LAKESIDE, Mont., July 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Earth Search Sciences, Inc., (OTC Bulletin Board: ESSE) a technology company focused on the development of domestic, inland oil resources, has announced it is relocating its corporate headquarters to Boston, Massachusetts. The move comes amidst a recent surge of company activity, including its appointment of Luis Lugo as CEO, acquisition of General Synfuels Inc. (GSI), and engagement of Industrial Systems, Inc. (ISI) to design, fabricate and install the components of its patented oil shale gasification technology for a full-scale test.

Boston's immediate access to venture capital investors and key financial markets served among several motives for the move East.

"Boston's world-class research and learning institutions, as well as its proximity to other corporate entities in the technology sector, make it the ideal hub for our corporate operations," said Lugo of the move. "In addition, our need to quickly build a team, including professionals in the areas of finance, science, logistics and product development makes Boston ideal for Earth Search," he added.

While Earth Search will domicile its corporation in Boston, it will maintain a local field office in Delta, Colorado where ISI is currently producing crucial test components for Earth Search's full-scale test of its patented gasification process. Dr. Ronald McQueen, inventor of the gasification process, will oversee field operations.

"ISI is well underway in the process to test our new technology," said Larry Vance, Chairman of Earth Search. "Delta's proximity to vast oil shale reserves also makes it a perfect fit for our plans to conduct our first full-scale test in the very near future."

About Earth Search Sciences - http://www.earthsearch.com

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. The application of Earth Search's patented and IP-protected hyperspectral technology cuts across the commercial, medical and military spectra.
