PALM BEACH GARDENS, FL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 10/06/06 -- Nevtah Capital Management
(PINKSHEETS: NTAH) today announced that together with its partner, Black
Sand Energy Corp., they have signed a Letter of Intent with Korea
Technology Industry Co., Ltd. (KTI) to develop their leases in the Utah Oil
Sands.
KTI is a publicly traded company on the Korea Main Board and is
headquartered in Seoul, Korea. Successful in developing several
technology-based industries in electronics, biotechnology, nanotechnology
and Internet commerce, the Company is now focusing on investments in
innovative forms of renewable and alternative energy. KTI was one of the
first groups to view the demonstrations of the joint venture partners'
patented, closed-loop extraction technology in Oklahoma in September and
returned this week to see the unit operating and producing oil.
As Nevtah/Black Sand Energy's investment partner, KTI will provide $10
million US to develop the joint venture partners' leases in the state of
Utah, encompassing multiple leases which may include the areas of Asphalt
Ridge, Sunnyside, P.R. Spring and Whiterocks. In return, the joint venture
partners will contribute the mining rights to leases in these areas and
will provide KTI with a total yield of 100 million barrels of oil utilizing
their patented, closed-loop extraction system. The oil will be refined in
Salt Lake City and KTI will sell it to the domestic U.S market. Black
Sand Energy will be the operator for this joint venture project.
The joint venture of Nevtah Capital and Black Sand Energy Corp. holds the
exclusive rights in Utah for this patented, proprietary system. Since the
Nevtah/Black Sand joint venture project began in early 2005, Nevtah has
invested over $5 million US directly into this Closed-Loop Technology
Project, commencing with the construction of the original pilot plant. (See
Press Release dated October 11th, 2005, "Nevtah/Cassandra Oil Sands Joint
Venture Pilot Plant Mobilized...").
Nevtah Capital will continue to fund the ongoing enhancement and
development of the joint venture partners' commercial production plant
currently at the fabrication plant in Oklahoma. It is currently undergoing
a series of improvements, testing programs and demonstrations to potential
joint venture groups such as KTI and private leaseholders in the Utah Oil
Sands area. At such time as the project engineers sign off on the
technology in Oklahoma, the unit will be moved for oil sands extraction in
Utah. Nevtah and Black Sand Energy continue to seek out other privately
held lease opportunities in the Utah Oil Sands area, which is estimated to
contain over 32 billion barrels of oil. (DOE Estimates)
