Micron Enviro Finalizes Alberta Oil Sands Agreement


VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 1, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Micron Enviro Systems, Inc. (OTCBB:MSEV) (Frankfurt:NDD) ("Micron") is extremely pleased to announce that Micron has executed formal documentation in regards to its Oil Sands Limited Partnership. This partnership has now secured four separate Alberta Oil Sands leases that are close to the existing Oil Sands leases held by Connacher Oil and Gas's Great Divide Prospect, as well as to other major Oil Sands projects by Devon, EnCana, and ConocoPhilips. Micron's other acquired Alberta Oil Sands lease consists of two contiguous sections that lie just southwest of the announced Royal Dutch Shell Plc Oil Sands leases which they recently purchased for approximately $400 million.

Micron also recently announced plans to forward split its stock on a 3 for 1 basis for shareholders of record on June 12, 2006. Micron has filed the required certificate of change with the Nevada Secretary of State and is awaiting a response. What this means is that for each one share you own on that day, you will hold three shares of Micron stock after the split. For example, if you own 10,000 shares as of record date (June 12, 2006), you will hold 30,000 of the new shares with a new CUSIP number, giving you ownership of a total of 30,000 shares of the company. Management feels a forward split would reward the existing and new shareholders of record and assist in curbing the possible naked shorting of the stock.

Micron is currently undertaking a new marketing initiative to create additional awareness for the company. This plan will primarily be email based and will target 100 percent opt-in private and intuitional investors that trade stocks in Micron's price range. This new marketing initiative will be on-going over the coming months.

Bernie McDougall, President of Micron stated, "We are very excited about the future of Micron. We now have formalized the Oil Sands Partnership and are currently have petroleum engineers on site. With the current global trends showing increased demand, especially from China, the timing on acquiring and developing the Alberta Oil Sands could not be more opportune. When you take into account the current near all time highs on oil prices and that the shares are trading close to 35% below the high recently set, we feel that the Micron shares may not be reflecting the current value of the company, especially since the company's current liabilities have decreased by over 75% and the current assets have increased by 10 times during the past quarter. At this time, Micron is one of if not the smallest market capitalized companies with exposure to multiple Alberta Oil Sands prospects."

Micron has just recently retained independent petroleum consultants to initiate the operations on the Athabasca Oil Sands Prospect. An evaluation of the potential reserves, estimated development and operation costs, estimated future capital expenditures, and other pertinent information regarding the potential development of this Oil Sands prospect is expected to follow.

Micron is also currently looking into expanding its exposure to the Alberta Oil Sands. These new ventures include new oil sands partnerships and/or new oil sands leases.

The Oil Sands of Canada hold recoverable reserves of 175 billion barrels with a proven reserve life of 480 years and another 130 billion barrels of potential reserves, which is second only to Saudi Arabia's 262 billion barrels. As a comparison, the United States has only 29 billion barrels of recoverable reserves and has decreasing domestic production while their demand is increasing by 1-2% every year. Canada is in an optimal position to supply oil to the U.S. with its favorable political climate, close proximity and being one of the few non-OPEC countries which can grow its oil production.

Micron is an emerging oil and gas company that has exposure to four separate leases in the Athabasca Oil Sands of Alberta, Canada, which is the largest Oil Sands region in the world, and has production from multiple conventional oil and gas wells. Micron is one of if not the smallest market capitalized companies with exposure to multiple Alberta Oil Sands. 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 currently has multiple independent sources of oil and/or gas revenue from production in Canada and Texas. Micron is presently involved in multiple oil and gas prospects, and continues to look for additional projects that would contribute to building Micron's market capitalization, including additional Oil Sands projects.
