RACINE, WI--(Marketwire - January 29, 2008) - Pacific Sands, Inc. (OTCBB : PFSD ), manufacturer
of the 'low-chem' ecoone lines of water treatment and cleaning solutions,

"Our acquisition of these popular, well-established product lines is a
dramatic step toward our continuing goal of being a leading competitor in
the environment and health-friendly products marketplace," said Pacific
Sands president and CEO, Michael Wynhoff. "I'm particularly excited that we
are now able to offer a complete line of safer household and maintenance
solutions through established sales channels to the sharply expanding
environment and health-friendly marketplace."

$890,000.00 or approximately 1.5 times trailing annual sales* to be paid in
a combination of cash and shares of the Company's common stock over a
period of three to four years.
