June 11 - BioSolar Highlighted Nationally in Media Reports Focused on Growth of Solar Market and Company's Competitive Advantage

Company's BioBacksheet™ Causing Industry-Wide Interest in Shift to Petroleum-Free Components to Ensure that Entire Solar Industry Becomes Financially Sustainable

BioSolar™, Inc. (OTCBB: BSRC), developer of a breakthrough technology to produce bio-based materials from renewable plant sources that reduce the cost of photovoltaic solar cells, has been cited in recent news media reports exploring the increasing demand for bio-based solar cell components, which will help the entire industry make photovoltaic solar cells more financially viable by substantially lowering the cost of the cells through the use of petroleum-free materials.

In this week’s CLEANTECH column in energy trade publication California Energy Circuit, (CLEANTECH: Making Solar Power Fossil Free, June 6 2008 issue), energy correspondent William J. Kelly discusses the concept of life-cycle testing — utilizing the entire life-cycle of a product and its components to determine its total carbon footprint — noting that solar cells generate 0.04 kilograms of carbon dioxide per kilowatt of electricity generated.1 The article goes on to note that clean energy researchers see that level declining dramatically due to improvements in the materials used to make the solar cells.

“This article recognizes that BioSolar’s BioBacksheet™ is quickly becoming a driving force in a shift to replace plastic petroleum-based solar cell components with environmentally-friendlier fossil-free ones derived from plant-based products,” said Dr. David Lee, CEO of BioSolar. “This industry-wide trend is expected to continue accelerating as the cost benefits of bio-based products continue to far outperform petroleum-based products. Plus, by making solar cells fossil-free, we are also making the solar cell — and the entire solar industry — more financially sustainable. Products like the BioBacksheet™, among other new products from BioSolar, are helping the industry attain its long sought goal of weaning itself from governmental subsidies and achieving economic viability.”

BioSolar was also the subject of a piece in GreenTech Pastures, veteran newsman Harry Fuller’s column at ZDnet.com (http://blogs.zdnet.com/green/?p=1083). Noting that BioSolar’s “BioBacksheet” is made entirely of plant-based materials, Mr. Fuller’s article states that BioSolar has found a “way to really green solar: turning green plants into photovoltaics.”

The article also highlights another compelling business point: while other bio-based plastics are made from corn-starch or potato-starch derivatives, which are currently experiencing a surge in price, all of the plant-based materials used by BioSolar’s products are made from plants that are non-food based. This bodes well for the company’s pricing and market penetration strategy because BioSolar is more insulated from the negative effects of the recent run-up in food commodity pricing.

“This article is further evidence that we are succeeding in our mission to lead the industry both in terms of appealing to our customer base as well as industry influencers and that the products in our development pipeline are poised to experience the same rapid market acceptance in the multi-billion dollar photovoltaic market,” said Lee.

June 10 - Changing Political Climate May Create Massive Market Opportunity for Carbon Sciences

Carbon Sciences, Inc. (OTCBB: CABN), the developer of a breakthrough technology to transform harmful carbon dioxide (CO2) into high value, earth-friendly products, announced its support of regulations to curb emissions of carbon dioxide.

"The political winds have recently shifted in a direction that appears to be very favorable for companies, such as ours, that offer carbon mitigation solutions," stated Derek McLeish, CEO of Carbon Sciences. "Senators John McCain and Barack Obama, the presumptive presidential nominees of their respective political parties both favor regulation. On the Congressional level, the climate change bill sponsored by Senators Joe Lieberman, John Warner and Barbara Boxer has been praised as one of the most important pieces of legislation in a long time. We heartily endorse their efforts."

Last week, Senator McCain launched his November election campaign by vowing to free America from dependence on foreign oil and cited his plans to cut emissions and fight global warming — a clear break from the current administration's energy policy. Democratic nominee, Senator Obama, also announced his support of plans to cap U.S. greenhouse gas emissions.

Active deliberation of legislation is favorable for Carbon Sciences. While the company's current business strategy does not depend on governmental legislation for initial commercial success, the passing of any form of legislation that would regulate carbon dioxide emissions could instantly open up a massive market for the company's breakthrough carbon transformation technology.

Mr. McLeish commented further, "We are in full support of these legislative efforts. Perhaps a successful bill may take a different shape than the current Senate proposal, but we believe that serious political action is highly likely to occur no later than early next year."

"We live in a very exciting time," continued Mr. McLeish. "Since announcing our clean-tech PCC strategy last month, we have received numerous inquiries from interested business partners. The outlook is very encouraging. There aren't many entrepreneurial opportunities in a person's lifetime where one can create great value while serving a noble cause. John Doerr, the legendary Silicon Valley venture capitalist, stated it well when he said that stopping global warming is the largest economic opportunity of the 21st century, and a moral imperative. We agree and are very excited to help meet this challenge."

June 11 - Biovest Reports Blinded Results for Phase 3 Study Evaluating Anti-Cancer Vaccine, BiovaxID(R), which Shows 100% Difference in Disease-Free Survival at 36 Months in the Comparative Arms

Final Unblinded Results Are Expected to Confirm Efficacy Of BiovaxID for the Treatment of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Biovest International, Inc. (OTCBB: BVTI), a majority-owned subsidiary of Accentia Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASD: ABPI), reported what the Company believes to be highly encouraging blinded results from its randomized controlled pivotal Phase 3 Fast-Tracked clinical trial of BiovaxID® (anti-idiotype vaccine) for the treatment of indolent follicular non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL), an often fatal blood cancer.

The Company reported blinded disease-free survival data for those patients that have completed 36 months of follow-up subsequent to randomization in both the treatment and control arms, with one arm demonstrating 100% improvement in disease-free survival over the other arm. Disease-free survival (how long patients remain in cancer-free remission) is the primary endpoint of the study.

According to Steven Arikian, M.D., Chairman and CEO of Biovest International, “In the accompanying graph, one curve shows those patients at 36 months in the BiovaxID arm and the other curve shows those patients at 36 months in the control arm who received a non-specific immunostimulant (KLH/GM-CSF).

“Although these results are blinded, this data shows two distinct populations in the study, with unequivocal evidence of a difference in disease-free survival among the two arms. This is in direct contrast to previous anti-NHL vaccine failures which showed little difference between the treatment arm and the control arm. Based on the similar pattern to our Phase 2 data, we have a high degree of confidence that the cohort demonstrating superior disease-free survival represents the BiovaxID arm,” stated Dr. Arikian.

Dr. Angelos Stergiou, Biovest’s Vice President, Product Development, added, “We know that in our Phase 2 trial, the control arm showed a median disease-free survival of approximately 20 months, which is consistent with the inferior arm in our blinded Phase 3 results, and supports our strong belief that the group demonstrating clinical benefit is the BiovaxID arm.”

ABOUT BIOVAXID®

BiovaxID is a personalized, patient-specific therapeutic vaccine designed to stimulate the patient's own immune system to recognize and destroy cancerous B-cells that may remain in the body or may arise after the patient has been treated with chemotherapy. Unlike many other approaches to treating non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, BiovaxID is designed to kill only cancerous B-cells, with the initial indication of follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Additionally, we anticipate that BiovaxID could potentially be used to treat other types of B-cell cancers, such as Mantle Cell Lymphoma, Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia and Multiple Myeloma.

At a meeting of the International Society of Sports Nutrition held in Las Vegas, Nevada, a fourth clinical study of Celsius, the original calorie burning beverage, was unveiled showing that consumption of Celsius® as a pre-workout beverage resulted in dramatic improvements in the benefits of exercise among a test group of previously sedentary individuals.

The first phase of the study showed that drinking a single 12oz. serving of Celsius per day for 10 weeks dramatically improves the benefits of light to moderate exercise. The test subjects consuming Celsius lost significantly more fat mass and gained more muscle mass than subjects drinking the placebo, and significantly improved their cardiovascular endurance during exercise.

According to the preliminary findings of the study, those subjects consuming a single serving of Celsius lost significantly more fat mass and gained significantly more fat-free mass (muscle mass) than those subjects consuming the placebo – a 93.8% greater loss in fat and 50% greater gain in fat-free mass, respectively. The study also confirmed that subjects consuming Celsius significantly improved measures of cardio-respiratory fitness (VO2peak) and the ability to delay the onset of fatigue when exercising to exhaustion (time-to-exhaustion). In fact, the Celsius group outperformed those consuming the placebo by 62.5% for VO2peak and 32.5% for time-to-exhaustion.

Celsius Holdings, Inc. has previously reported on breakthrough findings on other clinical studies dating back to June 11, 2005, when its first clinical study was presented at a meeting of the International Society of Sports Nutrition in New Orleans. In addition to showing that a single 12oz. serving of Celsius burns up to 100 calories, additional studies have shown that the impact of Celsius does not attenuate and that test subjects showed the calorie burning benefits of Celsius over a 28-day period, with no clinically adverse changes to important health markers.

This most recent 10-week blinded placebo-controlled study was conducted on a total of 37 previously sedentary men and women. Subjects were randomly assigned into one of two groups: Group 1 consumed one serving of Celsius per day, and Group 2 consumed one serving of an identically flavored and labeled placebo beverage. Both groups participated in 10 weeks of combined aerobic and weight training, following the American College of Sports Medicine guidelines for previously sedentary adults. Fifteen minutes prior to each workout, participants consumed Celsius or the placebo; on non-training days, subjects consumed one beverage at any time of their choosing. Subjects’ diet was left uncontrolled (i.e. subjects were not instructed to change their diet).

“This study suggests that Celsius provides a significant, additive adaptation to the benefits of regular exercise,” stated Jeffrey R. Stout, Ph.D., who served as the Chief Researcher on the study, at the University of Oklahoma. “Specifically, consuming Celsius prior to exercise appears to augment ones’ training response to both aerobic and resistance (weight) training. Furthermore,” said Stout, “because we didn’t observe a statistically significant difference in strength between groups, but instead found significant improvements in body composition and cardiorespiratory fitness in those consuming the Celsius beverage, there appears to be preferential sequestering of fat for fuel, occurring both during exercise and while at rest. The same findings were previously reported out of Dr. Kerkisk’s lab.” Dr. Stout concluded by stating, “these are very interesting findings that, in my opinion, will set the tone for how people maximize their workouts. – Now it can be scientifically supported that, by consuming a pre-workout calorie burning beverage, a person can improve their response to exercise; however, these claims are unique to Celsius.”

“This latest clinical study, the fourth one with Celsius, exemplifies our commitment to solid clinical research. It clearly extends the proven functionality of Celsius to improving the benefits of regular exercise. This study confirms what the scientists have always told us, but the results are significantly better than what we anticipated,” said Steve Haley, CEO of Celsius, Inc. “This most recent study, where we combined Celsius and exercise, was the next logical step in clinical research and further demonstrates our commitment to providing healthier choices so people can easily make lifestyle changes, live healthier lives and attain their fitness goals.”

June 10 - Canadian Zinc Submits Permit Applications for Production at the Prairie Creek Mine

Canadian Zinc Corporation (OTCBB: CZICF) (Toronto: CZN) (the "Company" or "Canadian Zinc") is extremely pleased to announce that applications have been submitted to the Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board (the "MVLWB") for permits for the proposed operations and production at the Prairie Creek Mine (the "Project") in the Northwest Territories.

After completing numerous exploration, engineering, environmental studies, and recently completing a major underground development and metallurgical program, CZN has now applied for a Type "A" Water Licence and Type "A" Land Use Permit ("LUP") for the operation of the Prairie Creek Mine.

The proposed new operation at Prairie Creek utilizes the extensive existing infrastructure and facilities that were built in the 1980's which will be upgraded and enhanced to meet the highest environmental standards. The improvements proposed for specific site facilities will further mitigate the potential impact the Project may have on the environment. For example, the permanent disposal of filtered mill tailings as underground backfill instead of on the surface is proposed.

"It has taken a long time to get to this point but the location of the Project has always dictated a very stringent approach to environmental management and mitigation" said Chief Operating Officer Alan Taylor. Since 2001 various aspects of the project have already been subjected to five environmental assessments by the Mackenzie Valley Environmental Impact Review Board and Canadian Zinc has successfully obtained five land use permits and a Type "B" water licence to carry out the necessary exploration and development programs at the mine site. The Company currently holds a Type "B" Water Licence and Land Use Permit for underground exploration and development and metallurgical testing and a Land Use Permit for surface exploration throughout the Prairie Creek property. The Company also holds a Land Use Permit and a Water Licence for the use and repair of the existing road that connects the mine with the Liard highway.

"As a result of its previous experience in obtaining permits the Company has first-hand knowledge of the Mackenzie Valley permitting process and has incorporated extensive responsible environmental mitigative measures within this application. In turn, the regulatory and government agencies have developed a good understanding of the Prairie Creek Project, all of which should assist in expediting the new permit applications." Alan Taylor added.

The permit applications are currently under review by the MVLWB at this time and may be viewed on the MVLWB website at www.mvlwb.ca or on the Company website at www.canadianzinc.com.

The Proposed Prairie Creek Mine Operation:

Mineral Resource Basis

The Prairie Creek Mine mineralization occurs as both Vein and Stratabound type deposits. Based on a recently completed detailed underground exploration and development program an updated mineral resource was calculated in 2007 (in accordance with the requirements of National Instrument 43-101 Standards for Disclosure for Mineral Projects) which defines an overall Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource totalling 5,158,164 tonnes grading 10.8% Pb, 11.3% Zn, 175 g/t Ag and 0.4% Cu. This is sufficient for more than 10 years of operations at the planned production rates. In addition, there is an open-ended inferred resource of 5,541,576 tonnes grading 11.4% Pb, 13.5% Zn, 215 g/t Ag and 0.5% Cu. Mineral resources were reported in a 43-101 compliant Technical Report dated October 12, 2007, prepared by MineFill Services Inc. (Dr. David Stone and Stephen Godden — Qualified Independent Persons).

Environment

Extensive environmental data has been collected at the Prairie Creek Mine Site over recent years to update and add to the baseline information that was collected previously as far back as the late 1970's. Sixteen years of water flow data have been recorded on the Prairie Creek watercourse adjacent to the Mine Site. CZN now has an extensive database on water quality, stream flows, local climatic variables, and the wildlife in the area.

The Mine

All mining will be performed from underground. Underground development and workings (about 5,000 metres) already exist on three levels, including the new 600 metre decline driven in 2006/07. Proposed production rates will initially start at 600 tonnes/day and will build to 1,200 tonnes/day. Mining will occur on a year round basis by cut-and-fill methods. Mine voids will be backfilled with a mix of filtered tailings, waste rock aggregate and cement. The current planned mine life is 14 years.

The Mill

The Mill, which is already constructed on site but never operated, will process 600-1,200 tonnes/day. Ore will be crushed to a gravel-size and subjected to dense media separation ("DMS"). The lighter, uneconomic "gangue" minerals (about 30%) will create a waste rock aggregate. Denser material will be processed further by grinding and flotation to produce concentrates of lead sulphide, zinc sulphide and lead oxide. No hazardous chemicals will be used in the process.

Concentrates and Road Haul

The concentrates will be bagged, stored under cover and trucked off-site on flat-deck trailers over the winter road. CZN holds a Type "A" LUP (MV2003F0028) for the use of the winter road from the Prairie Creek Mine to the Liard Highway. The permit for the existing road has been determined to be exempt from environmental assessment (Canadian Zinc Corporation vs. MVLWB, NWT Supreme Court, 2004). CZN has also applied for Type "A" LUP's for two new transfer facilities to be located approximately mid-point along the winter road and at the junction of the winter road with the Liard Highway.

Waste Management

All flotation tailings will be backfilled into the voids in the underground mine in a mix with the waste rock aggregate and cement. The flotation tailings are expected to be non-acid generating with low sulphide content and excess buffering capacity. Waste rock from underground development along with excess waste rock aggregate from the DMS plant will be placed in an engineered Waste Rock Pile ("WRP") in the adjacent Harrison Creek valley.

Water Management

An existing large pond, originally intended in 1980 for tailings disposal, will be reconfigured, relined and recertified to form a two-celled Water Storage Pond. Mine drainage, treated sewage water and WRP runoff will report to the first cell. Water for the mill process will be taken from this first cell. Excess water from the first cell will overflow into the second cell. Used water from the Mill will also report to the second cell. The second cell will feed a water treatment plant. The treated water will discharge to the existing certified Polishing Pond and from there into the existing Catchment Pond, before final discharge to the environment.

Site Infrastructure

The Site presently contains a near complete mill, three levels of underground workings, a fuel tank farm, office facilities, accommodation facilities and workshops. Existing buildings and structures will be upgraded and modernized. New facilities will include fuel-efficient low-emission power generation units, a kitchen/accommodation block, concentrate shed and an incinerator.

Socio-Economics and Manpower

The operation of the Prairie Creek Mine will provide substantial economic stimulus to the region, and presents a unique opportunity to enhance the social and economic well-being of the surrounding communities. There will be approximately 220 direct full time jobs, half of this number being on-site at any one time. Personnel will generally work a three weeks on, three weeks off schedule (with variations as required). CZN's objective is to employ a workforce with a 35% northern content, and a minimum 15% First Nations content assisted by training programs. In addition, there will be many indirect business and employment opportunities, mostly related to transport and supply of the Mine Site and environmental monitoring and management.

Mine Closure

At the end of the Mine's life, the Site will be reclaimed. The underground development will be backfilled. Bulkheads at strategic points will help limit the movement of groundwater. The objective is to create a complete seal to ensure there is no long term mine drainage. The WRP will be covered and sealed with a clay-rich soil. Site buildings and infrastructure, if deemed not to have any future use, will be dismantled and the Site will be returned to its natural setting.

Background

The Prairie Creek Mine ("Mine" or "Site") is 100% owned by Canadian Zinc Corporation ("CZN" or "Canadian Zinc"), and is situated in the southern Mackenzie Mountains of the Northwest Territories. The Site presently contains significant infrastructure and facilities constructed in the early 1980's. The Mine received a Water Licence (#N3L3-0932) and Land Use Permit (N80F248) in 1980 for mine operation and the production of lead and zinc concentrates and a silver-bearing copper concentrate. The Mine was within three months from production when the then owner was placed into receivership as a result of the decline in the price of silver.
