June 26 - Wind Energy America, Inc. Completes Asset Acquisition

Wind Energy America Inc. (OTCBB: WNEA) announced that it has completed its asset acquisition with Boreal Energy Inc., a Minnesota corporation. As a result of the completed transaction, WNEA is in a position to generate revenue from electrical energy sales.

Under an agreement with Boreal Energy, Inc., WNEA had the right to accept stock in Navitas Energy, Inc., a Gamesa subsidiary, or accept an equivalent value of assets. During a due diligence process, it was determined that acquiring revenue producing assets was in the best interest of WNEA.

The assets include: 160 acres of land in Lincoln County, Minnesota, where wind turbines will be operated; the Midwest Center for Wind Energy, (MCWE) a hotel, office, and maintenance facility located where existing WNEA wind projects operate and where an additional 300 megawatts will be built; two Gamesa G-52 wind turbines, ready to be commissioned, located at the MCWE site; two Gamesa G- 80 wind turbines, ready to be commissioned, located in Osceola County, Iowa; substation and transmission facilities in Minnesota and Iowa; and the Viking Wind Energy Project, located in Martin County, Minnesota with transmission service with a nameplate capacity of up to 100 megawatts. The Viking Wind Energy project is expected to be operational by 2010.

Darrel Kluge CEO of Wind Energy America stated “The wind turbines, with a combined nameplate capacity of 5.7 megawatts are expected to be operational within the next 60 days. The power will be sold under power purchase agreements already in place with Alliant Energy and Xcel Energy. The company retains the ownership of the Renewable Energy Credits or RECs on 4 megawatts. We are excited about the trends for these and look forward to seeing how the carbon offset market will affect future pricing.”

WNEA assets include interests and development rights in many projects in the upper Midwest, including certain wind turbine equipment, and other assets related to wind farms in Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, Wisconsin, and southern Ontario. As a wind farm developer, WNEA controls significant interests and rights to an extensive pipeline of wind energy projects under development. The WNEA pipeline now includes approximately 1,300 megawatts in initial and various phases of design or development, 400 of which are located southwestern Minnesota, in some of the most favorable wind regimes in North America for the generation of electricity from wind turbines.

With the rapid growth of wind power and the “greening of America”, and with the high cost of fossil fuels, wind energy is experiencing unprecedented growth. Popular support for cleaner power is driving huge investment capital into the industry. WNEA, with its new pipeline of projects, is expected to capture some of the unprecedented growth in the wind industry. Through acquisitions, development of its own projects, and ownership and operation of wind farms, WNEA will become a premier provider of wind power in the region.

June 26 - Lantis Laser's Dental Diagnostic Imaging System Can Address ADA's Recommendations for Placement of Sealants

Lantis Laser Inc. (OTC:LLSR) (www.lantislaser.com), wishes to draw attention to new, recently introduced, clinical recommendations from the American Dental Association Council on Scientific Affairs to assist clinicians in their decision-making process, for the use of composite plastic sealants over very early decay on the occlusal biting surface of teeth in children, adolescents and young adults to stop the disease from progressing.

"Placing sealants on the biting surfaces can stop early decay that is still in the enamel from progressing," pointed out Dr. Craig Gimbel, Executive Vice President of Clinical Affairs for Lantis Laser. "This article mentions that the clinician may be uncomfortable to make the decision to place a sealant because of unavailable adequate diagnostic tools for diagnosis and monitoring to ascertain if the sealant will be placed on top of existing decay in the enamel."

Dr. Gimbel went on to emphasize that, "Presently, the only accepted way to ascertain if decay is present is by recognition of tooth surface color changes, which can be misinterpreted as stains or defects instead of decay or possibly decay when it didn't exist at all." It is well documented that x-rays do not generally have the ability to image very early decay, which is important for the success of this procedure.

It is important to note that the ADA states that clinicians should not obtain radiographs for the sole purpose of placing sealants and should consult the ADA/U.S. Food and Drug Administration guidelines regarding selection criteria for dental radiographs which places limitations due to risk of radiation.

Lantis' OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) Diagnostic Imaging System(tm) will assist the clinician in making an evidence-based decision to place the sealant because of its ability to image early decay and subsurface enamel changes which is indicative of the demineralization, the first stage in the process of decay.

In addition, it will enable the dentist to monitor the sealed tooth surface area in order to determine that this non surgical method of arresting the decay has been effective. Clinical studies have shown that Lantis' OCT Diagnostic Imaging System™ is the only dedicated dental imaging system that can provide evidence for early decay demineralization and then follow the process of remineralizing as the bacteria die under the placed sealant, all without the risk of radiation. The placement of sealants will enable patients to possibly avoid invasive dental procedures, such as fillings, that are associated with later stage decay.

Lantis' OCT Dental Imaging System™ is based on novel light-based, bio-medical imaging technology, Optical Coherence Tomography, that enables the dentist to do diagnostic imaging, chairside and in real-time. As the power source is light-based, unlike x-ray there is no harmful radiation. Images can be captured at a resolution of up to 10 times that of x-ray, enabling early detection of decay and detailed examination of microstructural defects.

June 26 - Copper King Mining Corporation Provides Mining Updates

Copper King Mining Corporation (OTC: CPRK), an ore mining, processing and exploration company located in southern Utah, provided updates concerning its mining operations at the Hidden Treasure open pit near Milford, Utah.

Copper King commenced stripping the waste rock from its “Hidden Treasure Copper Skarn Ore Body” in June of 2007, removing approximately 2.2 million tons of such waste rock by drilling, blasting and excavation. Removal of the waste rock revealed the presence of some extreme unexpected and unknown high grade copper and silver ores, such as the important copper ore mineral bornite, the beautiful crystal covellite, and the high yielding copper ore cuprite. For example, two samples from the ore zone showed the following:

Sample #1 (44.6% copper, Ag 19.26 oz.)
Sample #2 (51.0% copper, Ag 28.00 oz.)

Sample #1 represents 892 pounds of copper per ton of ore, compared to the expected grade of 1.8% copper or 36 pounds of copper per ton of ore. Sample #2 represents 1,020 pounds of copper per ton. The company believes that these samples may represent shoots or veins that occur between the drill holes on 50 foot centers. It is presently unknown how many tons of ore are available. However, even a small tonnage of these materials may substantially increase the pounds of available copper, the ounces of silver and the grade of the concentrate, all of which augment the value of the company’s mining holdings and increase shareholder value.

IBEAM plans on adding 30 new high-tech jobs in Fort Wayne over the next 2 years."

"The development of GC2000 project has been a major focus for our company. In addition to building up raw material inventory, purchasing equipment and payroll, there has been a great amount of resources dedicated to advancing the GC2000 project to this point in such a short period of time. The preparation of architectural drawings and the final laboratory testing has been expensive. I anticipate wrapping up final terms with VESCOR by the middle of July.

June 24 - Genta Updates Progress of its Phase 3 Trial of Genasense® in Patients with Advanced Melanoma

Clinical Study on Track to Complete Accrual in Fourth Quarter 2008

Genta Incorporated (OTCBB: GNTA) announced the presentation of a progress update from an ongoing Phase 3 trial of Genasense® (oblimersen sodium) Injection, the Company's lead oncology product, in patients with advanced melanoma. The data were presented at a satellite investigator's meeting held in conjunction with the Adjuvant Melanoma Congress sponsored by the European Association of Dermato-Oncology (EADO) in Marseille, France on June 21, 2008.

AGENDA is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial that is intended to support global registration of Genasense for patients with advanced melanoma. The study is designed to confirm certain safety and efficacy results from Genta's prior randomized trial of Genasense combined with dacarbazine (DTIC) in patients identified by a biomarker who have not previously received chemotherapy. The co-primary endpoints of AGENDA are progression-free survival and overall survival. The trial is being led by the EADO in Europe and by the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX in the U.S.

To date, more than one-third of the expected total number of patients have now been randomized onto the AGENDA trial. A total of 83 sites in 12 countries have been opened in Europe, the U.S., Canada, and Australia. Clinical characteristics of the first 70 patients accrued to AGENDA (not identified by treatment group) were shown to be similar to the biomarker-defined population accrued in the previous Phase 3 trial of Genasense, known as GM301. The incidence of serious adverse events in AGENDA has been somewhat lower, which probably reflects the routine use of prescribed supportive care for all patients, as well as the double-blind design of AGENDA compared with the open-label design of GM301. Target accrual of 300 patients is expected to complete in the fourth quarter of 2008, with initial data expected shortly thereafter.

ABOUT AGENDA

AGENDA is a global Phase 3, randomized, double-blind trial in patients with advanced melanoma. The study is designed to confirm certain safety and efficacy results from an antecedent randomized trial of Genasense combined with dacarbazine (DTIC) in patients who have not previously received chemotherapy (GM301). AGENDA employs a biomarker to define those patients who derived maximum clinical benefit during the preceding study. These patients are characterized by low-normal levels of LDH (lactate dehydrogenase), a tumor-derived enzyme that is readily detected in blood.

A scientific article that describes efficacy and safety results from GM301 can be accessed at www.jco.org/cgi/content/abstract/JCO.2006.06.0483v1.

June 26 - Independent Bank Corporation Announces Cash Dividend and Outlook for Second Quarter 2008 Results

Independent Bank Corporation (NASDAQ: IBCP), a Michigan-based bank holding company, announced that its Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.01 per share on the Company's common stock. The dividend will be payable on July 31, 2008 to all shareholders of record as of July 7, 2008.

As previously disclosed, the Company stated that it would consider a number of internal and external factors in determining the amount of its quarterly dividends. The current dividend reduction is intended to preserve capital and avoid the need to access the capital markets for equity. It also reflects the prevailing unsettled current market environment and continued weak economic conditions in Michigan, which have resulted in elevated credit costs. The Company noted it has four issues of trust-preferred securities outstanding, including a $50.6 million issue that is publicly traded on the NASDAQ. The Company has no intention to modify or discontinue the payment of quarterly dividends on any of its trust-preferred securities.

The Company also announced several items related to its second quarter 2008 outlook:

* Independent Bank remains well capitalized. Capital ratios are generally expected to rise at June 30, 2008 as earnings are anticipated to exceed the reduced dividend.

* Given the reduced dividend level, anticipated earnings, and efforts to reduce total assets to further improve capital ratios, the Company's Board of Directors does not presently expect to raise additional capital through any type of equity offering.

* Second quarter 2008 earnings are expected to range between $0.09 and $0.12 per share. This earnings range is based on an expected loan-loss provision of approximately $13 million and $1.2 million in charge-offs of other real estate. Offsetting the elevated credit costs are expected increases in net interest income and non-interest income.

* The Company remains intensely focused on improving asset quality. Total non-performing assets are expected to rise to between $130 million to $145 million at June 30, 2008. The majority of the increase from March 31, 2008 levels are due to loans that were already in watch credit status.

Michael M. Magee, President and CEO of Independent Bank Corporation, commented: "The decision to further reduce the common stock cash dividend was very difficult. However, further improving our capital ratios will better position the Company to weather the difficult economic and credit environment. We are also encouraged by the strength of our earnings before loan losses and taxes, which is allowing the Company to absorb these elevated credit costs."
