Plateau Mineral Development, Inc. Converts Tires Into Useful Carbon Credits

WINSTON-SALEM, NC, Jul 13 (MARKET WIRE) --
Plateau Mineral Development, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: PMDP), along with its
partner, Plateau Mineral Development LLC, announced today that the firm,
in conjunction with MEI and Environmental Solutions, has completed a
design for a converter unit that will transform tires into carbon black,
oil, gas and petroleum solvents.

The fully operational converter is the size of a truck bed. Although the
demonstration unit will not be a full-sized production unit, it will,
nonetheless, display its capabilities for various customers and will most
likely pay for itself in the process. This production prototype unit will
cost in the range of $325,000 to $350,000.

A representative of Plateau Mineral Development states, "In addition to
turning waste streams into oil, gas and other beneficial products such as
fertilizer and carbon black, the converter will also create carbon credits
that can be sold to the many firms needing them. Therefore, it will be a
worthwhile investment for the company."

specializes in the exploration and development of energy sources. Its
partner, Plateau Mineral Development LLC, has been in existence for over
