EXER News:

January 16 - Exact Energy Resources, Inc. Acquires Additional Rights to Technology

On behalf of Exact Energy Resources, Inc. (OTC: EXER) (the “Company”) President Rod Burns, P. Eng., reports that following the recent name change and reorganization, the Company has increased its interest in the Low Profile Fluid Catalytic Cracking (LPFCC) Technology. The Company has entered into an agreement to acquire all of the rights to the Technology held by Wellborn Energy Corp.

“This represents a significant step forward for the Company” remarked Rod Burns, President. “The need for increased refining capacity is not just a national or even North American concern, but rather, is a worldwide reality.”

“We are initially going to be concentrating our efforts in North America, and then focusing on additional geographic regions globally. No new refineries have been built in the United States in the last 30 years and refining capacity has been consistently declining, but recently, the situation has changed” said Burns. “The entire industry recognizes that there is a shortage of refining capacity, especially for production of high value-added products. Of note is the focus on adding capacity that can convert heavier, cheaper crude oil into higher-value added products. That is precisely where our technology adds significant cost savings and advantage”.

Some advantages of the LPFCC Technology are upfront capital cost savings of up to 40% over conventional crackers; increased efficiency in cracking; enhanced ability to utilize heavy crude as a feed stock; enhanced safety as the design allows lower pressures and temperatures which makes the unit both safer and more cost effective; and, a higher ratio of catalysis to feed stock (crude to be refined).

“Within the existing refining infrastructure, significant capital improvements and upgrades need to be made to meet the rising demand” he continued. “The lower capital cost, lower operating costs, superior performance and enhanced ability to utilize lower grade feed stocks are all compelling reasons for any refinery to consider the LPFCC technology, whether for existing plant upgrades or for new plant construction.”

“The current level of activity is behind where we expect it to be in as short a time as two months from now but with tactics and programs we have employed at other locations we will see very positive improvements right away,” stated Naved Jaffrey, Chairman of BlueStar. “We will immediately begin the process of upgrading food services at the location in addition to improving amenities in the truck driver rest area to deliver a better customer experience. We are also outlining a comprehensive initiative aimed at increasing operational efficiencies at the location that will incrementally benefit the bottom line and our ability to scale sales in the future.”
