Tecogen Receives Tecochill Order for Mid-Atlantic Hospital

WALTHAM, MA / ACCESSWIRE / February 19, 2020 / Tecogen Inc. (NASDAQ:TGEN), a clean energy company providing ultra-efficient, clean, natural gas-powered on-site power, heating and cooling equipment, is pleased to announce an order for three (3) 400-ton Tecochill® chillers to a Veterans Administration (VA) hospital in the mid-Atlantic United States. The Tecochill selection was part of several energy efficiency measures provided to the hospital by a large Energy Services Company (ESCO) and will significantly reduce both the cost of energy as well as the carbon footprint of the hospital. The units will include Tecogen's proprietary Ultera emissions system, which significantly reduces criteria pollutants such as CO and NOx. The system is expected to be installed and operational in late 2020.

"Hospitals continue to be an excellent application for our Tecochill system," said Stephen Lafaille, Director of Business Development at Tecogen. "Hospitals typically have a simultaneous need for heating and cooling in order to maintain proper climate control. The Tecochill is a perfect solution because the cost of operation is significantly less than electric chillers and the utilization of waste heat reduces the operation of the existing heating system, resulting in further savings for the hospital."

The order will add to a growing fleet of Tecogen equipment in the mid-Atlantic region, which is currently served out of Tecogen's New Jersey service center.

"I am encouraged to see more sales activity in the mid-Atlantic region," stated Benjamin Locke, Tecogen Chief Executive Officer. "In addition to cost savings using affordable natural gas to cool the facility, the overall greenhouse gas savings of Tecochill are substantial given the fuel mix of the electric grid in the region."

About Tecogen

Tecogen Inc. designs, manufactures, sells, installs and maintains high efficiency, ultra-clean, cogeneration products including natural gas engine-driven combined heat and power, air conditioning systems and high-efficiency water heaters for residential, commercial, recreational and industrial use. The company is known for cost efficient, environmentally friendly and reliable products for energy production that, through patented technology, nearly eliminate criteria pollutants and significantly reduce a customer's carbon footprint.

In business for over 35 years, Tecogen has shipped more than 3,000 units, supported by an established network of engineering, sales and service personnel across the United States. For more information, please visit www.tecogen.com or contact us for a free Site Assessment.

Int. Montoro Resources & Falcon Gold Corp. Mobilize to the Camping Lake Property, Red Lake-Ontario

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / February 19, 2020 / International Montoro Resources Inc. (TSXV:IMT)(Frankfurt:O4T1), (the "Company") and Falcon Gold Corp. (FG) have secured an exploration crew to begin mobilizing on the Camping Lake property.

The Camping Lake property is located along the Pakwash/Longlegged Fault deformation zone and is approximately 20 kilometers south of Great Bear's Dixie Project and 8 kilometers south of BTU Metals Corp's TNT base metals Target.

The first phase of the Camping Lake 2020 exploration program consists of approximately 20-line kilometers ("km") of ground VLF/EM geophysics and soil geochemistry surveys. The program's objective is to delineate mineralized structures related to past gold and base metal discoveries in the region and outline targets for follow-up trenching and drilling.

The 2,200 hectare Camping Lake property is contained within the Birch-Uchi-Confederation Lake greenstone belt, which hosts the world-renowned Red Lake gold deposits and includes the Dixie project, currently being drilled by Great Bear Resources Ltd. ("GBR"). GBR has recently reported exciting drill results with mineralized intersections commonly returning bonanza gold grades in association with coarse visible gold grains. Most recently GBR reported drill hole BR-068 intersecting 10.58 grams per tonne gold over 21.00 metres, including 48.98 g/t gold over 3.25 metres (see February 13, 2020 news release for further highlights of current results). BTU Metals Corp ("BTU") has also recently announced additional drilling on their TNT-target following up on prior work which boasts significant intercepts of mineralization including an assay highlight of 44.3 m of 1.14% CuEq with intervals containing as much as 5.56% Cu, 99.6 g/t Ag, and 2 g/t Au.

From 2010 to 2013, the Camping Lake property area was subjected to work programs completed by Laurentian Goldfields Ltd. which included: petrographic studies; diamond drilling, rock, soil and sediment samples; along with airborne and ground geophysics.

Various anomalies were identified in the aforementioned programs including gold and zinc anomalies which are present along a significant >1 km highly magnetic trend through the northern portion of the property. This trend represents the initial target area for Montoro's 2020 work program.

Torchlight Provides Update on Its A25 #2 Vertical Test Well

PLANO, TX / ACCESSWIRE / February 19, 2020 / Torchlight Energy Resources, Inc. (NASDAQ:TRCH) ("Torchlight" or the "Company"), today provided an update on its recent drilling and logging activity on the A25 #2 well in the Company's Orogrande Basin Project.

The well reached total depth at 7623 feet and encountered several conventional pay zones as well as drilling through the unconventional Wolfcamp, Penn, Barnett and Woodford zones. Torchlight previously had confirmation on the Wolfcamp and Penn formations but this is the first time the Company and its operator Maverick Operating have drilled through and confirmed the presence of the Barnett and Woodford formations directly on its lease. The Barnett and Woodford zones have been produced locally, just off Torchlight's lease line from vertical wells drilled by Trail Mountain years ago. The Trail Mountain wells tested at 43 barrels of oil per day and another at 1,000 mcfpd, confirming productivity from these zones. The Company believes the logs confirm that there are multiple targets to test on the A25 #2 well. Potential conventional zones were encountered in various Atoka and Morrow zones.

Mike Zebrowski, G and G Science lead on the project, stated, "The A25 #2 is an important deep exploration well, which confirms the unconventional Barnett and Woodford near the center of Torchlight's 134,000 acres. The test encountered these zones at around 7,000 foot depth and significantly deeper than wells which produced oil and gas on tests to the East. These zones being deeper should provide added reservoir pressure and add a bit more thermal maturity resulting in good quality oil and gas. It is exciting to confirm that deeper and widespread zones with this well now provide four major zones of unconventional targets."
