NEW YORK, Dec. 4, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tauriga Sciences Inc. (OTCQB:TAUG) or ("Tauriga" or "the Company"), a diversified company focused on generating profitable revenues through license agreements and the development of a proprietary technology platform in the nanorobotics space, has today highlighted some recent positive media coverage regarding its pending acquisition of Pilus Energy LLC ("Pilus Energy"). The list of articles compiled below, which includes the corresponding links, is for the browsing convenience of shareholders and interested parties.
Most Notably the November 26th article (Article #1), "Cincinnati-based Pilus Energy Gets New Owner, Launches Crowdfunding Campaign," by Lucy May, includes a quote by Mr. Biju George ("Mr. George"), the Deputy Director of the Metropolitan Sewer District of Greater Cincinnati ("MSD"). One of Pilus Energy's two planned pilot tests is with MSD, which if successful, could result in significant high margin revenues for the Company over the coming years. This commercial pilot test with MSD is expected to commence shortly after Tauriga completes the acquisition of Pilus Energy, which is anticipated to occur during the first calendar quarter of 2014. Please see below the comment (quotation) by Mr. George:
"When I first talked to Pilus and the founders and the researchers, it was like a science fiction movie, and they made me a believer in it," George said. "If it can move to a level where they can commercialize this and truly apply it to a large scale, it's going to completely change the science behind how we treat wastewater in the future," he said.
