agreement with Sekita Agronegocios ("Sekita"), a leading Brazilian based
agribusiness company. Sekita plans to test ThermoPotash in real world conditions
for use with various vegetables (see release March 22, 2010). Amazon is
currently seeking opportunities to further develop additional partnership
agreements to aid in the projects progress.


Subsequent Period Summary



--  Bench scale agronomic tests are being completed using ThermoPotash that
    has been processed at the company's pilot plant. Initial solubility
    tests using concentrated nitric acid have shown the process has
    succeeded in making 95.8% of the contained potassium (K2O) soluble and
    potentially available to plant roots in trial versions of the fertilizer
    product, made from the insoluble verdete rock. 
--  Lab scale tests are advancing on the generation of muriate (KCl),
    sulphate (K2SO4) and carbonate (K2CO3) of potash from our verdete ore.
