ZAP (OTCBB: ZAAP | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) www.Rocket-Stocks.com 8/1/08 Montana officials announced that a city-speed electric truck from California manufacturer ZAP (OTCBB: ZAAP | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) has been purchased by the Montana State Hospital at Warm Springs.
"Interest is coming from everywhere for the Xebra, even places you wouldn't expect like the Big Sky state where people are just as concerned about high gas prices," said ZAP CEO Steve Schneider. Schneider noted that the front page of yesterday's Wall Street Journal had a feature on Texans parking their big gas trucks and driving the Xebra.
The hospital hopes the ZAP Xebra will cut its fuel bill for mail deliveries and other on-campus errands. However, hospital officials purchased the truck as part of Governor Brian Schweitzer's 20X10 Initiative, which asks state agencies to reduce their fuel consumption by 20 percent by the year 2010.
"Even after counting emissions from electric generating plants, Xebras produce 98 percent fewer pollutants than gas cars," a hospital news release said. "The approximate cost to operate the vehicle is 1 to 3 cents per mile."
Governor Schweitzer checked out the ZAP electric truck for the first time during the July 4th parade in Butte.
"He thought it was great," said Michael Curnow, Owner of Prestige Auto. "He had seen other electric cars before but it was the first time he had seen a Xebra and thought it was neat. I'm grateful for the Governor's initiative and that the State of Montana is stepping up to use more electric vehicles."
The ZAP Xebra truck, which seats two people, can travel up to 40 miles an hour and has a range up to 40 miles depending on battery usage and varying driving conditions. The rechargeable batteries can be plugged into a standard 110-volt AC outlet like a cell phone.
"We have a lot of packages and we're moving charts and stuff back and forth," hospital spokeswoman Tracy Thun told the Montana Standard. "Some of our deliveries from our warehouse we'll be able to put in there."
The truck will be delivered Monday by Prestige Auto & Toppers in Butte, which is the only authorized dealer of ZAP electric vehicles in the Montana. Prestige Auto and Toppers is located at 1701 Harrison in Butte, MT 59701. Reach them by phone at 406-782-9102.

Quest Minerals & Mining Corp. (OTCBB:QMNM) www.Rocket-Stocks.com 8/1/08 Quest Minerals & Mining Corp. a Kentucky based operator of energy and mineral related properties, announced that it has reached the point in their operations where they can now move forward into full production mode.
Everett Hampton, President of Whitestar Mining, LLC., commented, "We have turned the corner and have run the last three shifts with great success. Until yesterday, we had limited places to cut coal as we were only mining three (3) headings wide. Now that the engineers have finally calculated the proper directional coordinates, we are able to spread our working section out across the full seven (7) headings. Yesterday, we brought our operational status into full production and cut coal for a full eight hours. Having access to the full seven (7) headings allows us to meet our necessary tonnage requirements. The coal yard was so full yesterday, that we almost ran out of room to store it. Running coal is easy, compared to the rehab work we just completed. We are proud of where we are now and the amount of volume we can produce. Our production goals have since been raised up to 1,000 to 1,300 raw tons per shift. Any coal miner would tell you that this is a very good mine now."
Eugene J. Chiaramonte, Jr., President of Quest Minerals and Mining Corp., stated, "It appears that Whitestar is more capable than ever. They have managed to break all previous single day production records in just their first day of full production! We are very excited for what the future has in store for this company."

Amarillo Biosciences, Inc. (OTCBB: AMAR | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) www.Rocket-Stocks.com 8/1/08 Amarillo Biosciences, Inc. announced that it has agreed to provide interferon lozenges and other support for Western Australia's government (Department of Health) sponsored human influenza clinical trial led by Dr. Manfred Beilharz, Microbiology and Immunology, School of Biomedical, Bimolecular and Chemical Sciences, Faculty of Life and Physical Sciences, The University of Western Australia.
Dr. Beilharz has received and accepted a grant from the Department of Health, Government of Western Australia to undertake a project entitled "Evaluation of Natural Human Interferon Alpha Lozenges in the Prevention/Amelioration of Winter Colds and Flu in Perth, Western Australia." The study is to be completed by September 24, 2009.
"We have been collaborating with Dr. Beilharz for more than 10 years," said Dr. Cummins, CEO of Amarillo Biosciences, Inc. "During that time, Dr. Beilharz has published 10 scientific papers or abstracts on the low-dose, oral use of interferon. We are pleased to extend our research collaboration with Dr. Beilharz. His exciting discoveries regarding how oral interferon can protect against influenza are critically important as the world prepares for the next influenza pandemic."
"We published in 2007 that interferon in the mouth protects mice against fatal influenza," said Dr. Beilharz. "Our goal in our new human research is to determine if oral interferon will not only address the influenza issue, but will also address a new approach to winter colds and flu-like conditions," said Dr. Beilharz.
Perth is a city in Western Australia with 2 million residents. The clinical study will be conducted there in childcare workers, schoolteachers and hospital workers who will be naturally exposed to infections of influenza and other respiratory pathogens. Some subjects will take placebo daily during the next "flu season" and others will take oral interferon at the dosages covered by the company's issued US patents. Besides patented dose formulation, two of the company's issued US patents have claims which directly apply to the low-dose oral use of interferon for influenza.
