Willowstick Technologies Wins iQ Award for Green Business

SALT LAKE CITY--(Business Wire)--
Willowstick Technologies, the leading provider of innovative subsurface water
mapping services, was recognized Wednesday as one of the top earth-friendly
businesses in the state, winning an award in the category of Green Business at
Utah Business magazine`s iQ Awards.

In a ceremony at Salt Lake City`s Wells Fargo Bank Building, Willowstick was
recognized for providing alternatives to traditional methods of groundwater
detection. Willowstick`s AquaTrack detection method creates contoured, 3-D
renderings of subsurface water with minimal disruption to the surrounding
environment. The resulting information can be used by businesses and communities
to identify subsurface water pathways for possible public use, groundwater
cleanup, exploration or many other purposes.

"Utah Business magazine`s iQ Awards program honors companies that have
demonstrated progressive thinking, hard work and innovation. Willowstick, iQ
award recipient in the Green Business category, has proven to be a company that
exemplifies those traits," said Utah Business magazine Managing Editor Sarah
Ryther-Francom. "The company`s innovative AquaTrack technology deserves such
recognition, as it is helping to safely and `greenly` map water systems
throughout the world. Utah Business was pleased to honor Willowstick for this
technology and the company`s overall innovative processes."

"We`re pleased to be recognized by Utah Business and Wasatch Digital IQ for our
efforts because we believe our technology can help companies to be good stewards
of our environment," said Paul Rollins, Willowstick`s vice president of business
development. "We take pride in the fact that our technology can help to protect
our precious groundwater resources and our clients appreciate the fact that they
can save money by reducing drilling and eliminating guesswork."

The iQ (innovation quotient) Awards are awarded in 10 categories, each
containing three finalists culled from dozens of nominees. The purpose of the
awards, presented by Utah Business and Utah Digital IQ magazines, is to
recognize Utah companies driving the latest in technology innovation.

AquaTrack is a patented non-intrusive geophysical technique capable of mapping
groundwater at depths exceeding 3,500 feet (1 kilometer) over large areas. The
mapped water body is energized, and the electrical current flows preferentially
through saturated subsurface materials, creating an induced magnetic field that
is measured at multiple points on the ground surface, typically in a grid
pattern. This data is then turned into multiple renderings that display valuable
characteristics about the location of groundwater preferential flow paths.
