						Copenhagen, January 28, 2008

Aresa A/S has entered into new agreements regarding continued use of test sites
in Croatia and Serbia. 

Aresa A/S has entered into new agreements with their cooperation partners in
Croatia and Serbia regarding use of the two test sites, which were established
in 2007. 

The agreement with the National Center for Training and Accreditation of Mine
Action (HCR-CTRO) in Croatia has been renewed for 2008. The center is important
for the activities of Aresa: using land mines in various tests, including soil
sampling; mechanical mine clearing tests; and experimental seeding of tobacco
in mine fields. 

In Serbia, the agreement with the leading plant breeding institute within
tobacco plants has been prolonged by another year. The agreement gives Aresa
the opportunity to start seeding newly developed tobacco plants in the open in
soil spiked with different concentrations of explosives during the growth
season of 2008. The experiment will enable Aresa to select the proper plants
for the future commercialization of RedDetect®.
