VSUS Technologies Inc. recently reached a major milestone by registering their Works Programme with the National Mining Agency in Colombia and anticipates approval of their mining permit within the next several weeks.  This news was then followed up with this week's corporate developments revealing VSUT has engaged an investment banking firm to assist in raising the capital needed to get their La Tabaquera Metallurgical Coal Mine into production. The terms of any financing will be disclosed at the appropriate time.  Furthermore, the Company anticipates closing on the acquisition of an operating subsidiary in Colombia by the end of January in efforts to continue to make progress in this South American hotbed for coal mining.

The company also announced this week that it has changed its name to New Colombia Resources, Inc. with the state of Delaware. The Company has filed for a new cusip number and anticipates filing with FINRA for a new symbol in the next few days. "We felt a name change was necessary to reflect the direction of the company emphasizing that Colombia is a New Colombia with vast untapped human and natural resources," stated John Campo, President of New Colombia Resources, Inc.

VSUT closed up 7.26% on Tuesday (12/18/12) at just slightly under $0.04 price per share.  Globally, many analysts predict coal will actually overtake oil to become the world's single-largest power source over the next five years, thanks to strong growth in demand from world markets including China and India.  The critical point for individual investors is to find the stable and secure players in the coal sector - companies like VSUS Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: VSUT) could have a bright, long-lasting position in the global coal trade.  For more information on VSUT visit their website at http://www.vsustechnologies.com
