                      SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF PLACING FOR

                       MICROFUZE INTERNATIONAL PLC (MFZ)

MicroFuze International plc ("MicroFuze" or "the Company") announces the
successful Placing of 25,121,110 Ordinary Shares at 10p per share. The Company
has raised #2,512,111 conditionally on Admission to enable it to fast track the
commercialization of the technology and continue with further product and
technology development. At the placing price the company is capitalized at #14.9
million.

MicroFuze owns, through its 85 per cent. owned subsidiary Tesla USA, Inc. (TUI),
a licence to exploit a patented process referred to as Microwave Diffusion
Treatment ("MDT"). The Licensor, as agent for the US Department of Energy, holds
a 10% interest in TUI.

MicroFuze's business model is to be a commercially focused microwave technology
company specializing in the surface treatment of metals and other minerals.
Specifically, MicroFuze intends to provide a range of surface engineering
solutions to the power generation, automotive, aeronautical and general
manufacturing industries.  The Directors of MicroFuze believe that parts,
components and accessories used in these industries and which require hardening,
lubricity, wear resistance and corrosion protection are among the items most
likely to derive significant benefits from the application of the MDT.

In addition, MicroFuze is seeking to launch new applications of emerging and
complementary technologies for rapid commercialisation. The technology is based
on microwave-driven diffusion of donor metals into target components. The
MicroFuze technology base comprises two MDTs for processing alloys: microwave
pack cementation, which is ready for commercialisation; and cool plasma
processing, which is in the early stages of development.

The obvious short term market opportunities are those existing markets where the
benefits of MDT offer an advantage in processing speed, including all the
existing markets for pack cementation (batch processing), nitriding (hardening),
carburizing, etc. One of the most critical issues facing heat-treating in the
future may be the energy cost. The Directors believe that MDT is an answer to
the high-energy cost of heat treating. The segments in which MDT would compete
include Surface Heat Treating, Hard Facing, and a component of the
Electroplating industry (wear and corrosion coatings).  In total these three
markets have a value estimated to be approx. US$44 billion worldwide, of which
Heat Treating - the primary market for MDT - is worth approx. US$6 billion and
growing.

Mr Doug Parrish, Chief Executive Officer of MicroFuze, commented: "The success
of this Placing means we can now move forward rapidly with the financing of  the
commercialisation of this exciting new technology which has already attracted
the attention of some of the world's leading multinational companies in key
industries including:  automotive, chemical, defence, health, power generation,
textiles and aviation. The Placing will allow MicroFuze to commission new
microwaves and build revenue over the next 12 months."
