Radient Technologies Inc. (TSX-V: RTI) (“Radient”) announced today that it has been awarded a contract by a Fortune 500 consumer staples company (the “Customer”) valued at approximately half a million Canadian dollars.

Under the terms of the agreement, Radient, using its proprietary Microwave Assisted Processing (“MAP™”) technology and from its facilities in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, will develop and produce initial quantities of an improved, high-value, natural feedstock to be used in the Customer's portfolio of differentiated products. Having met the Customer’s specific requirements for purity, speed, and cost, Radient was selected from a global list of potential suppliers.
