~Bellwether Report on RVBF :)

Dear Members,

Recently, I introduced you to our latest small cap profile, Raven Biofuels (OTCBB:RVBF) and at the same time to another promising industry, Biofuels. I am sure that many of you have already been researching the Raven Biofuels Int. Corp. (OTCBB:RVBF), and have come to roughly the same conclusion as our research team. This company has extraordinary growth potential especially in the current economic environment. Today, Raven Biofuels announced the beginning of a key alliance with one of the U.S. largest and most experienced wood processing companies, The Price Companies Inc., which according to RVBF's President and Chief Operating Officer could accelerate the company's growth strategy.

I am a firm believer that you can easily indentify successful companies based on the following four pillars: 1) Leadership; 2) Strategic Industry Partners; 3) a compelling product; and 4) a market or niche. We have had the same expose before regarding two of our champions in the small cap category, Ameriwest Energy Corp. (OTCBB:AWEC) and ChinaTel Group Inc. (OTCBB:CHTL), and we saw firsthand that they were indeed crucial to these companies growth process. Raven Biofuels (OTCBB:RVBF) executive team is among the finest in the industry and its product is in the second generation biofuels class which makes it more attractive to governments and end-users. Whilst we recognize the fact that the world is quickly moving towards the alternative energy era, it becomes obvious that the market for this kind of energy solution will continue on increasing. Moreover, from my experience the one factor that should be considered with utmost attention when studying any company is its ability to find strategic partners.

I strongly believe that Raven Biofuels is your next profitable growth stock for 2008. The market is currently yearning for renewable energy products, and with current turmoil surrounding the first generation biofuels technology, especially concerning food supply, we see the emergence of companies like Raven Biofuels as being opportune. I foresee a great future for this company as they seem to have all it takes to grow in the near term. RVBF will a great addition to your watch list.

I invite you to read through the corporate development below:

NEWS out!!Raven Biofuels Accelerates Mississippi Cellulosic Ethanol Biorefinery Project by Signing Agreement With Larson Engineering
Wednesday November 19, 8:00 am ET


PARAMUS, NJ--(MARKET WIRE)--Nov 19, 2008 -- Raven Biofuels International Corporation (OTC BB:RVBF.OB - News) ("Raven" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with Larson Engineering ("Larson") to begin engineering for Raven's proposed Mississippi biorefinery. Larson has been involved with 50+ ethanol and biofuels facilities throughout the U.S.
ADVERTISEMENT


As previously announced, the planned 33 million gallon per year biorefinery on a 35-acre site offers regional benefits such as favorably lower feedstock and labor costs combined with strong State incentives such as The Gulf Opportunity Zone (GO Zone). In association with the GO Zone initiatives, the project plan also includes an adjacent cogeneration facility to be developed in cooperation with local utilities. The Gulf Opportunity Zone Act was passed into law on Dec 21, 2005 as an initiative to rebuilding the region devastated by multiple hurricanes (Wilma, Rita and Katrina) in 2005.

Along with Raven's management, Larson will be responsible for conducting site development, geotechnical, permitting and detailed process design work leading to groundbreaking and commercial operation. Larson will serve as Raven's owner engineer for the duration of the project performing equipment specification, detailed engineering, material procurement and construction management.

John Sams, Raven's President & COO, said, "Raven looks forward to moving the recently announced Mississippi project forward through the selection of Larson Engineering as our Owner's Engineer. Larson's experience in the ethanol industry, as well as pulp & paper industry provides an accelerated path for deploying our cellulosic ethanol biorefinery technology in the southern United States. This is a strategic location based on the facility's proximity to the gulf coast's oil & gas industry and will provide the seed for the profitable growth of Raven."

Lee A. Granquist, P.E., President of Larson Engineering, said, "Larson is well positioned to assist Raven in the launch of its cellulosic ethanol biorefinery technology. Larson's Atlanta office has many years of experience throughout the southern United States and our depth of knowledge in the ethanol market technologies will provide for a cost-effective and efficient roll out of Raven's technology."

Further specifics outlining the agreements between both parties will be made upon completion of negotiations, full details of which will be made publicly available at that time as part of the Company's regulatory disclosure filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
