Additional Machines Could Soon Enter Production

Red Bank, NJ - (August 9, 2011) -Natcore Technology Inc. (TSX-V: NXT; NTCXF.PK) has received delivery of its first intelligent processing station that uses an exclusive liquid phase deposition (LPD) process to grow antireflective (AR) coatings on silicon wafers. These wafers will be central components of solar cells.
