Terra Energy & Resource Technologies, Inc. to Strengthen Its Intellectual Property via Technology Acquisition
Letter of Intent Signed With the Institute of Geoinformational Analysis of the Earth
Terra Energy & Resource Technologies, Inc.
(OTCBB: TEGR), an energy and natural resource exploration technology
company, announces that it has signed a Letter of Intent with the Institute
of Geoinformational Analysis of the Earth to acquire its satellite-based
remote sensing technology. We presently utilize the technology pursuant to
a long term license arrangement.
The Letter of Intent calls for the technology acquisition to be effected by
September 30, 2008, and to be in exchange for a number of shares of the
Company's restricted stock in accordance with value reflected in a fairness
opinion to be provided by an independent third party expert appraisal.
"Terra Energy & Resource Technologies, Inc. has initiated efforts to
broaden the capabilities and sweep of technologies offered to the
exploration industry and to obtain ownership of technologies offered," said
Dmitry Vilbaum, Chief Executive Officer of Terra Energy & Resource
Technologies, Inc. "We are in the process of dramatically expanding the
Company's intellectual property base, and this is a big first step. The
Letter of Intent calls for cancellation of the worldwide exclusive license
and, instead, effecting the direct acquisition and full ownership of the
technology. We are creating a bank of innovative technologies, and expect
to move forward with additional technology acquisitions this year."
"Our active pursuit of new technologies and innovative intellectual
property is how we will effect the plan for offering our conceptually new
exploration analysis process, for which we already have seen industry
interest," said Mr. Vilbaum. "The technology acquisition will also include
securing of industry non-compete agreements with scientific and technical
personnel."
