Exhibit 99.1

PALA INVESTMENTS CLOSES ADDITIONAL $2.5 MILLION INVESTMENT IN RCAI

SAN CLEMENTE, California, April 2, 2008 -- Reclamation Consulting and
Applications, Inc. (RCAI) (OTCBB: RCAA), a world leader in
productivity-enhancing, environmentally-friendly anti-stick release agents and
lubricants to the mining sector, announced today that it has secured an
additional $2.5 million in financing from Pala Investments Holdings Limited
(Pala), taking Pala's total investment in RCAI to $5.5 million. In addition,
subject to RCAI meeting certain conditions, Pala will invest an additional $2.0
million in RCAI on or before the end of 2008, which would bring the total
financing provided by Pala to $7.5 million. Pala is a Jersey-based investment
company focused exclusively on the mining and natural resources sectors with
over $1 billion dollars under management.

RCAI will use the additional investment from Pala to repay existing secured
convertible debentures and to provide ongoing liquidity as it continues to
develop the significant market for its patented Alderox(R) line of release
agents.

Mike Davies, CEO of the RCAI said, "The increase in Pala's investment gives RCAI
the ability to focus on increasing our sales of Alderox(R) to the global mining
industry and provides us with the security to enter this period of high-growth
with confidence. The ongoing support we have received from Pala symbolizes the
strong partnership that has developed between the companies and that we believe
puts us in a strong position for the future."

Pala's additional $2.5 million investment amends the terms of agreements entered
into by Pala and RCAI on December 12, 2007. Under the amended terms, Pala's
investment is structured as a three-year convertible debenture in three
tranches, allowing Pala to convert their investment into RCAI's common stock at
$0.14 for the first tranche and $0.07 for the second and third tranches. Pala
has also received three-year warrants for up to 5.5 million additional shares
under the terms of the first two investment tranches totaling $5.5 million, with
an additional 2 million warrants due following the investment of the third
tranche of $2 million, all at an exercise price of $0.21 per share.

RCAI announced that, with the funds received from Pala, it has prepaid $1.2
million of principal and interest on three secured convertible debentures which
would have fallen due November 2008.

Full details of the investment are disclosed within the RCAI's 8-K report filed
with the SEC on 2 April 2008, and available at the SEC's website www.sec.gov.
