Lantis Laser's Operating Affiliate TAG Minerals Zimbabwe (Private) Limited Begins Phase I of the Company's Mineral Rights Expansion Program to Increase its Barite Reserves to Support Long Term Industry Demands

FREEHOLD, N.J., March 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Lantis Laser Inc. (OTCQB symbol:  LLSR), is pleased to announce today that its operating affiliate TAG Minerals Zimbabwe (Private) Limited (TAG-Z) has rapidly expanded its mineral rights to include an additional 50 hectares contiguous and 450 hectares adjacent to its Dodge Mine property.  Based on continued discussions with targeted potential partners coupled with industry confirmation of high demand for barite, TAG-Z recently completed Phase I of what their management intends to be an aggressive mineral rights expansion program. With assistance from the previous mine owner, specific areas were acquired based upon undocumented visible outcroppings. In addition, both local and international geologists agree that the directional flow of the hydrothermal barite deposits aligns with the physical properties recently pegged and registered with the Zimbabwe Ministry of Mines.

Al Pietrangelo, President & CEO of Lantis stated, "With the mineral gravity mapping program to begin shortly, we believe that the timing of this expansion program bodes well for our shareholders given the opportunity to immediately begin developing the barite and other mineral/metal reserves."  The mineral gravity survey is targeted for completion by mid-second quarter utilizing the latest in electronic, automated 1 micro-gal resolution meters wirelessly transmitting digital data to a GPS equipped data logger using proprietary software performing real-time error checking, multiple sampling and averaging of gravity readings that enhances accuracy and eliminates manual entry errors. With the Bouguer gravity anomaly modeling data, the company will immediately institute a customized diamond core drilling program to establish bankable proven reserves across its mineral type deposits with first focus on barite.   

Mr. Pietrangelo added, "We intend to continuously expand our multiple mineral/metal proven reserves program developing targeted mining plans to efficiently extract what we believe are our shareholder's highly valued hydrothermal mineral/metal deposits. Where appropriate, plans are under early stage development to include value added vertical processing steps to further increase the revenue potential of the company's aggregate minerals and metals."  

Industry commodity price experts recently advised the company that there have been barite supply constraints in India with barite buyers catering to the spot market paying spot prices as the market accelerates. With market conditions continuing to favor higher barite prices, the company is embarking on aggressive plans to be in high volume production in less than 12 months and anticipates more exciting shareholder announcements.
