Palm Bay, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 01/10/2017 -- Oakridge Global Energy Solutions, Inc.  (OTCQB: OGES), a leading U.S. based manufacturer of Lithium-ion smart energy cells for military, civilian and medical applications, is pleased to provide the following General Status Update for the commencement of its 2017 business year.

Since its last series of press releases to the market in September, 2016, Oakridge has been working intensively with its major shareholder, Precept Fund Management Group ("Precept"), on a number of highly confidential initiatives for 2017, which due to important non-disclosure obligations imposed on the Company by the various counterparties to these initiatives, the Company has not been at liberty to disclose.

However, in the interests of keeping the market informed, Oakridge can provide the following update as to its activities and what it has planned for 2017 and beyond:

- The Company, through its major shareholder, Precept, is currently in the process of closing a significant private placement with a major new strategic investor which will become the Company's second largest shareholder behind Precept, and which, in addition to significant funding, will also bring to the Company major new product distribution and sales opportunities on a global scale;

- Precept Group itself has also been working directly with the Company with a view to providing the Company with significant additional working capital funding directly from Precept Group during 2017 to provide the Company with all the capital it needs to fund its business expansion plans for 2017 and beyond;

- These two initiatives mean that the Company will not be seeking external funding for its business activities from the capital markets and will be internally funded;

- The Company, through Precept, has been working since September to materially expand its network of high level Japanese lithium battery industry relationships, leveraging off Precept's existing network of Japanese relationships, and these new developments include:

- supply and joint development relationships to facilitate the design and manufacture of the Company's previously announced Generation 2 products, plus additional products that the Company has been working on jointly with its Japanese strategic partners since September, 2016;

- the establishment of a joint venture to manufacture and sell the company's patented thin-film solid state lithium batteries for major new international markets;

- The approval and finalization of three separate grants and associated financing structures for the funding of the construction of three new state-of-the-art lithium-ion battery manufacturing plants globally as part of the Company's strategy to become a major global player in the industry;

- The establishment of new product marketing, sales and distribution arrangements for its products both in the US and globally;

- The establishment of a major new corporate and logistics/distribution center on the West Coast of the US for the efficient distribution of its products throughout US and the rest of the Americas;

- The establishment of a major new corporate office for the Company in Japan to facilitate the expansion of the Company's important new relationships there, reflecting the fact that from 2017, Japan will become a major strategic center for the Company, both from a technical expertise and also from a product development and manufacturing standpoint;

- The expansion of the Company's existing Hong Kong office, which will from Q2, 2017, become the Company's global corporate, finance and administrative center, reflecting the fact that as a result of the initiatives the Company started in 2016 following its sale of its stake in Swiss battery manufacturer, Leclanche S.A.,the Company's business plan and corporate relationships are now becoming truly global;

- The expansion of the Company's Hong Kong presence will also see the appointment of a new international firm as auditor, and is being implemented in conjunction with the finalization of the updating of the Company's financial statements in a way that is consistent both with SEC requirements and with the internationalization of the Company's business that is now underway with the assistance of Precept;

- The appointment of a new Defense Industry Advisory Board to facilitate the penetration of the Company's products to the military and defense market in the US and its major Allies.

- The planning, with the producers of the financial information show, "New To The Street", of a regular series of globally syndicated TV shows which will track the progress of the Company in the international market as it follows its current path of the globalization of its business, commenced in late 2016.

The Company is not, due to non-disclosure obligations currently placed upon it, at liberty to disclose further details of the above matters at this time, but will be providing specific details on each of these matters when it is at liberty to do so during the coming weeks and months.

Palm Bay, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/15/2016 -- Oakridge Global Energy Solutions (OTCQB:OGES), a leading U.S. based manufacturer of Lithium-ion smart energy cells for military, civilian and medical applications is excited to announce it has been selected by Maritime Tactical Systems, Inc., (MARTAC), to design new, second generation, more powerful solar powered battery packs for their "MANTAS" range of Unmanned Maritime Vessels, building on the success of OGES' Gen 1 power systems it originally developed for MARTAC during early 2016.

MARTAC is a Melbourne, Florida based company that designs and produces the Man-Portable Tactical Autonomous Systems (MANTAS) which are unmanned surface and subsurface vessels that have numerous applications in port and harbor security patrol, anti-piracy, search and rescue, mine warfare, Anti-Submarine Warfare, ISR and many other military and commercial applications.

To see video of the MANTAS unmanned vessels, go to the MARTAC website http://martacsystems.com/MANTAS.aspx.

MARTAC's enormous success at RIMPAC 2016, the world's largest international maritime exercise hosted by the U.S. Pacific Fleet, encouraged the company to approach OGES Executive Chairman and CEO Steve Barber, to see if his team could design a new second generation solar powered Lithium-ion battery pack using Oakridge's revolutionary Gen 2 Smart Energy Cell Technology. "The design specifications for the Gen 2 MANTAS battery packs are exactly the sort of challenge the Oakridge team thrives on," Barber stated. "The real beauty of this project is that we can now integrate our Gen 2 Smart Energy Cell Technology into the design specifications, so we can give MARTAC a high performance, long reliability, ultra-safe combination Lithium-ion battery pack, with a compact solar panel attached on top, that will remain continuously charged."

Mr. Barber added, "In addition to operating in a continuously charged state utilizing solar power, the battery cell pack is designed with "plug 'n play" functionality, so it can easily be installed or removed from the vessel instantly. A significant new capability of MARTAC's next MANTAS design is that it will now be able to operate under water at a depth of up to 30 feet, utilizing OGES' custom designed battery packs with its Gen 2 technology. We are very pleased to be collaborating with MARTAC in order to develop a state-of-the-art solution for their power supply requirements, to enable them to become the world class leader in their space."

Palm Bay, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 08/11/2016 -- Oakridge Global Energy Solutions (OTCQB:OGES), a leading U.S. based manufacturer of Lithium-ion smart energy cells for military, civilian and medical applications, today announced that it is creating the Oakridge Center for Advanced Energy Technology (C-Tech) in Palm Bay, Florida.

C-Tech is the vision of Oakridge Executive Chairman & CEO, Steve Barber and his wife Suzanna, to create a unique tertiary education training program dedicated to the creation, in the US, of a significant pool of highly skilled professionals trained in advanced battery technology and manufacturing techniques which will benefit both Oakridge and the US lithium battery industry as a whole.

In announcing the new C-Tech facility, Mr. Barber stated, "We are very pleased to be instrumental in creating the Oakridge Center for Advanced Energy Technology. C-Tech will enable us to take a much more proactive role in educating and training people, and in creating more lucrative high-technology job opportunities in what is now becoming recognized as the "next wave" of the lithium battery industry.

We have found over the past 12 months that there is a significant lack of ready and available trained staff for our business in the US due to the fact that the global epicenter of the lithium ion battery industry has over the past 25 years migrated to the Far East (Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and China), and now we are even competing with Korean products made in Vietnam. Our creation of C-TECH is a win-win situation for all in the industry in the US. It is our way of trying to bring the industry back to the US, and is also, I believe, an excellent way for Oakridge to show its support and give back to the local community, while at the same time creating a growing pool of trained specialty workers at all levels of the business from production line workers, to technicians, engineers, chemists, designers, marketing and business professionals that will facilitate a steady stream of interest from prospective employees.

In exchange for creating and participating in the C-Tech facility, Oakridge hopes to attract C-Tech graduates at all levels, who have been educated and trained in the latest battery technologies and automated manufacturing techniques, in order to satisfy the future personnel requirements necessitated by the projected future growth of Oakridge.

Oakridge is contributing approximately $15,000,000 million worth of its own lithium-ion cell and battery manufacturing equipment to the C-Tech facility, which is freed up by the ongoing business growth of the company. C-TECH will be established as a "not for profit structure" and it will gradually involve the participation of at least three major universities from the US and overseas, to certify and run the various courses developed by C-TECH on an ongoing basis

Oakridge will be making further announcements regarding the exciting development and implementation of C-TECH in the coming months.

New York, NY -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/19/2016 -- As priorities over our energy sources are shifting, innovation in new energy technology sectors is growing rapidly. One of the most interesting developments has been in the lithium-ion batteries market, which is already being used in a wide array of applications. These are the companies in the space domestically and internationally. China BAK Battery Inc., Oakridge Global Energy Solutions, Inc. (OTC:OGES), FMC Corp , Albemarle Corporation, Sociedad Quimica y Minera de Chile.

A recently published research on the global battery energy storage market for smart grid by Technavio, a research company which focuses on emerging market trends, claims that lithium-ion batteries are to dominate the battery energy storage market. The research into detail describing the growth of the 3 segments in the global battery energy storage market for smart grid: Li-ion batteries, Lead-acid batteries and Sodium sulfur batteries, claiming that the li-ion batteries segment in particular is projected to reach 3,130 MW by 2020, growing at a CAGR of close to 72%.

Li-ion batteries have a lot of advantages. Lithium is the third lightest element, which leads to the production high capacity of batteries. In addition, Li-ion batteries use non-aqueous electrolytes that offer high operating voltages. The challenge has been high costs. Companies like China BAK Battery Inc. (NASDAQ: CBAK), through its subsidiaries, is engaged in the manufacture, commercialization and distribution of various standard and customized lithium ion (Li-ion) high power rechargeable batteries. It manufactures over five types of Li-ion rechargeable batteries, such as aluminum-case cell, cylindrical cell, lithium polymer cell and high-power lithium battery cell. Its customers include electric vehicle manufacturers, electric bicycle manufacturers and battery pack manufacturers.

These batteries can be used in a variety of ways, and small companies like Oakridge Global Energy Solutions, Inc. (OTCQB: OGES) have developed batteries strong enough to be used on machines as well. Oakridge Global Energy Solutions have several battery lines: the Pro Series for Golf Cars and the Patriot Series for the high-end hobby market, which have now been followed by the Freedom Series for living space power storage applications, and the Liberty Series of lightweight, highly powerful starter motor batteries for motorcycles, jet skis, snowmobiles, boats, cars and trucks. Oakridge Global Energy's battery systems comprised of large and small format prismatic lithium cells.

Oakridge Global Energy Solutions, Inc. stated earlier this year that the, "product development team has been working diligently to develop additional products for release throughout the balance of 2016. Additional capacity has been added by nearly tripling the capacity in cell formation, and much more high speed automation equipment is on order for delivery before the end of 2016."

As of today, lithium batteries are most widely used in our smartphones and tablets. Due to the demand of lithium, manufacturers and marketers of specialty chemicals, who are the suppliers of lithium, like FMC Corp and Sociedad Quimica y Minera de Chile have also benefited from the new segment of lithium batteries. FMC is consistently innovating when it comes to lithium batteries, to find better ways to meet world's growing demand for longer lasting batteries for tablets, phones, power tools, EV cars and even power plants. Sociedad Quimica y Minera de Chile, which claims that it is the world's largest lithium producer, grabbed the opportunity to produce in Argentina, as the new local government plans to open up its reserves. The company agreed to pay $25 million to Lithium Americas Corp. for 50% of Minera Exar, which owns a project in northern Argentina. This is a project that may, according to local studies, produce 40,000 metric tons of a year for more than 30 years.

Then there is Albemarle Corporation, manufacturer and marketer of specialty chemicals across a range of end markets. In 2015 has demonstrated just how important the lithium market is, by acquiring Rockwood Holdings, parent company of Rockwood Lithium for $6.2 billion. Currently Albemarle is trading at all-time highs.

The investments made in lithium-ion batteries, to make them last longer, and reducing production costs, are now flourishing. These batteries, applied to the wide range machines and gadgets, are the future and the industry in many ways, is still at its early stages.

(OTCQB:OGES), a leading US-based manufacturer of Lithium-ion smart energy cells for military, civilian and medical applications, has today announced it will be featured in a three-part, 90-minute television mini-series on Fox Business Network, first airing at 1:30pm EST on July 31, 2016.

The biographical business expose delves into how Oakridge Global Energy Solutions' Executive Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, Steve Barber, and his team started as a research & development company in search of some of the world's best energy cell technologies centered around the fast growing lithium-ion energy storage space. Today, after investing over $40 million, through Mr. Barber's private family office fund, Precept Fund Management SPC, and 2+ years of time and energy in developing industry-leading products, the Company is poised to reap the rewards.

The series will be hosted by award-winning television host Ken Evseroff of New To The Street, filmed on location at Oakridge's 70,000-square-foot manufacturing plant that Mr. Barber and his team converted into a state-of-the-art facility in Palm Bay, Florida. The series details how Mr. Barber's vision is becoming reality, as OGES transitions from research and development, to the design and manufacture of its second generation commercial lithium ion "smart" energy cells for civilian, military and medical applications, including power for golf cars and local area electric vehicles, starter motor batteries for motorcycles, ATVs, jet skis and boats, living space power backup systems and uninterruptable power supplies, power for drones and UAVs/UUVs and several high growth custom niche markets such as medical and defense, with sales revenue expected to grow exponentially over the next several years.

Palm Bay, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/11/2016 -- Today, Oakridge Global Energy Solutions (OTCQB:OGES), announced it has restated financial statements for Fiscal Year 2015.  These restatements will have no affect on Q1 2016, or Q2 2016 financial results.

In March of 2016, Mr Steve Barber, Executive Chairman and CEO of Oakridge, assumed full, day-to-day operational control of the company. Since then, Mr Barber has totally restructured the company.  He has now finalized a full and complete revamp of the company; from product range and management staff, to accounting controls and financial reporting. These changes have all flowed from Mr Barber now being in direct control of the business.

Mr Barber and the new Oakridge Management Team have a very clear vision and mandate for the company and the business plan. That is: manufacturing smart energy cells,  not batteries; to become the Apple Computer of the battery world,  producing the highest quality products with uber cool product design elements; all while delivering unsurpassed performance.

Oakridge is guided by the auto industry's component based business model.  By utilizing absolute best in world components from all of the leading Japanese suppliers (world #1 in battery technology excellence), coupled with US design and electronic ingenuity, and state-of-the-art automated  assembly techniques, Oakridge will be able to integrate the massive production capacity of their Japanese strategic alliance partners.

This will enable Oakridge to be one of the biggest battery suppliers in the world, with the capability of designing and producing any battery, for any application, and for any market,  especially into the US defense industry space.

In the future, this enormous production capability will be applied to the Thin Film Solid State  battery patents owned by Oakridge, which will truly revolutionize the global  energy cell and battery markets. And these TFSS battery patents will give Oakridge an absolute lock on these markets.

As with any new hi-tech business venture, there will always be bumps in the road; and this was one of those bumps. But, as a direct result of Mr Barber's redesign of the company, his vision, and global contacts with Japan and  the US Department of Defense, Oakridge  can now begin to grow exponentially and move forward onto the world stage as a true global player in the energy cell space.

About Oakridge Global Energy Solutions, Inc.
Oakridge Global Energy Solutions Inc., is a publicly traded company, trading symbol: OGES on the OTCQB with a market capitalization of approximately USD $ 200,000,000, whose primary business is the development, manufacturing and marketing of energy storage products.
