MOORESVILLE, N.C., Dec. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Anpath Group, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ANPG), a manufacturer of safe and eco-friendly disinfectant products, announced today that it has engaged its investment banking firm, Laidlaw & Company, to seek a strategic partner in the oil & gas industry for its new product GeoTru® Concentrated Biocide. The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, EnviroSystems, Inc. (ESI), produces disinfecting products designed to eradicate infectious microorganisms while offering a favorable safety and environmental profile.

GeoTru® is an environmentally correct biocide designed to control microorganisms including bacteria, fungi, and algae in oil and gas well stimulation fluids used for hydraulic fracturing and related oil and gas field water systems. GeoTru® will control bacteria in drilling applications and serves to prevent the degradation of fracing fluids and gels used in well stimulations. The product is easy to handle and ship because of its favorable toxicity profile compared to other biocides used for the same purpose, it is not reactive with typical down-hole chemistries, and is equipment-compatible.

The Company recently retained Laidlaw to provide financial advisory and investment banking services and to provide advice on strategic transactions, including possible technology licensing arrangements. "While our engagement with Laidlaw is broad-based, we think it is important to focus on the substantial opportunity represented by the oil & gas market," stated J. Lloyd Breedlove, President and CEO of Anpath Group, Inc.

Executive Vice President and Head of Investment Banking for Laidlaw, Theodore V. Fowler commented, "The ESI technology is a platform technology with diverse applications. We are pursuing multiple opportunities based on that platform but the GeoTru® project provides an environmental solution to a burgeoning need in the vital energy market and, as such, represents a significant opportunity for Anpath as well as a market advantage for its potential strategic partner. Engaging that partner is our priority."
