TIREX REMAINS OPTIMISTIC FOR ITS TECHNOLOGIES FUTURE

Norwalk, CT, June 20, 2012 – The Tirex Corporation (TXMC: OTCBB) - owner of a patented tire recycling technology, called the TCS System – announced today that its Joint Venture Agreement with Wyoming Corporate Headquarters LLC (WCH) of West Columbia, SC, to recycle scrap tires in Tennessee, announced in January 2012, remains in good standing.

”While the financing needed to support the conditions of tire collection and the installation of a TCS Sytem in Tennessee are still pending, we remain optimistic and will continue to pursue it with our partner WCH,” said Tirex President, John L. Threshie Jr.

“Tirex management also wanted to reassure its shareholders that its priority is to once again become current in its filings with the SEC. Furthermore, the investors currently negotiating with Tirex for North American and off shore TCS Facilities recognize this necessity and are including it in the funding,” added Mr. Threshie. 


ABOUT TIREX
Tirex’s TCS (Tirex Cryo System) process freezes scrap tire pieces with cold air – as opposed to expensive liquid nitrogen – and then “fractures” the rubber into granules in a patented “fracturing mill,” instead of cutting and shredding it. This process also separates the marketable strands of steel and fiber from the frozen ground rubber. Not involving any chemicals, combustion or expensive liquid nitrogen, the TCS technology represents an environmentally friendly, economically attractive “green” tire recycling system.
