Mirenco Accepts Invitation To Present At Mining Diesel Emissions Conference 

Mining Regulations Call for Advanced Technology to Reduce Diesel Particulate Matter 

Radcliffe, IA – August 31, 2001 – Mirenco (OTCBB: MREO) is pleased to announce they have been formally invited to present and provide a white paper at the Mining Diesel Emissions Conference (MDEC) held November 6-8, 2001 in Markham, Ontario. 

Mirenco recently conducted a series of controlled, enclosed environment tests using mining equipment to measure Diesel Particulate Matter (DPM) accumulation. Mirenco’s technology consistently reduced the DPM accumulation by 75% (measured at both PM 10 and PM 2.5 levels). The results were also obtained with a negligible loss of power and a projected fuel savings of approximately 5%. 

As follow up to these series of tests and in consideration for the July 2002 change in federal regulations regarding DPM for the mining industry, Mirenco presented their technology and enclosed environment performance to officials at the Mining Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). 

"We are excited to be a part of this year’s MDEC and have the opportunity to help the mining industry comply with the upcoming regulations," said Dwayne Fosseen, Chairman & CEO of Mirenco, further commenting on the invitation, "The underground mine environment presents unique issues in regards to employee health and safety. Mirenco’s technology provides an immediate and cost effective answer to aid the mining industry in protecting workers from the hazardous effects of DPM." 

Mirenco’s technology was designed under a joint development agreement with the United States Department of Energy Kansas City Plant Operated by Honeywell (DOE). The technology has received the DOE’s "Energy-100" Award, carries both the DOE seal and a California Air Resource Board (CARB) Exemption, and is patented in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. 

Additionally, Mr. Fosseen added, "We’re not a screen, filter, scrubber, or any other type of after-treatment. We eliminate the DPM problem before it happens. And, we offer the welcomed by-product of fuel savings, so the payback comes both financially and in terms of improved air quality." 

Mirenco has traditionally approached heavy duty diesel vehicle market niches such as city transit authorities, waste management trucks, buses, tractor-trailer fleets, etc. The mining industry represents a new and additional market for Mirenco’s technology. Commenting on the mining market and regulations, Mr. Fosseen stated, “There are thousands of mines in the U.S. with thousands and thousands of diesel vehicles operating underground. We intend on being the best price performance solution as these mines are obligated to comply with the new regulations. When they begin to calculate their cost of compliance and consider the available solutions, we think our solution will be a hands down winner."
