  VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Jun 03 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
 Mr. LuVerne E.W. Hogg, President and CEO of ZEOX Corporation (The
"Company" or "ZEOX") (TSX VENTURE: ZOX), is pleased to announce the
Company's entry into the environmental remediation market for the removal
of Mercury ("Hg") from emissions in power generation coal fired utility
boilers.

    Even though the concentrations of Hg are relatively low at .012 to 3.3
parts per million, collectively the release into the environment is
considerable because of the large amount of coal that is burned globally.
Estimates for global emissions of Hg from all sources are approximately
12,000,000 pounds per year with Hg emissions from power generation
accounting for approximately 40%. Mercury is very volatile so currently
only small amounts are currently removed along with fly ash by
particulate control devices such as electrostatic precipitators. The
remainder is emitted into the atmosphere along with the flu gases. United
States and Canadian Government Environmental Regulations are now in place
requiring that coal fired utilities meet Hg removal targets in 2010 by
70% increasing in subsequent years to up to 95% removal efficiency.

    The zeolites utilized by ZEOX are aluminosilicate minerals that are used
as adsorbents for gas separation and purification, as ion exchange media
for water treatment and purification and nuclear waste remediation. Early
tests have confirmed an activated zeolite injected into the stack gases
of coal burning utilities, effectively removes Hg from the gas stream.
The ZEOX product has been branded as ZMM(R) AZI (Activated Zeolite
Injection).

    The ZEOX zeolite sorbent technologies utilize the Company's unique
Chabazite zeolite. The ZEOX sorbent and technologies will provide
utilities organizations with a reliable supply of performance material
across North America. ZMM(R)AZI will be produced at the Butte, Montana
facility where the company has completed the plant upgrades and will
commence operations in mid June 2008. Butte has a design capacity of
120,000 tons per annum. 

    The Company will offer price certainty to the power utilities through
forward ordering and supply can be assured by our unique zeolite resource
base. A distinct advantage for ZEOX's sorbent technology is zeolite does
not negatively impact on the fly ash production, a by-product of coal
burning facilities that is collected and sold into the cement industry
for cost recovery. 

    ZEOX will work closely with coal burning utilities to provide technical
support in collaboration with coal laboratories in the United States and
Canada.
