Hague Corp./Solterra Renewable Technologies Makes Significant Progress in
Selection Process to Establish a Solar Cell Production and Distribution
Facility in Saudi Arabia

TEMPE, Ariz., June 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CEO Stephen Squires of
Solterra Renewable Technologies Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Hague Corp.
(OTC Bulletin Board: HGUE), announced today that the company has made
significant progress in the selection process by an agency of the Government
of Saudi Arabia to establish a thin-film quantum dot solar cell manufacturing
and distribution facility in the country. 

If selected, the Solterra solar cell facility would be part of an initiative
to build a transmission super grid of power plants and power lines to supply
energy to Europe and to seawater desalination plants in the Middle East and
North Africa.  The initiative has been spearheaded by the Trans-Mediterranean
Renewable Energy Cooperation, or TREC, a consortium led by the renowned "Club
of Rome," which includes the German Aerospace Bureau and several universities
in Europe and the Middle East.

Squires said, "We have been engaged in preliminary discussions for more than
six months and are now in advanced discussions with the Saudi government
agency responsible for these decisions. We have undergone an incredibly
in-depth due diligence review of our science and our business plan. The due
diligence process was conducted on-site by a European consulting and analysis
firm.  Early discussions have led us to believe that we are a frontrunner in
the selection process."

He added, "The super grid initiative has attracted a growing number of
powerful backers. Nicolas Sarkozy, the President of France, and UK Prime
Minister Gordon Brown have both publicly endorsed the super grid project. It
is our belief that if we are able to realize this opportunity we will receive
significant financial support, facility set up, personnel subsidies and other
benefits."

"While our competitors attempt to reduce the cost per watt by scaling up
production or using less than industrial grade materials," Squires explained,
"we believe our proprietary quantum dot semi conductor processing technology
and technological innovations will be the keys to delivering increasingly cost
effective solar cells."
