Business Wire, July 10, 2007

JUPITER, Fla. -- BioQuest Technologies, Inc., (Pink Sheets:BQTG), a leading developer of innovative, environmentally safe antimicrobial products, today announced it recently provided an anti-microbial prevention sweep of the United States Marine Corps Wrestling Team gym facilities at Camp Lejeune, in North Carolina. BioQuest employees provided the service, using the EPA and USDA approved product, BioShield 75, which provides a microbiostatic coating designed to inhibit growth of bacteria, mold, and fungi from most surfaces.

According to www.GlobalSecurity.org, Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune is home to more than 47,000 Marines and Sailors from around the world. These servicemen and women serve with hundreds of company-size units that compose several major commands aboard base. The base is home to an active duty, dependent, retiree and civilian employee population of nearly 150,000 people. The base generates $2 billion in commerce each year, coming from payrolls and contracts let to support the structure required to train and equip Marines.

"We believe that our facilities protection at Camp Lejeune will open a door for additional such opportunities since our products provide a safer and healthier environment for military and government employees," said Arne Rotne, President of BioQuest Technologies, Inc. "Bioquest is best equipped to help protect our military from damaging microbial conditions mainly due to our patented, revolutionary new product - BioShield 75."

Rotne said BioQuest also offers its services to military and government installations at significant discounts in accordance with its corporate policy supporting American troops and the locations they inhabit and work.

The Marine Corps Exchange complex at Camp Lejeune is the largest in the Marine Corps. Today Camp Lejeune boasts 14 miles of beach capable of supporting amphibious operations. There are 54 live-fire ranges, 89 maneuver areas, 33 gun positions, 25 tactical landing zones and a state of the art Military Operations in Urban Terrain training facility.

Camp Lejeune is a three-time recipient of the Commander-in-Chief's Award for Installation Excellence. This award recognizes the base on a Department of Defense-level for effectively managing assets and developing quality programs to accomplish the mission of providing expeditionary forces in readiness. The most recent addition to Camp Lejeune, the Greater Sandy Run Training Area, has added a new level of credence to Camp Lejeune's claim to being the "Home of Marine Expeditionary Forces in Readiness," providing for the training of Marine Air/Ground Task Forces.
