TORONTO, Dec. 23, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Ekwan-X, Inc. (Pink Sheets:EKWX) is very pleased to announce that it will bring the most advanced airborne hyperspectral technology to the mineral exploration industry. This technology will provide Ekwan-X with a high probability of finding a mine.
"Ekwan-X has fully tested its hyperspectral technology which will start a revolution in the field of mineral exploration. We are excited that this technology will exploit the dynamic capabilities of hyperspectral technology," said Ed Godin, CEO and President of Ekwan-X, Inc. "We will concentrate on fully exploiting highly mineralized areas in Nevada, New Mexico, and Arizona. These areas are the most prolific gold mining regions in the world.
