Global Marine Ltd. Enters into Exclusive Sales Agreement with PanAsean Development Corporation

Global's Innovative 3D Imaging Science Upgrading Mineral Deposit Search Equipment; Agreement Could Bring Millions of Dollars of New Business to Global Marine Ltd. in Coming Year


CHARLESTON, S.C., May 17, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Global Marine Ltd. (Pink Sheets:GLBM) announced today that the Company has entered into an exclusive agreement for all of Asia with PanAsean Development Corporation. Under this agreement, PanAsean will utilize Global's newly acquired Wildfire Technologies USA, 3D patented imaging science for the location of Oil, Gas and Mineral Deposits in Asia.

Global Marine Ltd. negotiated a Royalty Fee of 0.5% of the oil, gas or mineral deposits found as payment to GLBM for the use of this revolutionary technology. As a further incentive for signing this agreement, PanAsean will provide additional support and marketing for Global Marine Ltd.'s other products and services, which include historical shipwreck and marine artifact recovery.

This new discovery, called a sinusoidal waveform or Data Flow Enhancement (DFE), applies to devices using standard wavelength frequencies from the simplest to the most complex. Applying the system to current mineral deposit mapping technology can isolate a particular mineral, oil or gas pocket and draw a 3-Dimensional picture of the deposit field, penetrating miles beneath the surface or substrate. Fine-tuned to discriminate programmed densities, this system will be used on both land and ocean-based surveys,

Mr. David K. Cordova, CEO of PanAsean, stated, "The impact potential of DFE in the mining field is profound and when applied to any penetrating radar device will increase the performance level 50% to 1000 times while consuming 30% less energy and producing 50% less heat. 3D high-resolution imagery of a variety of surfaces and sub-surfaces makes the DFE design extremely attractive for newer, better and faster searching and mapping devices."

PanAsean acquired this proprietary technology after determining that DFE technology may save their Corporation millions of dollars in the search and mapping phase of finding or increasing the potential of producing mines, increasing their corporate profitability dramatically.
