MANTECA, CA--(Marketwire - 08/06/09) - Nano Mask, Inc. (Pinksheets:NANM - News), and Intrinsiq Materials, a private
materials technology development company focused on health and wellness-related markets, today announced a
collaboration to develop an anti-viral, disposable version of the NanoMask, a protective filtration face mask.

The companies hope testing can be completed within 45 days. Following successful testing, the companies will begin
accepting inquiries from customers as early as October 2009 for non-U.S. markets.

Nano Mask expects to manufacture its mask in the United States and is currently working with a large mask
manufacturer to implement this plan. The company will also seek regulatory approval to make the product available in the
United States as soon as possible.

Intrinsiq Materials is incorporating its antimicrobial particle technology into the NanoMask and will conduct studies to
determine effectiveness against pathogens such as H1NI (swine influenza), H5N1 (avian influenza) and two bacteria.

"We are delighted to be working with Nano Mask to develop this important product," stated Joe Raguso, CEO and
President of Intrinsiq Materials, Ltd. "Our technology has demonstrated industry-leading efficacy against a broad range of
viral and bacterial pathogens, and developing more effective face masks will be an important tool to help control the
current H1N1 pandemic."

"We are pleased with the progress that Intrinsiq has achieved in the testing and development of our new disposable,
anti-microbial NanoMask," said Doug Heath, President and CEO, Nano Mask. "We hope that Intrinisiq's comprehensive
design and testing approach will result in a product that will have superior performance characteristics that will enable
us to penetrate what we believe is a large potential market."
