MISSOULA, Mont., June 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- VEGA PROMOTIONAL SYSTEMS,
INC. (Pink Sheets: VGPR) today announced through its wholly owned subsidiary,
Natural Fuels Industries, it is planning to construct a manufacturing facility
in the State of Georgia to produce alternative energy from organic waste.

According to a recent Forbes Magazine article entitled "America's Best Places
For Alternative Energy," the abundance of biomass in Georgia's Bioenergy
Corridor ranks third in the nation as a potential source of renewable energy.
The article referenced the amount of privately owned forest in Georgia, more
than any other state in the country, as a reason for the state's ranking.
Forbes also cited that roughly 50 million tons of the state's own timber ends
up in the state's wood-products manufacturing plants every year and the
industry returns nearly half of it in the form of primary mill wood debris.

"Georgia's wealth of natural resources combined with our research institutions
and a strong business climate create an ideal environment for the development
of renewable energy," said Georgia Governor, Sonny Perdue. "We appreciate
Forbes' recognition of our ability to develop alternative energy sources."

The proposed Georgia facility would be designed to produce alternative/green
energy. When completed, the plant would have the capacity to produce several
hundred thousand metric tons of biomass fuel pellets annually.  NFI recently
announced it has entered into a Letter of Intent to purchase a 20% equity
interest in a biomass manufacturing facility currently under construction in
MAP Ta PHUT, Thailand.  

Biomass or biofuel is material derived from recently living organisms. This
includes plants, animals and their by-products. For example, manure, garden
waste and crop residues are all sources of biomass. It is a renewable energy
source based on the carbon cycle, unlike other natural resources such as
petroleum, coal, and nuclear fuels.  The use of biomass fuels can therefore
contribute to waste management as well as fuel security and help to prevent
global warming

NFI's Business Plan calls for manufacturing facilities to be constructed in
various locations around the world.  The Georgia plant would be the Company's
first in the United States and would serve as a model facility for other
plants in the U.S.  A plant of this size could create approximately 200 jobs.

NFI markets various products including energy efficient pellet fuel made from
organic waste bi-products using unique and innovative ideas combined with
proven technology.  The Company's current expansion includes building
manufacturing plants in various international locations that will produce
biomass products and bio-diesel products for power generation units.  It is
estimated that in the next five years the biomass industry will become a $20
billion industry.
