FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NATUROL FILES MAJOR NEW PATENT THAT SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASES PR OTEIN AND OIL
RECOVERY FROM OILSEEDS
Technology could give significant profit boost to producers of Soy Bean,
Canola and other major oil seed crops.

June 5TH , 2002, Las Vegas, Nevada - Coronado Explorations Ltd. (The Company)
(OTC:BB-COOX) announced today that Naturol U.K. Limited  has filed a patent
to protect its  new technology for separating oils from oil seeds,
particularly  soybean, canola, sunflower, and cottonseeds. Naturol Inc.
(www.Naturol.net)  is a wholly owned subsidiary of  Coronado,  and has been
granted the exclusive North American license by Naturol U.K. Limited to
develop and commercialise  all the Naturol technologies.

"This technology has the capability of  increasing the  current value of
Canola meal by up to $40 a ton" stated Paul McClory, President & CEO. Based
on a report by the Saskatchewan Canola Development Commission, every 2%
increase in protein over 34%, the typical Canola meal protein content,  is
worth at least $16 per ton. According to Agriculture Canada, global Canola
meal production is in excess of 21 million tons per annum. World protein
consumption for 2001 - 2002 is forecast at approximately 182 million tons
with soy meal production comprising 114 million tons.

An important aspect of this new solvent based technology  is its ability to
produce new and unique compositions of oils and protein isolates. The
production economics of the technology are  superior to conventional, hexane
based, oilseed processing plants. Naturol oilseed processing systems will be
safer, easier to use and, unlike hexane, will be emission free.

The new technology removes virtually all oils and fats from oil seeds.
Because the extraction process is conducted at around room temperature, a
superior oil and meal is produced. Heat degradation of the oils and protein,
which occurs with hexane, a solvent with a much higher boiling point, has
been virtually eliminated. In trials with Canola seed it has been shown that,
using the process described in the Naturol patent application, the soluble
protein yield is almost doubled over that of hexane extracted Canola meal and
that the yield of high molecular weight protein is significantly enhanced.
These factors will lead to a commercial protein isolate of superior quality
and functionality at a lower cost, for use in food and nutraceutical
products.

The oil free meal that remains after extraction of the solvent-soluble
components  provides a unique, and valuable, functional and nutritional
protein isolate. This isolate has a significantly increased ratio of high
molecular weight to low molecular weight protein, while at the same time
having a substantially greater percentage of absorbable protein.



As such it produces a more economical, higher value protein and nutritional
ingredient for food applications as well as an improved nutritional
supplement for non-food  uses.

Management believes that the company's new technology will lead to a
significant improvement in the yields and quality of soy protein isolate, as
has already been demonstrated in canola.

In addition, the Naturol technology should eliminate the loss of a number of
valuable components which naturally occur in soybean, such as antioxidants
and Vitamin E. These are now  significantly reduced during  removal of the
residual hexane ( a gasoline like solvent) from conventionally extracted soy
meal.

"When compared with protein recovered from oil seeds by currently available
processes, the protein isolate produced by the Naturol technology is so
significantly different in molecular  weight distribution and available
(soluble) protein, it is believed that  worldwide patent protection will be
obtained covering these new compositions. "   stated Dr. Michael J. Ram, a
Naturol Inc. board member and patent counsel.

The filing of patents covering unique new food additive compositions and
extracts by Naturol  is an important step in expanding the Naturol patent
portfolio and establishing a proprietary presence in the commercial
marketplace for the company's technology. Because composition patents cover
unique properties or combinations of food additives or extracts rather than
the way the additives are produced, Naturol Inc. will be able to provide to
its licensees and joint venture partners exclusive rights to unique new
nutritional supplements, thus providing them with a distinct market advantage
over  their competition.

Naturol Inc is dedicated to becoming a global leader in the commercialization
of technology for the production of low cost, high quality extracts from
natural materials. Naturol's proprietary technologies offer a more benign and
cost effective alternative to current extraction technologies  for the
production of quality extracts  for use in the $2.4 billion dollar U.S.
market for plant based pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, food additives,
flavors and fragrances.
