Ikona to Exhibit New Gearing Products at Permian Basin International Oil Show

Ikona Gear International, Inc. (OTCBB: IKGI) ("Ikona"), an innovator in compact, lightweight, gearing systems solutions, announced today that it will be exhibiting its new gearing products for the oil industry at the upcoming 2006 Permian Basin International Oil Show.

Billed as "The World's Largest Inland Petroleum Exposition," the show will be held at the Ector County Coliseum Complex in Odessa, Texas on October 17, 18 and 19, 2006. Ikona will be located at booth E 23 and will exhibit dedicated oil & gas field machinery product designs for mud pump drives and drawworks.

Ikona COO George Stefan will attend the Odessa show with Ikona's Vice President of Business Development, Vladimir Scekic. Visitors to the Ikona booth at the Odessa show are invited to talk with Ikona's senior management team, access printed materials, and watch animated presentations of Ikona products.

"Our compact and lightweight products offer reduced maintenance requirements, competitive prices, and the best warranty in the industry -- six months longer than the competition," said Stefan. "This helps drilling companies with reducing their capital investments, operating costs, and rig relocation costs.

"As a direct result of the contacts established at the Global Petroleum Show in Calgary, AB, June 13-15, 2006, we received our first oil & gas orders, which currently are either delivered or in process of manufacturing for delivery in December 2006 and January 2007. We have successfully delivered two complete prototype gearboxes within 9 weeks from receipt of the order against an industry standard of 12 to 14 weeks delivery, thus demonstrating Ikona's superior time-to-market abilities and the strength of our supply chain."
