  Prometheus raises US $2.65 million loan for Polish coal-mine methane to LNG
                                    project


June 15, 2007


Prometheus Energy's subsidiary company, LNG-Silesia Sp. Zo.o., a Polish Limited
Liability Company, has been granted a Polish government-supported loan of US
$2.65m with Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego, Poland. The loan will be used for the
construction of a coal mine methane-to-LNG project at the Krupinski Mine in
Katowice. One-half of the loan amounts can be forgiven once the project
is producing and selling LNG.


LNG-Silesia previously entered into an Equipment Purchase Agreement with
Prometheus to buy the purification and liquefaction system for the project.
LNG-Silesia has made a down-payment for the system, which is now in its final
design stages. LNG-Silesia was formed through a joint venture between Prometheus
and CETUS Energetyka Gazowa Sp. Zo.o.


Kirt Montague, Prometheus CEO commented: "This is an important and positive
development in our Silesia project and further supports the growth of our
presence in Poland. The Krupinski project will give important technical
validation for the application of our technology to the enormous supplies of
coal mine methane available in Poland. We are in the design phase of a series of
projects in Poland that will enable us to access supplies, which we estimate are
in excess of 75,000 gallons of liquid methane per day, to help meet the growing
demands for alternative energy in Poland. Our Polish joint venture adds a strong
strategic dimension to Prometheus not just in Poland but in the European
Community."
