Raven Biofuels Announces Initial Research Report and Price Target

PARAMUS, NJ -- 09/22/08 -- Raven Biofuels International Corporation (OTCBB: RVBF) ("Raven" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the research firm of Murphy Analytics LLC has initiated its equity rating on Raven. The report is available online at: http://www.murphyanalytics.com/uploads/RVBF_Initiation.pdf.

This newly arrived at price target has been developed as a result of Company efforts towards the completion of several agreements that will launch Raven's biofuels strategy providing technology and partners to build clean, renewable biorefineries globally.

Raven is initially pursuing its strategy in Washington State and British Columbia (BC) and is focused on low-cost, non-food biomass as the feedstock for its biorefineries. The proposed BC refinery plans to utilize wood waste and Mountain Pine Beetle softwood as a possible source of feedstock. In a March 2008 press release, the BC Government stated that "The Ministry of Forests and Range and the Council of Forest Industries estimate that the mountain pine beetle has now affected about 710 million cubic metres of timber." Further, "There are about 1.35 billion cubic metres of merchantable pine on B.C.'s timber-harvesting land base. If the infestation continues to behave as it has over the past nine years, it's projected that 76 percent of this pine volume will be killed by 2015." It is estimated that the area covered by the pine beetle infestation in BC alone is nearly the size of Texas. Another large area of the pine killed forests extends down the West Coast in to Washington and Oregon.

The proposed Washington State plant will also utilize wood waste and wood chips as feedstock. This focus on technologies fuelled by low-cost biomass puts Raven in a position to benefit not only from governmental incentives, but also from the real economics of the global energy market.

The report identifies key factors such as secured equity funding commitments for working capital and for the project financing of the first biorefinery; an 11 million gallon per-year facility to be located in Washington State. The report further notes that Raven is making excellent progress towards its stated objective of reaching production capacity of 100 million gallons annually within the next five years and includes potential economic models as part of its overall analysis of the company.

The Analyst for the report is Mr. Patrick J. Murphy, CFA who has certified that his views expressed in this report accurately reflect his personal views about the Company, and that no part of any compensation was or will be related to the views expressed in his report. Mr. Murphy is a CFA Charterholder and a member of the CFA Society of St. Louis with 15 years of investment and transaction analysis across a wide range of asset classes including microcap equities, commercial real estate debt and equity, municipal derivatives and public finance, venture capital, fixed income, commercial MBS and mortgage REITs. He was engaged by an independent third party to undertake the development of the report.

Johns Sams, Raven's President and Chief Operating Officer, stated, "We are very pleased to have the benefit of such a thorough and insightful review of our prospects and efforts to-date. We believe that the analyst report prepared by Mr. Murphy will provide compelling information to all those individuals interested in Raven's development potential."
