Chanaral Resources, Inc. (CRLR) Changes Name to Alkane, Inc., New Trading Symbol ALKN.

LUTHERVILLE, Md. -- Alkane, Inc. (PINK SHEETS: ALKN), formerly known as Chanaral Resources, Inc., today announced it has changed its name and began trading under the symbol ALKN, effective April 3, 2009. The changes better reflect the company's product development, sales and marketing of alternative fuels and additives that reduce the cost of operating and maintaining vehicles, while reducing emissions and the U.S. dependence on foreign oil.

"Our new name is based in the very chemistry of fuel," says Mr. Lou Petrucci, Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "Alkanes are a class of hydrocarbons that are characterized as being saturated, stable base materials to build high performance products. In this spirit, Alkane Inc. will develop, produce and sell products that unlock the power and potential of combustion engines, while also making them greener and reducing fuel consumption."

Alkane's first product, Monster Diesel[TM], is a patent pending total fuel additive that boosts diesel fuel to premium levels and satisfies all of a diesel engine's needs in one product.

In the United States, diesel powered trucks, buses and boats, some 10+ million vehicles, consume 24 billion gallons of fuel at a cost of $50 billion annually. There are diesel additives to address one or more of the issues common to diesel powered engines: fuel mileage, engine power, gelling, deicing, and engine wear. However, none are as powerful and complete as Monster Diesel[TM].
