HOLLYWOOD--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 8, 2006--From his perch in Malibu where he is able to view the beauty and power of nature, James Brolin, actor and director, activist, environmentalist and the husband of Barbara Streisand, has teamed with Solucorp Industries, Ltd. (Pink Sheets: SLUP) (www.solucorpltd.com) to direct and produce a corporate video news release to help get the company's message about its new proprietary patented IFS (Integrated Fixation System) technology to the public. Brolin's involvement will result in top Hollywood names, who will talk about the abundance of coal, the ramifications of foreign oil dependency, and how Solucorp, with its patented technology, will make coal clean-burning by integrating its technology into functioning coal-burning energy plants. Making the public aware that coal can be the clean-burning fuel source of the future is a priority for this legendary star and activist.

"I am happy to put together a short film that will further the cause of a company like Solucorp. They need to be an integral part of doing the repair to the damage we have inflicted on this planet," stated Brolin. "What Solucorp has accomplished with its technology and products needs to be well known by the public for future solutions to slowing down and repairing the current accelerated pace of this planet's destruction."

As countries scramble to reduce problematic dependence on oil and find alternative energy sources, a recent patented technological development by Solucorp has produced a surprising solution: coal. Although coal is a vastly abundant energy source, its development for the future has been limited by the problem of hazardous mercury emission pollution and mercury-polluted ash residue. That challenge will be overcome by a new proprietary IFS technology from Solucorp Industries Ltd., if Brolin and his group of advocates get their way.

Solucorp had announced that it has signed a contract with a major global power generation company to integrate its patented mercury emission control technology into a working coal-fired energy plant. It will be the first facility to use Solucorp's unique and patented mercury emission control technology, which removes and remediates mercury in emissions and fly ash. When operating results are available later this year, Solucorp expects to make the technology widely accessible to the energy industry.

"We're confident that this system can significantly reduce mercury emissions below the new federally mandated EPA standards," said Noel Spindler, president of Integrated Fixation System Co. Inc., a Solucorp subsidiary. "EPA regulations are forcing coal plants to find solutions to the mercury problem or face significant fines or shutdown, which could have a catastrophic effect on our energy supply. There is a widespread belief that mercury emissions can't be reduced significantly or cost-effectively, but we're about to prove that's a myth. With this technology, existing coal plants will be able to comply with new regulations. New coal-burning plants will be able to replace oil and nuclear plants to meet the ever-increasing energy demands, while eliminating and potentially reversing their negative environmental impact, opening up exciting new potential for coal to become the primary fuel source of the 21st century."

Actor/writer/producer James Brolin first achieved enduring fame starring in "Marcus Welby, M.D." His two other hit series, "Hotel," ran for six years and "Pensacola: Wings of Gold" ran for five. He received an Emmy nomination and a third Golden Globe nomination for his portrayal of Ronald Reagan in "The Reagans" (CBS). Films include Wes Craven's "Cursed," starring Christina Ricci and Portia De Rossi; "The Alibi," opposite Selma Blair and Rebecca Romjin; Denzel Washington's "Antwone Fisher"; Spielberg's "Catch Me If You Can" with Leonardo DiCaprio; Steven Soderbergh's Academy Award winning "Traffic"; "Westworld"; "The Amityville Horror"; "Capricorn One"; and "Gas Food & Lodging." James Brolin is also an award-winning director for his independent film, "My Brother's War."

Solucorp Industries, Ltd. is a provider and developer of cost-effective and permanent technologies for the remediation and prevention of hazardous heavy metal contamination. Solucorp owns several patents and numerous additional patents that are pending. Solucorp Industries, Ltd. has three wholly owned subsidiaries: Solucorp Industries, Integrated Fixation System Co. Inc., and WITS Inc.

The foregoing discussion contains forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations. Actual results, including the timing and amount of revenues recognized, contracts awarded and performed and net income may differ due to such factors as: delays in payment on contracts due to dealings with governmental and foreign entities; fluctuations in operating costs associated with changes in project specifications; economic and other conditions affecting the ability of prospective clients to finance projects; and other risks generally affecting the financing of projects. Investors are cautioned to perform a proper due diligence and consult licensed professionals prior to making an investment decision.
