• Income from operations was $978,930, an increase of 61.6% over the prior period.  
• Interest expense was reduced from $68,639 to $20,978 reflecting the reduced reliance on debt funding.

Bill Gunn, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, congratulated the company's strong team on the most profitable quarter in the company's history of operation.

In addition, Mr. Gunn stated that "Following our successful endeavors, we have some further development plans in place for our business."

"We aim to further expand the capacity of our sodium bicarbonate plant beyond the current 125,000 tons per year to 250,000 tons per year and on November 10, 2010 the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) advised us of its approval of changes to our mining plan to enable us to proceed on this path," said Mr. Gunn.

In October the company was advised by the Washington office of the BLM that our nomination for an Oil Shale Research, Development, and Demonstration (RD&D) lease in Colorado has been advanced to the next stage of its review process.

"Based on the advancement of our RD&D lease we have now contracted Monash University of Australia to perform research on oil shale which supports our efforts to investigate potential solutions to develop petroleum products from the oil shale," he said.

"The research at Monash is integral to our oil shale project and is designed to test concepts that may later be used on-site should we gain full approval from the BLM of our RD&D application," said Mr. Gunn.
