BITTERFELD-WOLFEN, GERMANY -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 12/04/09 -- Q-Cells SE / Contract / Ad hoc: Q-Cells and LDK Solar announce continuation of supply contract for solar wafer

Ad hoc announcement according to §15 WpHG processed and transmitted by Hugin. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.

------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- --------------

Bitterfeld-Wolfen (Germany), Xinyu City (China) and Sunnyvale (Calif.), 4 December 2009:

Q-Cells SE and LDK Solar Co., Ltd. jointly announce that the two companies have reached an agreement to continue their supply contract for solar wafers from 2009 to 2018. During recent amicable negotiations, the two companies resolved all differences of opinion over the interpretation of the agreement and neither side will pursue legal action. Q-Cells also agreed to no longer pursue measures to collect the bank guarantee. Joint business activities between the two companies remain unchanged.

Q-Cells and LDK Solar have agreed to increase the flexibility of delivery schedule. Flexible pricing based on market levels and Q-Cells' preferred customer status will apply for the entire remainder of the contract term. A portion of shipments scheduled in the years 2009 to 2011 have been postponed to the period 2012 to 2018. Q-Cells will therefore receive around 20% in the current year and at least one third of the originally agreed volumes in 2010 and 2011. Q-Cells also has the option to increase these volumes if needed. The total delivery volume for the entire ten-year term remains unchanged at around 6 GWp. In addition to the amendment, the parties have finalized an agreement to expand their cooperation in the areas of cell and module processing. Q-Cells will supply solar cells to LDK Solar on a tolling basis and LDK Solar will supply modules to Q-Cells on the same basis.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Dec. 4, 2009) - Fronteer Development Group Inc. (TSX: FRG)(NYSE Amex: FRG) is pleased to announce that an independent Economic Impact Assessment of the Michelin Uranium Project indicates significant long-term economic benefits to regional governments and communities.

The Michelin Project, located in North Coast Labrador, Canada, is held by Aurora Energy Resources Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Fronteer.

The study estimates the Michelin Project would generate the following combined benefits for the communities and governments of Nunatsiavut and Newfoundland and Labrador:

- 31,200 person years of employment

- $2.9 billion in business and individual income

- $1.8 billion in tax revenues

Over the life of the mine, the Project would also provide significant benefits to other Canadian provinces and the federal government, including a combined $2.9 billion in income and $2.3 billion in tax revenues.

"The Economic Impact Assessment clearly shows that this is a project that would create substantial, long-term benefits to both the region and Canada as a whole," says Bruce Dumville, Aurora President and CEO. "The construction and operation of the Michelin Project would provide meaningful employment opportunities, contribute to local, provincial and federal economies, and generate significant tax revenues for all levels of government."

The study was conducted by Strategic Concepts, Inc. (SCI) and Wade Locke Economic Consulting, experienced consulting firms specializing in Canadian resource-based economic impact assessments, with particular expertise in Newfoundland and Labrador projects. The purpose of the study was to measure the economic impacts of the Michelin Project on governments and economies locally and across Canada.

The findings of the Economic Impact Assessment underscore the large-scale, economically robust character of the Project as demonstrated in the Preliminary Economic Assessment (see September 9, 2009 news release, Fronteer Reports Positive Preliminary Economic Assessment for Michelin Uranium Project).

About the Michelin Uranium Project

Fronteer recently issued the results of a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), prepared by AMEC Americas Limited, which supports a financially robust open-pit and underground uranium mining operation at the Michelin and Jacques Lake deposits, and a milling facility at the Michelin site capable of processing 10,000 tonnes of mineralization per day, which will produce up to 7.3 million pounds of U3O8 per annum. Direct cash costs are stated at US$28.57 per pound of U3O8 over the 17-year mine life. At an 8% discount rate, the Project's pre-tax net present value is US$914 million with a pre-tax internal rate of return of 19.4% on an unlevered 100% equity basis, and a pay-back period of 4.7 years.

NEXT STEPS

The recently completed PEA combined with this valuable Economic Impact Assessment provide Fronteer with a context for establishing the most advantageous method for developing of the Michelin Project.

Community consultations with Labrador residents are continuing which includes meetings with the Michelin Project Community Panel. Aurora is also working to complete the tailings management plan for the Project and to optimize project engineering and construction costs.

Environmental baseline studies are ongoing and Aurora continues to prepare the project registration document for the regulatory process.

The Nunatsiavut Government is currently in the process of developing its environmental legislation and Land Use Plan. The Land Use Plan is a joint process between Nunatsiavut Government and the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador. The Nunatsiavut Government requires these instruments to be in place ahead of large-scale resource development projects. Both initiatives are expected to be completed on or before March 2011.

PREPARATION OF PEA AND QUALIFIED PERSON

The PEA has been prepared with the input from AMEC, J.R Goode and Associates, SGS Lakefield Services Limited, and S.D. Energy Associates Limited.

AMEC is an international project management and engineering consultancy firm with extensive experience in resource development projects.

J.R. Goode and Associates, has more than 45 years of mineral and uranium processing experience. Mr. Goode has worked on numerous uranium projects in Canada and worldwide.

S.D. Energy Associates is an international nuclear fuel market consultancy and brokerage firm with extensive experience in uranium industry strategy and marketing.

SGS Lakefield Research Limited is a global leader in providing mining and metallurgical services.

Further details of the PEA are available in the updated National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report, dated Oct. 23, 2009, which is posted on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).

The PEA was prepared under the supervision of Mr. Steve Cole, P.Eng, Director of Engineering, Aurora, and Mark Hertel, P.Geo, Principal Geologist AMEC, a "qualified person", as such term is defined in National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Cole has supervised the preparation of, and verified all scientific and technical data pertaining to the PEA that is contained in this news release.

This Economic Impact Assessment is preliminary in nature and intends to provide a measurement of the economic impacts of a project on governments and impacted economies. The study provides fair estimations based on acceptable assumptions and its content should not be considered definitive or binding. The PEA is also preliminary in nature as it includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves at this time and as such there is no certainty that the preliminary assessment and economics set forth in the PEA will be realized. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

Such forward-looking statements, including but not limited to, those with respect to potential expansion of mineralization, potential size of mineralized zone, and size and timing of exploration and development programs and the timing and availability of regulatory approvals, potential long and short term economic benefits to regional, provincial and federal governments, communities and Fronteer, results of community consultations and proposed management plans, future project engineering and construction costs, and timing and availability of regulatory and environmental approvals, involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievement of Fronteer to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

WESTBOROUGH, Mass., Dec. 4, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Viking Systems, Inc. (OTCBB: VKNG), a supplier of 2D and 3D visualization systems for the medical market, today provided the following business updates:

 * At the MEDICA tradeshow in Dusseldorf last month, Viking
   Systems' "Next Generation" prototype 3DHD camera system was
   demonstrated utilizing a prototype Sony 3DHD flat panel display.
   Jed Kennedy, Viking's president and chief operating officer,
   described the event saying, "The reactions confirmed what we
   previously reported from the American College of Surgeon's 95th
   annual Clinical Congress in Chicago.  We were extremely pleased
   with the level of interest shown in this new technology. The
   interactive 3DHD demonstration was once again well received.
   While 2D high definition cameras currently represent the vast
   majority of camera placements in the approximately $1 billion
   surgical video systems market, it remains clear that 3DHD is the
   next advancement in endoscopic surgical vision."  Viking Systems
   anticipates having its Next Generation 3DHD camera system ready
   for the market in approximately one year and is exploring
   sources of financing in this connection.

 * Also at MEDICA, conversations were initiated with several
   potential distribution partners for Viking regarding sales of
   its Next Generation product in the U.S. market. Viking currently
   has a distributor network in place outside the U.S.

 * Viking previously indicated it received a large order from the
   U.S. Army for deployment of one of its complete 3Di systems at
   each of seven regional Army Medical Centers throughout the
   United States.  These systems were shipped and installed in
   October, and Viking has received the full invoiced amount of
   approximately $900,000.

 * As contemplated in Viking Systems' November 3, 2009 press
   release, the Company has delivered a "designed to specification"
   prototype high definition 3DHD visualization system to a
   manufacturer of surgical robotic systems as part of a
   development agreement. The system prototype was a key
   deliverable in the completion of the development arrangement.
   Viking believes that the prototype performed well and met or
   exceeded expectations. There can be no assurance that any
   further agreement for this product will ultimately be reached,
   and the confidential nature of R&D programs makes it
   inappropriate to comment on timing in this regard.

 * On December 3, 2009, Viking Systems filed with the SEC an
   amendment to its previously filed Form 10Q for the quarter ended
   September 30, 2009.  The amendment was made to correct the
   statement of operations for the three months ended September 30,
   2009 for a mathematical error made when deriving the three month
   results from the reported nine month results. The correction
   does not affect the Company's balance sheet at September 30,
   2009 or its statements of operations or its statement of cash
   flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  See the "As
   Corrected" and "As Reported" financial tables below.
