First American Scientific Corp. (FASC - OTCBB) announces plans
to build a production facility in Princeton, BC to produce
micronized zeolite
VANCOUVER,
Nov. 24 /CNW/ - Brian Nichols, President of First American
Scientific Corp. (FASC) is pleased to announce that FASC has signed
a joint venture agreement with Zeo-Tech Enviro Corp. (ZEO) and C2C
Zeolite Corporation Ltd. (CZC) to build a production facility at
Princeton BC for the micronizing of raw zeolite through the KDS
Micronex System. The new product called "ZeoFume" will be
used to supply product for CZC's existing contracts.
Under the agreement, a new company, United Zeolite Products Ltd.
(UZP) will be formed with each party contributing equipment, raw
materials, and contractual rights respectively. First American
Scientific Corp. will own 1/3 of the outstanding shares of UZP and
will manage the operation of the Princeton plant. All profits from
the joint venture will be divided equally amongst the 3 parties.
Earlier this year, CZC announced its participation in the
development of a new lightweight, zeolite-based oil well cementing
system. FASC is pleased that its KDS Micronex has become part of
that process. The UZP plant in Princeton is being constructed to
supply "micronized" zeolite as the new process is
commercialized.
Arrangements for construction of the plant and delivery of the
equipment are now underway, with a target date to commence full
operations in spring 2004. Further details will be announced as they
become available.
Certain information and statements included in this release
constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the
Federal Private Securities Litigation Reform Act.
