BioNitrogen Corp. (BION) Announces Positive Phase I Engineering Results from Granherne, Inc.

BioNitrogen Corp. (PINKSHEETS:BION) ("BioNitrogen" or "the Company") is pleased to announce positive results from the Granherne, Inc. Phase I engineering program.

As previously reported on March 2, 2012, Granherne (a wholly-owned subsidiary of KBR Inc., "KBR") began the Phase I engineering study to incorporate BioNitrogen's patent-pending technology and establish the plan for the construction and commissioning of the Company's inaugural urea fertilizer plant in Lubbock, Texas.

The Phase I engineering project, currently entering Week 7 of the 11 week project timeline, will finalize supplier guidelines in addition to the bonding, finance and insurance protocols necessary to complete the construction and commissioning model for BioNitrogen's urea plants worldwide.

BioNitrogen management met with KBR in Houston April 10th and 11th, 2012. The workshops included the report of KBR's positive Phase I findings to date, followed by BioNitrogen apprising KBR of the current status of new domestic and international plant sites and their potential biomass feedstock(s), including the recently announced second planned facility in Levelland, Texas.

Effective of the meetings, both companies will continue to closely synchronize efforts to accelerate Phase II engineering and ultimately the Phase III engineering construction stage of the first plant. Phase III engineering, the physical plant construction phase, is expected to commence for the Lubbock Texas Plant in Q3 2012.

"Granherne has some of the most notable engineers specialising in the areas of gasification technology, power integration, urea production and construction development. We are very pleased with their progress and the results to date." Mr. Carlos A. Contreras, President, International Operations of BioNitrogen who attended the meetings stated, "As we begin to enter Phase II in Lubbock, we are just getting started worldwide. KBR is an excellent partner for our turnkey builder internationally. We are expecting to have our initial Phase III Engineering meetings with the construction personnel of KBR scheduled 4 - 6 weeks from now. All checks and balances continue to be in place and we are moving the Company forward responsibly to achieve production within the earliest possible timeframe."

KBR will continue to provide BioNitrogen with update reports regarding the progress of the Lubbock plant and BioNitrogen intends to report back to shareholders in a timely manner all relevant information.
