Micron Enviro Systems, Inc. has acquired a 50 percent interest in six new strategically located Alberta Oil Sands sections, the company announced. Two of these new sections are located within and contiguous to the city of Fort McMurray, Alberta. Fort McMurray is the primary city where most of the largest Oil Sands facilities are located near, including Syncrude, Suncor and Petro-Canada. The other four new sections are located in the Peace River Oil Sands region and are contiguous to the recent acquisitions that were made last month. This now gives Micron eight contiguous sections at a location in the Peace River Oil Sands Region near the Shell/Blackrock Seal Producing project. Both of these acquisitions were paid for from funds that were in the bank.

Bernard McDougall, Micron’s president stated, “These new acquisitions may well be the most important acquisitions made by the company to date. To acquire two sections contiguous to the most important and world recognized Oil Sands city of Fort McMurray will provide Micron with tremendous exposure. The majority of the largest Oil Sands projects in the world are located in close proximity to Fort McMurray. Not only did Micron acquire the Fort McMurray sections, but we also secured four new sections contiguous to our recently announced Peace River sections. This now gives Micron eight contiguous sections at a location in Peace River that is in close proximity to the Shell/BlackRock Seal Project. Either one of these acquisitions on a stand alone basis could constitute our most important acquisition, but two at once is a major step forward in strengthening our Oil Sands holdings and clearly proves our commitment to building shareholder value. In the last six weeks, Micron has increased its net land holdings in the Alberta Oil Sands significantly, yet the share price has not reflected this increase in net land holdings. The board is excited about the future development of the company primarily because Micron is currently one of, if not the smallest market capitalized company in the world-class Alberta Oil Sands, which gives Micron tremendous leverage to the one of the largest know resource deposits in the world.”

Micron has been informed by the operator of the Leismer Prospect that the evaluation of the property is not yet complete but is expected shortly. As soon as the report is forwarded to Micron’s management, the information will be released to the public. This prospect lies directly between Petrobank and North American Oil Sands and a review of the initial data indicates that the formation and thickness on Micron’s property are consistent with these companies. Petrobank has stated a potential resource of 1.6 billion barrels and North American Oil Sands has stated 4.09 billion potential barrels in ground.

Micron has also confirmed that representatives from the company will be attending two significant financial trade shows, one in Toronto, Canada on March 4-7 2007, and the other in Stuttgart, Germany in March 16-18, 2007.

Micron is an emerging oil and gas company that now has exposure to seven separate leases consisting of intrest in 20.5 gross sections in the Oil Sands of Alberta, Canada, which is the largest Oil Sands region in the world, and has minor production from multiple conventional oil and gas wells. Micron’s goal is to become a junior oil and gas producer that focuses on the exploration, discovery and delivery of gas and oil to the North American marketplace. Micron continues to look for additional projects that would contribute to building Micron’s market capitalization, including additional Oil Sands projects.
