Unique Pizza and Subs Corporation (Pink Sheets: UPZS - http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=UPZS.PK )

Unique Pizza and Subs Corporation, a Delaware Corporation, projects its rapid expansion in 6 (six) U.S. markets in 2006: Atlanta, Ga., Austin, Texas, Boston, Mass., Milwaukee, Wis., Norfolk/Chesapeake, Va. and Pittsburgh, Pa. With these new markets opening, Unique Pizza and Subs will establish 194 (one hundred and ninety-four) locations open by the end of 2007, with sales totaling $84,233,400. In addition to the six territories scheduled to start opening by July 2006, Unique Pizza and Subs is in various stages of negotiations with prospective franchisees in: Canton, Mich., Charlotte, N.C., Chicago, Ill., Greensburg, Pa., Houston, Texas, Ontario, Calif., Phoenix, Ariz., Royal Oak, Mich., and Sacramento, Calif., with the minimum commitment of five locations per franchisee.

James Vowler, President and CEO of Unique Pizza and Subs, stated, ''It's exciting and humbling, already having signed commitments in six major markets to open almost two hundred new locations by the end of 2007! Our franchise and marketing departments haven't even started our franchising campaign (scheduled to start marketing 'franchises for sale' in September of this year). We know it is a very ambitious objective to open two hundred new franchises in the next eighteen months, that is why we have selected franchisees that have a strong passion toward our brand, committed to five or more stores and have the financial viability to open them. I designed Unique Pizza and Subs, from the beginning, to expand rapidly in any market. We not only open stores in the high profile areas, but we go into the smaller markets and convert independent pizza shops into a Unique Pizza and Subs in about a week. Our current success is another strong indication to our loyal shareholders of the aptitude of our company to expand our/their franchise nationwide.''

Unique Pizza and Subs is the only publicly traded pizza franchise that has been designed to succeed in ''high profile'' as well as smaller markets, allowing for a much more rapid growth in any market than its competition. Unique Pizza and Subs has four clear advantages over the rest of the pizza industry: superior quality of product, a unique and extensive menu, Customer Response Center (C.R.C. receives incoming orders for all nationwide stores), and a well defined strategy for converting existing locations within a market. Unique Pizza and Subs is well positioned for strong growth throughout the U.S. and they anticipate many significant announcements over the next few months to support that contention. This will allow them to reach strategic and financial milestones that will provide reassurance for shareholders and brokers, while propelling serious interest from potential investors.

Earth Search Sciences, Inc. (OTCBB: ESSE - http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=ESSE.OB )

Earth Search Sciences, Inc. confirmed that its subsidiary company Petro Probe, Inc. is preparing to commence construction of a plant to recover oil and gas products from the rich oil shale areas of the Piceance Basin region in Colorado. Agreements were finalized for an unrestricted license from inventor and patent holder General Synfuels International, Inc. Further Petro Probe has entered into a Letter of Intent for an oil shale site license and technology sharing with Phoenix Wyoming Inc. and Independent Energy Partners, both private companies.

The Petro Probe in-situ oil shale recovery system is based on a new gasification process that will operate underground in an environmentally acceptable manner. Each plant is portable and located on a 2 to 3 acre site that produces approximately $100 million of hydrocarbon products before depletion occurs, whereupon the plant is relocated. The prototype plant will take 6 months to construct.

Testing and environmental impact studies will be completed before the full capacity operation is commenced.

Representative of the new alliance and President of Phoenix Wyoming, Inc., Bill Pelton PhD, said, "We are excited about the potential of the oil shale business with Petro Probe, Inc. and look forward to a long term relationship which can also utilize the airborne hyperspectral remote sensing capabilities of parent, Earth Search Sciences to pinpoint the location of oil shale reflectance values on the surface."

Larry Vance, CEO of Earth Search Sciences stated, "We believe the combination of partners that this alliance has, is right to fully exploit the oil shale market with a greater utilization of our assets and intellectual property. The ability of our hyperspectral technology to monitor precise environmental impacts is an advantage in ensuring the oil shale processing is clean and unobtrusive. Details will be released soon on the plant location and information will be posted on a Petro Probe website," he added.

XcelPlus International Inc. (Pink Sheets: XLPI - http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=XLPI.PK )

XcelPlus International Inc. is pleased to announce that it has secured worldwide production and distribution rights to Diesenol(TM), an ethanol-based substitute for traditional diesel and BioDiesel fuel.

After a series of negotiations with Smartek Tecnologia Electronica LTDA, a Brazilian company which controlled the rights to the ethanol-based substitute for Diesel and Biodiesel fuels, Mr. Bill R Smith, President of XcelPlus International Inc., announced that XcelPlus had successfully secured worldwide rights for manufacture and distribution of the fuel. The technology, now owned by XcelPlus Global Holdings Inc., will be licensed to XcelPlus International for production and worldwide distribution.

Diesenol BioDiesel substitute was developed by a group of fuel chemists and engineers to allow diesel engines to run on 95% ethanol. Through extensive testing Diesenol was found to outperform ordinary diesel as well as BioDiesel, which is either a mixture of Diesel fuel and 15% ethanol, or a mixture of Diesel Fuel and vegetable oil. Test results showed that Diesenol improves torque and power, significantly reduces emissions, increases oil change intervals, reduces deposits inside the engine, and prolongs engine life. It flows better in cold temperatures than diesel or BioDiesel, improving cold start performance.

"The worldwide market for Diesenol is enormous," stated Mr. Smith in a post contract-signing interview. "The U.S. alone consumes over 30 billion gallons of diesel type fuels for transportation each year. We are very excited at the prospect of entering the fuel market with a product that outperforms conventional fuels, reduces dependence on foreign oil, and lowers emissions. We are currently negotiating for rights to other ethanol technologies, which we will announce shortly. We believe that our strategic marketing plans for these technologies will make XcelPlus a major force in the newly emerging clean energy markets."
