VSUS Technologies Inc. Receives Confirmation from a Highly Qualified Engineering Firm of their Ability to Obtain Mining Permits for their Metallurgical Coal Mine in Colombia.

BOGOTA, Colombia, Feb. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- VSUS Technologies Inc. (OTCQB: VSUT) announces they received an opinion letter from their engineering firm, Incoplan S. A. confirming their ability to get a mining permit for their wholly owned metallurgical coal mine in Guaduas, Colombia.  The company acquired La Tabaquera coal mine last year and contracted Incoplan S.A. to complete an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and a geological engineering model.  These studies are requirements to obtain a mining permit in Colombia.

According to a recent engineering report, there are close to 17,000,000 metric ton of coal reserves in the company's first acquisition, La Tabaquera. The company recently signed a letter of intent with an existing majority shareholder to acquire the neighboring La Herradura coal mine with an expected 70- 100 MM metric ton of coal reserves given that the new acquisition is almost 7 times larger than the adjacent La Tabaquera whose coal veins extend into La Herradura.  Coal reserves at La Tabaquera are estimated to be 70% metallurgical and 30% thermal coal. The company plans to begin deep geological drill tests to produce a N.I. 43-101 technical report for both properties and expects La Tabaquera to obtain its mining permits in 2012.

Once the mining permits are approved, the company plans production of 30,000 mt per month, scaling up to over 100,000 mt. per month.

Incoplan S.A. has studied the formation, ecological location, and sociological component of the La Tabaquera and La Herradura coal mines. The mines do not have grounds for the denial of a license, such as being on indigenous or Afro-Colombian territory, or an archaeological natural park or forest that affects a protected basin.

Fabio Villamil, president of Incoplan S.A. stated, "We believe with 100% certainty on our part that once the geological engineering model and environmental impact studies are submitted before the environmental and mining authorities, the licenses required to start the operation and exploitation of the mine will be issued."

Transportation, Logistics and Other Information

VSUS Technologies plans to build or acquire wholly owned river loading facilities on the Magdalena River close to our mines. The coal will be trucked to these river ports, and then barged via the Magdalena River to terminals in Barranquilla, Santa Marta, or Cartagena for export. Initially we will use existing service providers while our transportation projects are being developed. The Colombian and Chinese Governments are jointly improving railroads that will facilitate local coal producers' ability to export. After the rail projects and the "Road to the Sun" project are completed, VSUS Technologies will have one of the only coal mines in the World with river, rail, and road access to coal export terminals on both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
