New Western Mineral Extraction Inc., a Subsidiary of New Western Energy Corporation, Along With Fodere Titanium Limited (U.K.), Has Engaged Modern Mining Solutions and Commenced Development of Pilot Plant for Its Zero Waste Recovery Technology of High-Grade TiO2, Vanadium (V) and Other High Value Elements

IRVINE, Calif., March 30, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- New Western Energy Corp. (OTCQB:NWTR), an independent energy company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development, and production of oil, gas and other minerals in North America, today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, New Western Mineral Extraction, Inc. ("NWME"), a Nevada corporation, and Fodere Titanium Limited ("FODERE"), a U.K based company have engaged Modern Mining Solutions (formerly known as Recovered Energy) and have commenced the construction of a large-scale pilot plant in the United States for the zero waste recovery of high-grade titanium dioxide (TiO2) and high purity vanadium (V).

The pilot plant, currently under construction at Modern Mining Solutions' state-of-the art facility in Reno, Nevada, will have an initial operational capacity of 1.0 metric ton per day and will be expandable up to 30.0 metric tons per day. This project is a milestone breakthrough in the zero waste recovery technology developed by a renowned English Engineering University and the FODERE.

The new 40,000 square foot facility is designed to be the most technologically advanced mining solutions center in the United States. This hub of technologies will have over $30 million dollars of equipment, including a plasma recovery system for precious metals, a rare earth recovery system, and other systems focused on advanced recovery methods, including hydro-metallurgy, pyro-metallurgy, particle size reduction, concentration circuits and a $2 million assay lab.

As announced recently, NWME has signed the Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") with FODERE whereby it has an exclusive license to a patent for the extraction of minerals from tailings in the United States and a 10% interest in the revenues from the exploitation of the patent worldwide by FODERE, other than the United States.

"We are extremely delighted with the capabilities and know-how of Modern Mining Solutions and with the immediate progress that has been made in building the pilot plant. This is a critical step in commercializing this unique technology as information gathered on the processes and systems from this plant shall be used in design of a much larger commercial scale plant," said Javan Khazali, President and CEO of New Western Energy Corporation.

Mr. Khazali further elaborated, "This zero waste recovery technology is an industry changing breakthrough for mining industry worldwide as it economically allows cleanup of mining sites, tailing piles, and other toxic wastes and will have a positive impact for mining companies, local communities, and governments on both commercial and environmental fronts."
