CALGARY, July 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Birch Mountain Resources Ltd.
("Birch Mountain" or the "Company") (BMD: TSX and AMEX) announces that it has
not made the scheduled June 30, 2008, interest payment to the holders of the
Convertible Unsecured Subordinate Debentures. As a consequence of the Company
being in breach of a financial covenant under its senior secured credit
facility, the lender, Tricap Partners Ltd., has exercised its right under the
loan agreement to direct Computershare Trust Company not to make the scheduled
interest payment until further notice from the lender. Birch Mountain is
working to rectify the breach and secure the necessary additional liquidity to
make the interest payment.
