("ENPAR" or "the\n Company") is pleased to announce that   the Company has been granted a\n patent for its ExtrEL Leaching Technology by the State Intellectual\n Property Office of the People's Republic of China. The patent will\n remain in effect for a term of twenty (20) years from the filing date\n of the application, and management anticipates near-term patent\n approvals from several other jurisdictions including Australia, Canada,\n Russia, South America and United States.\n\n\nA state-of-the-art, environmentally friendly technology, ExtrEL is being\n developed as a cost effective method for the extraction of nickel from\n mining mill sulphide waste. Designed to recover nickel and other\n valuable by-products at low cost, successful implementation of this\n unique technology is also expected to reduce the impact of acid mine\n drainage (AMD). AMD is identified as one of the most serious\n environmental issues facing the mining industry today.\n\n\nThe Company expects to complete the laboratory development stage by late\n 2011. Based on laboratory test results to date, it is anticipated that\n the ExtrEL Leaching Technology has the potential to achieve greater\n than 90% recovery of nickel from sulphide waste materials. Given ready\n access to nickel sulphide tailings deposits similar to those located in\n the Sudbury nickel mining camp...
