Stephen Padgett the Chief Executive Officer explained

"In my recent letter to our shareholders I stated that we had now reached an advanced stage in execution and planning for the commercialisation of the UK industrial site and associated infrastructure and plant that we acquired last year and that we are currently in the process of completing - to convert the site into our first Integrated Waste to Energy Plant. I also explained that our focus will be on the integration of the natural cycle from waste to energy.

Mr Padgett continued in a reference to the Company's new web-site:

"I am pleased to be able to announce the launch of our new web-site, which not only sets out the new branding underlying Verta Energy, but also provides further insight into the inherent value in the industrial site that we purchased last year and the work that we have been doing to convert that site into a waste to energy business. The new web-site gives an overview of our aspirations for the site. Once our current round of capital raising is complete, I look forward to being able to set out in some detail the phased plan that we shall adopt and the priorities that we shall set for the first phase of the project."
