              Funding Agreement Signed With Swancorp Equities Inc.
                     to Provide Over $15 Million in Funding
                         For Earth Search Sciences Inc.

MCCALL, Idaho--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 1, 1998--Earth Search Sciences, Inc. 
(OTC BB:EDIS - news) today announced the signing of a major funding agreement 
with Swancorp Equities Inc. of Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

"Earth Search is pleased to acquire Swancorp's  international funding experience
in raising our next stages of investment  capital,"  Chairman  Larry Vance said.
"As Earth Search moves from its  development  stages into an operating  company,
capital is required to commercialize  our PROBE 1 remote sensing  technology and
to maximize  our global  marketing  plans.  Alberta is well known for its strong
support of natural  resource  companies and new  technology.  Swancorp is a good
choice for us in that regard."

The funding agreement  contemplates Swancorp assisting Earth Search in obtaining
$5 million of capital in a direct private placement with a potential  additional
$5 million  through the exercise of attached  warrants.  Swancorp is prepared to
assist Earth Search with  subsequent  funding of an  additional  $5 million,  if
desired by Earth Search through a combination of shares and warrants  offered in
a private placement with varying exercise prices.

Swancorp  anticipates that the first $1 million of the funding will be completed
in April followed by $4 million by the end of the second quarter. Although there
can be no assurance  that  Swancorp  will be  successful  in raising such funds,
Earth Search is optimistic that funds will be available  within the time periods
suggested by Swancorp.

The  company  is  looking  for an  airborne  platform  that  meets  the  precise
requirements  of our PROBE 1  technology.  The company has narrowed the field of
candidates  and is  looking  forward  to  finalizing  an  agreement  to lease or
purchase. The company anticipates using a portion of the longer term proceeds to
fund such lease or purchase.

This press release contains forward-looking  statements concerning the company's
capitalization and plans that are subject to risks and uncertainties. This press
release is not  intended  to,  nor should it be  interpreted  to,  constitute  a
prediction of future events.

     Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934,
