, Sustainable's President, stated that the contract is the direct result of the Company's successful product development and testing efforts which were geared to introduction of Sustainable Forest Industries' environment friendly tropical hardwoods to the railway industry.

The purchase order for the tropical hardwood ties represents the initial deliveries under the Company's long term HeartDex Engineered Railway Timber Marketing Program.

Mr. Ryan added that the tropical hardwood railway ties sold under the Company's HeartDex Engineered Wood Products trade mark exhibited superior performance qualities on standard railway industry tests while offering the added advantage of being wood preservative wood preservative

 treatment (i.e. creosote creosote (krē`əsōt), volatile, heavy, oily liquid obtained by the distillation of coal tar or wood tar. Creosote derived from beechwood tar has been used medicinally as an antiseptic and in the treatment of chronic bronchitis. ) free due to their natural resistance to termite termite or white ant, common name for a soft-bodied social insect of the order Isoptera. Termites are easily distinguished from ants by comparison of the base of the abdomen, which is broadly joined to the thorax in termites; in ants, there is  attack and decay.

Therefore a railway tie manufactured from HeartDex Tropical Hardwood is both safe for the environment and cost effective for the industry.

Historically, the domestic railway industry in the United States has had a fairly consistent demand for quality railway cross, bridge and switch ties. This demand exceeds 12,000,000 ties (+/- 564,000,000 board feet) per year according to The Railway Tie Association.

According to Mr. Ryan, this large consistent demand level when coupled with a the tighter availability of quality domestic timber suitable for use by the railroads and the heightened environmental concerns worldwide with the use of creosote treated railway ties creates a significant market opportunity for Sustainable Forest Industries and its HeartDex Engineered Tropical Hardwood Ties.

In addition to its railway timber products, Sustainable's HeartDex environmental friendly product line includes tropical hardwoods for residential and commercial construction applications as well as industrial applications in the marine, utility, mining and transportation industries.

Daleco Resources Corporation is an international natural resource company with holdings in oil and gas, timber and minerals.
