IBC Advanced Alloys Corp. (TSX VENTURE:IB)(OTCQX: IAALF) ("IBC" or the
"Company") is pleased to announce that it will present its beryllium oxide
("BeO") nuclear fuel research at the American Nuclear Society's annual Top Fuels
Light Water Reactor Fuel Performance meeting being held September 15 - 19 in
Charlotte, NC. IBC's work focuses on developing an enhanced beryllium oxide,
more accident tolerant, nuclear fuel for both current and future nuclear
reactors. Recent developments will be presented at the conference. 


"We are very encouraged with the results of our research to date and are pleased
to be attending the conference," said James Malone, Vice-President of Nuclear
Fuels for IBC. "We are committed to an enhanced BeO fuel and the further
development of more accident tolerant fuels. We believe they will be the
foundation of a more efficient, economically sound and safer nuclear power
industry and we are looking forward to discussing our work with industry peers
and potential future partners." 


As a result of recent nuclear industry events, especially the 2011 accident at
Fukushima, industry officials and governments are supporting alternative
advanced fuel designs including increased R&D initiatives for more accident
tolerant fuels. Because of this increasing industry awareness, the Company is in
discussions with a number of potential nuclear industry partners, including
Japanese fuel suppliers, to explore and discuss the next phase of R&D including
irradiation requirements and testing of the fuel in test reactors.


IBC recently reported that the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ("MIT")
completed a fuel performance study supporting IBC's BeO nuclear fuel technology
combined with Ceramic Tubular Products, LLC ("CTP") silicon carbide cladding.
The MIT report validates how IBC's BeO enhanced fuel and CTP's SiC cladding
could reduce fuel operating temperatures and improve fuel operating
characteristics leading to a safer and more accident tolerant fuel. The report,
along with other recent findings from Texas A&M and Purdue Universities, will be
presented at the Top Fuels conference. 


Purdue and Texas A&M University nuclear engineers have shown how an advanced BeO
nuclear fuel could potentially result in significant cost savings due to
improved performance efficiencies over conventional nuclear fuels. In addition
to the cost savings, an advanced BeO nuclear fuel could also improve the
operational safety of nuclear reactors due to its improved thermal conductivity
which allows the fuel to operate at lower temperatures which implies less
sensible heat in the case of upset conditions.
