GLOBAL RESOURCE CORPORATION PROVIDES ADDITIONAL DETAILS REGARDING JOINT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH SCHLUMBERGER

Three Phased Agreement Provides Initial Funding of $0.6 Million to Global Resource from Schlumberger with Potential for $8 Million Credit at Commercialization Phase

Global Resource Corporation (Other OTC:GBRC), a developer of a patent-pending microwave technology and machinery for a range of applications, today provided additional details regarding the company's joint development agreement (JDA) with Schlumberger Limited (Schlumberger) (NYSE:SLB), the world's leading supplier of technology, integrated project management and information solutions to customers working in the oil and gas industry worldwide.

Originally disclosed on April 28, 2009 via an 8-K SEC filing, the comprehensive JDA provides for a collaborative arrangement between Global Heavy Oil Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Global Resource, and Schlumberger. The JDA provides for a three phased approach with the goal of creating commercial applications/products by utilizing both companies' microwave processing technologies.

"Our work and research with Schlumberger is a milestone agreement for Global Resource Corporation and illustrates the potential of our technology for a number of industries, and in this instance specifically the heavy oil resource industry," says Peter Worthington, Chief Executive Officer of Global Resource Corporation. "We are confident that the successful outcome of this collaboration will be a series of high value, oilfield service products. These products will then likely be sold through Schlumberger's existing business model to companies in the oil and gas exploration and production industries. All activity will take place under a mutually beneficial agreement that leverages both companies' technologies, capabilities and sales channels, and ultimately creates new revenue flows."

Under the JDA, Phase 1 will focus on research and development and identifying specific applications that either reduce costs or increase the value of heavy oil. Heavy oil, being hydrocarbons having an API gravity below 23.4 degrees, form over 70% of the world's known hydrocarbon resources. Phase 1 will run for up to 2 years although a much shorter period is anticipated. In Phase 2, the collaboration will develop one or more prototypes based on the findings of Phase 1.
