IBA Green, Enters Into a Strategic Agreement with United Arab Emirates Multinational Corporation

SYMBOLOTCBB: PIEX

NEWPORT BEACH, CA, Jan. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ - IBA Green, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Pioneer Exploration Inc. (PIEX) is pleased to announce it has entered into a strategic business cooperation agreement with Spectrum based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates for implementation of a facility for the treatment of incinerator bottom ash (IBA). IBA is the toxic residual residue resulting from burning coal or solid waste in the process of generating electric power.

The agreement enables both companies to further explore opportunities in the United Arab Emirates and the Middle East region through cooperation of technology, resources, and services. IBA Green has developed technology to process IBA into environmentally safe construction material and has current projects in development in Singapore and Hawaii.

"Spectrum has formed a number of important, strategic alliances with U.S. and other global companies in recent years," said Mr. Adel Al Otaiba, Chairman and CEO of Spectrum.  "We believe that our relationship with IBA Green will be extremely rewarding, given the growing need for their technology and the dynamic business environment that exists in the UAE and the Middle East."

The IBA Green technology can address several issues facing the UAE and the Middle East, including the processing, disposal and reduction of toxic Incinerator bottom ash. That same ash once treated can then safely be converted into nonhazardous eco-friendly building materials.  "IBA Green's technology to treat and convert incinerator bottom ash into viable and environmentally responsible construction materials provides a safe and environmentally sensitive method of diverting what was previously hazardous material into commercially viable products, a good thing for any place in the world." said Mr. Angelo Scola, President and CEO of IBA Green.
