MacKinnon, Senior VP of Nova Scotia Operations. "Wreck sites deteriorate over time because of human and natural causes as witnessed in an increasing number of TV documentaries being aired about shipwrecks. We hope that the quality of our recovery and conservation work and the cultural value of this shipwreck will help encourage a new era of cooperation between the academic community and a well-funded private sector so that everyone benefits from bringing the past into the present to protect our maritime heritage," McKinnon further stated.

"SEAI believes it can help heighten general interest in history by letting the public participate in the excitement of a historic treasure trove discovery, like the Northern Squall, through film coverage. History is being rewritten because of the advancements in technology and science as documented on the History and Discovery channels and by National Geographic," stated Bob Baca, President of Sovereign "Management is very optimistic about this recovery project."
