VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 09/09/09 -- September 9, 2009 - IBC Advanced Alloys Corp. (TSX VENTURE: IB) ("IBC" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has appointed James P. Malone, formerly Vice President, Nuclear Fuels for Exelon Generation (VP, NF), a wholly owned subsidiary of Exelon Corp., to the IBC nuclear fuels advisory board. The advisory board's role is to assist the Company with its strategic plan to develop and commercialize the nuclear fuel technology currently being undertaken by Purdue and Texas A&M Universities in partnership with IBC.

Mr. Malone has more than 40 years of experience in the nuclear power industry, focused on the technical, economic and planning aspects of nuclear fuels. At Exelon the VP, NF is responsible for their nuclear fuel cycle activities, including procurement, safeguards, economics, and fuel cycle cost. Exelon operates the largest nuclear reactor fleet in the nation and the third largest fleet in the world. Exelon's ten stations, with 17 reactors, represent approximately 20 percent of the U.S. nuclear industry's power capacity.

In addition, the VP, NF is involved with core design, safety analysis and plant technical support including fuel reliability, component procurement strategy, high-level waste and spent fuel management. The VP, NF also guides the interactions of the nuclear fuels staff in the regulatory, political and public acceptance areas.

Prior to Exelon, he was a vice president at NAC International where he participated in fuel cycle consulting including fuel reliability via NAC's Stoller Nuclear Fuel Division. Mr. Malone spent several years at SWUCO, Inc. as a SWU broker. Prior to SWUCO he was manager of economic analysis at Yankee Atomic. Mr. Malone began his career as an engineer in the utility reactor core analysis section of the nuclear engineering department of United Nuclear Corporation.

He graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in chemical engineering (nuclear) from Manhattan College in the Bronx, New York, and received an MBA from Iona College in New Rochelle, New York, with a Graduate School of Business Award for Academic Excellence.

"I am very excited to be a part of IBC's nuclear fuels initiative," said Mr. Malone. "I know from long experience that reactor safety and fuel performance are two of the most important issues facing the nuclear industry today affecting consumers, fabricators and regulators alike. IBC's advanced UO2 - BeO high conductivity fuel," continued Malone, "has significant positive implications for the nuclear power industry and I am look forward to being a part of this important industry initiative."

"We are very pleased to have Jim as a member of IBC's advisory board," said Anthony Dutton, President and CEO of IBC. "IBC has identified a significant commercial opportunity to make a positive contribution to a more efficient, economically sound and safer nuclear power industry. We look forward to working with Mr. Malone," continued Dutton, "with his deep industry experience as we advance this initiative for both IBC and the nuclear fuels industry."

IBC signed a collaborative research agreement with Purdue University in August 2008 to advance the university's existing nuclear fuels research program and to develop a new type of beryllium oxide enhanced nuclear fuel that has higher thermal conductivity and is therefore potentially longer lasting, more efficient and safer than current uranium-based nuclear fuels. The objective of the research is to commercially develop a nuclear fuel for optimal use in both current and future nuclear reactors.

IBC will grant incentive stock options to Mr. Malone, for the purchase of 100,000 common shares of the Company, at an exercise price of $0.15. The options have a five-year term and vest in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange. The options are being granted pursuant to the terms of the Company's 2008 stock option plan and are subject to TSX Venture Exchange policies and approval.
