Optimum Performance; Showcases 7.41 Acres Jatropha Demo-Farm, GreenGold Ray

Participates in World Bank & NCIP Joint Sponsor Tribal Leaders Summit
Conference
CAGAYAN DE ORO, PHILIPPINES, April 13, 2009-- GreenGold Ray Energies,
Inc., (PINK SHEETS:
GRYE)
announces that recent studies have shown that a 40% to 50% jatropha oil blend
with standard diesel oil provides optimum performance without any engine
modification and preheating of the blends. Although, there had been some
concerns that jatropha-based fuels may harm engine performance. This equates
to huge demand if governments begin to impose minimum blends similar to that
of ethanol.
The full potential of jatropha is far from being realized for both technical
and economic reasons. Growth and management of the plant is poorly documented
and there is little experience marketing its end products. Therefore, jatropha
growers often do not achieve the highest output of products that would bring
the greatest reward. However, GreenGold is quickly changing the landscape
by creating this documentation, patenting our processes, and finding new
ways to increase the plants' output and monetization for farmers growing
the plant. GreenGold continues to increase the jatropha feedstocks, whose
demands had more than tripled. GreenGold had signed up more working alliances
and joint ventures with the indigenous people as jatrophas growers.
In response, GreenGold is getting ready to showcase its 7.41 acres of Jatropha
Demo-Farm in Agusan Del Sur, Mindanao. For the past 2 weeks, the tilling
of the soil for propagation and jatropha planting, plus the construction
of on-site greenhouse and farmhouse for our agriculturists, had begun. The
Dept. of Energy and Natural Resources (DENR) and local government officials
are looking forward to visiting GreenGold's first, one of a kind Jatropha
Demo-Farm. Shareholders and all visitors are welcome to view our Jatropha
Demo-Farm.
Other News & Media Coverage
"Renewable energy, it turns out, does grow on trees. The fruit pods plucked
from jatropha trees have seeds that produce clean-burning diesel fuel. But
unlike corn and other biofuel sources, the jatropha doesn't have to compete
with food crops for arable land. Even in the worst of soils, it grows like
weeds." -- Time Magazine (01/29/2009)
"By some estimates, the per-barrel cost to produce biofuel using jatropha,
about $43 is about half that of corn and roughly one-third that of rapeseed,
two other leading materials for alternative energy. At those prices, jatropha
biodiesel would be competitive with fuel made from crude oil without significant
government subsidies." -- Wall Street Journal (08/24/2007)
TRIBAL LEADERS SUMMIT CONFERENCE CO-SPONSORED BY WORLD BANK & NCIP: CEO
Manolo Tecson and GreenGold were invited to participate in the joint NCIP
(National Commission for Indigenous People) and World Bank's sponsored Tribal
Chieftains (Leader) Summit Conference being held on April 14th - 15th.
This is a very important Tribal Leaders Conference, focusing on the analysis
and strengthening of the institutional effectiveness of the National Commission
for the Indigenous People. Topics include discussions on global warming,
proposed alternative and renewable energy using the Jatropha. CEO Manolo
Tecson, with his diplomatic leadership, is one of the keynote speakers to
deliver information on (1) alternative and renewable energy source, (2)
development, cultivation and propagation of Jatrophas in the tribal ancestral
land domains, (3) brief overviews of the company's Jatropha propagation,
(4) then, the implementation of the necessary tools and insights for successful
Jatropha business enterprise as jatropha growers, and (5) the working alliance
and partnership with GreenGold Ray Energies.
"We are very thrilled about participating in this NCIP Tribal Leaders Summit
Meeting and Jatropha Issues. The event is an ideal opportunity to increase
public awareness of GreenGold's Working Alliance and Partnership with Indigenous
Tribal People. GreenGold is committed to partner and to share ideas with
all other potentially experienced Jatropha growers. Jatropha plants, once
wild growing and medicinal plants, have become the world's potential sustainable
alternative renewable energy and biofuel source. Jatrophas are the Seeds
of Hope; the plants that can remove harmful CO2 emissions from the atmosphere
are very cost effective. The seeds can practically be grown anywhere as it
can grow on top soil, where food crops cannot. GreenGold Ray Energies is
Fueling the Future," concluded CEO Manolo Tecson.
