Earth Search Sciences, Inc. (OTCBB:ESSE), a leading commercial
provider of revolutionary hyperspectral remote sensing technology,
today announced it has been issued a patent on its third-generation
imaging instrument, the OmniProbe. The OmniProbe will deliver
vastly improved spectral and spatial resolution to a wide range of
resource industries at a fraction of the cost of its leading-edge
predecessor instrument, Probe 1. In addition, it will provide a
greater number of applications for use. The first generation of
hyperspectral instruments weigh 500-plus pounds and are
approximately six feet in diameter. Earth Search�s new instrument �
influenced by nanotechnology and microelectronics (MEMs) � will
weigh less than 40 pounds, will be approximately the size of a
shoebox, and will attach to virtually any airborne platform.
OmniProbe will quickly and accurately map targets of interest from
altitudes of 35,000 feet, at speeds of 500 to 600 knots per hour,
and will possess telescoping optics to scope down to 6 inch data.
According to Larry Vance, Chairman of Earth Search, this
third-generation instrument is destined to surpass Probe 1 in all
operating characteristics, including resolution, survey efficiency,
data reliability, and substantial signal-to-noise reduction. These
advances will allow the company to move forward with the next stage
of its strategic business plan. Both designs were developed and are
owned by Earth Search Sciences. �As we move into the next stage of
our strategy, our newly-advanced instrument will enable us to joint
venture with mineral, hydrocarbon, environmental, and military
resource industries to quickly map targets of interest more
precisely and economically than any instrument with which we�re
familiar," said Vance. �We�re excited by the potential of OmniProbe
to collect and process data that will locate commercial resource
opportunities for our customers. We believe that OmniProbe has the
potential to further increase shareholder value by adding to our
existing data archives at a much faster rate than previously
experienced.� About Earth Search Sciences Earth Search Sciences,
Inc.�s (OTCBB:ESSE) revolutionary hyperspectral technology provides
the ability to accurately read the chemical properties of surface
substances from great altitudes and produce easily interpreted maps
allowing the user to identify specific minerals and substances on
the surface of the earth by their diagnostic reflectance patterns.
Ultimately, this remote sensing capability�identifies a greater
number of exploration targets quickly and economically, monitors
the environmental situation, and improves the probability of
finding anomalies. Older, more conventional methods would
take�decades to cover the same area, and at a much greater cost.
Within the realm of exploration, remote sensing does not replace
the need for geological knowledge, geochemistry, geophysics,
seismic, drilling, etc., which are some of the more conventional
tools used for exploration. This news release includes
forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and
uncertainties. The information reflects numerous assumptions as to
industry performance, general business and economic conditions,
regulatory and legal requirements, taxes and other matters, many of
which are beyond the control of the company. Similarly, this
information assumes certain future business decisions that are
subject to change. There can be no assurance that the results
predicted here will be realized. Actual results may vary from those
represented, and those variations may be material.
