                                                                                                                       . 
CalciTech US and Canadian Patent Applications Granted             

 

Hamilton, Bermuda, 23rd July, 2008 - CalciTech Ltd. (Plus Markets: CLK; OTCBB:
CLKTF) announces today that the Company's patent applications in both the US
and Canada have been granted.

Chuck Kunesh, Director of North American operations for CalciTech, stated "The
granting of patents in both the US and Canada is a key milestone for the
Company that validates the commercial uniqueness and viability of our Synthetic
Calcium Carbonate (SCC) process and products. North America is a very important
territory for us considering the market size of mineral pigment consumption,
the wide variety of end markets and the large availability of raw materials.
Armed with these patents, we can now move ahead with the projects we have
identified in the area through feasibility and development towards building."

Michael Watts, Director of Marketing for CalciTech, stated "CalciTech is now
free to make its technology available in North America. As in Europe, we will
be aiming our products not solely at the paper industry but will also be
looking to enter the specialty markets for dry products such as the polymer
industry where SCC has been shown to impart a number of important improvements
to the finished product."

"We will be talking to new and existing partners and potential customers with
the aim of introducing the products in the near future. The performance/price
advantages of CalciTech's SCC based products are compelling for the paper and
polymer industries where costs are under pressure. SCC is made from local
materials and waste, combined with CO2. The growing trend towards the use of
more sustainable materials, should also favor the use of SCC."

Roger Leopard, CEO for CalciTech, stated, "In conjunction with our program to
enter the North American market commercially on the back of the patents
granting, we are also working on upgrading the listing of our stock to a more
senior North American capital market. We believe that the two initiatives will
mutually contribute to a greater visibility of the Company in this region."
