Notes to Editors:

MicroFuze International plc
MicroFuze is a metals technology company which owns, through its 85% owned subsidiary MicroFuze
Americas, Inc., the sole licence to commercialise the US Department of Energy's patented process for
Microwave Diffusion Treatment ("MDT") discovered by their Oak Ridge, Tennessee Nuclear Research
Facility.  The US Department of Energy retains a 10% interest in MicroFuze Americas and Harley Grant,
the Oak Ridge inventor of the process, holds the remaining 5% of MicroFuze Americas shares.
Because MDT is quicker, cheaper and cleaner than all known existing surface treatments of metals, it
provides significant physical, economic and environmental advantages.  MDT can make cheap steel nearly
impenetrable and has a large number of potential uses for parts, components and accessories which
require hardening, lubricity, wear resistance and corrosion protection.  Industries that will benefit
from MDT include power generation, automotive, aeronautical and general manufacturing in a global
market worth US$6 billion annually.
