TIREX AUTHORIZES INCREASE IN COMMON SHARES

          Westport, CT, February 25, 2010
 The Tirex Corporation (TXMC.PK: OTC-Pink Sheets), owner of a patented tire recycling technology, the TCS
System, recently raised its authorized common shares from 1.5 billion to 2 billion.

"Management intends to use part of this increase to satisfy certain liabilities such as compensation to legal counsel,
auditors, agents, consultants, employees and for working capital to further our business activities," according to President, John L. Threshie, Jr.   "We expect to be current in our financial reporting very soon as a direct result of this increase,” Threshie said.  “It will also allow us to engage a North American scrap tire recycling consulting organization committed to assisting us in marketing our technology in the U.S.," he pointed out. Tirex's manufacturing partner, Simpro S.p.A. of Torino, Italy, recently reported “significant interest in the TCS System specifically in two European markets and anticipates a definitive commitment imminently.”   

 Simpro also relayed to the Tirex Board of Directors its frustration with the previously announced Memorandum of Understanding between Simpro and the Malaysian company, Enchantex Solutions SDN. BHD.    While Simpro insists that the project is still feasible, the complexity of the relationships with the other groups within the industrial complex has hindered its progress well beyond the originally scheduled date.

Simpro also reported to the Board that the parts being manufactured for the "fracturing mill" (the patented part of the TCS System) are on hold at approximately 75% of completion until Simpro has a deposit to begin manufacturing the first commercial system.

ABOUT TIREX

            Tirex’s TCS (Tirex Cryo System) process freezes scrap tire pieces with cold air – as opposed to expensive liquid nitrogen – and then “breaks” the rubber into granules in a patented “fracturing mill”, instead of cutting and shredding it.  This process also separates the marketable strands of steel and fiber from the frozen ground rubber with an environmentally-friendly, economically-attractive, “green” tire recycling system.  For more information go to www.tirex-tcs.com
