| Montreal, Quebec. September 19, 2012 – Orbite Aluminae (TSX: ORT; OTCQX:EORBF) (the “Company”or “Orbite”) today announced that, leveraging its patented processes for high-purity and smelter-grade alumina production, the Company has developed a purification technology to purify silica based on its hydrochloric acid leaching process. This development allows the Company to purify silica to the 99.9% (3N) level and provides a conceptual base to eventually reach purities of 99.999% (5N) to 99.99999% (7N).“We are very proud of this technological development,” stated Denis Primeau, the Company’s Chief Engineer. “Utilizing Orbite’s existing processes, we can now take a product that was already at acceptable levels of purity – 96% – up to levels of 3N and greater, making it a value added product.”Worldwide, metallurgical grade silica consumption was 1.37 billion metric tonnes in 2009 and 2.02 billion metric tonnes in 2010. Metallurgical grade silica of greater than 99.99% purity is used to manufacture photovoltaic cells and other high-technology products. In 2009, metallurgical grade silica was selling for approximately $3 per kilogram and higher quality silica (5N-7N) was selling for approximately $35 per kilogram.Mr.
