HOUSTON--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Russell Industries, Inc. (OTC:RUSL), has received an initial response from Department of Energy regarding its funding proposal for an Algae Farm to be located in the Houston area. The response acknowledges that DOE has considered algae as a potential feedstock for producing transportation fuel for a number of years. However, funding and authorization for algal research grants has not been appropriated in the amount needed for this proposal, according to the Department of Energy. "The Company is continuing to work with DOE representatives and has asked assistance from U.S. Congressional representation to find a way for DOE to participate in our project before the Company goes to the public capital market," said Rick Berman, President and CEO.

Russell Industries, a Nevada Corporation, was incorporated in 1997. The Company is a holding company that will possibly acquire assets in the energy, mining, healthcare and financial industries. The Company owns a majority ownership interest in 255 unpatented uranium and Vanadium Mining Claims in San Juan County, Utah as of December 22, 2008.
