About Earth Search Sciences -- http://www.earthsearch.com

Earth Search Sciences, Inc.'s (OTC Bulletin Board: ESSE) revolutionary hyperspectral and ultraspectral technology provides the ability to accurately read the chemical properties of surface substances from great altitudes and produce easily interpreted maps allowing the user to identify specific minerals and substances on the surface of the earth by their diagnostic reflectance patterns. Ultimately, this remote sensing capability identifies a greater number of exploration targets quickly and economically, monitors the environmental situation, and improves the probability of finding anomalies. Older, more conventional methods would take decades to cover the same area, and at a much greater cost. Within the realm of exploration, remote sensing does not replace the need for geological knowledge, geochemistry, geophysics, seismic, drilling, etc, which are some of the more conventional tools used for exploration. The application of Earth Search's patented and IP-protected hyperspectral technology cuts across the commercial, medical and military spectra.
