    TORONTO, April 22 /CNW/ - Active Control Technology Inc. (TSX-V:ACT)
announced today that the U.S. Federal Mine Safety and Health Administration
(MSHA) has fully approved ActiveMine(TM), the premier wireless voice
communications and locating system for mines.
    MSHA today approved ActiveMine's wireless Wi-Fi phones - the final system
component to be approved for use in all areas of underground coal mines. This
clears the final regulatory condition for all previously announced
installations to proceed and paves the way to additional sales opportunities.
    "This is great news for customers who want to get the productivity and
safety benefits of ActiveMine to work as quickly as possible in their mines,"
said Steve Barrett, President and CEO, Active Control. "We thank customers for
their confidence in ActiveMine's successful approval, and MSHA for their
assistance throughout the process."
    The completion of ActiveMine MSHA approvals comes approximately two
months before the June 15, 2009 MINER Act deadline for all underground coal
mines in the U.S. to submit mine safety plans that include provisions for
wireless two-way communication and electronic tracking. There are
approximately 650 underground coal mines in the U.S.
    Barrett remarked, "We look forward to working with many potential
customers that have been anticipating our final approvals before finalizing
their purchase decision."
