Proof of Concept a major price trigger                                          

Praetorian Research initiates coverage of aresa with a short-term Neutral       
rating and long-term Buy rating. Proof of concept for                           
RedDetect, a plant for detection of landmines, should be                        
demonstrated within few months. This should pave the way                        
for capital investments and thereby access for aresa to the                     
enormous markets for landmine detection, soil pollution and                     
seed.
