  A novel mechanism of H^0 and strangelet production in hadronic interactions
within the Gribov-Regge approach is presented. In contrast to traditional
distillation approaches, here the production of multiple (strange) quark bags
does not require large baryon densities or a QGP. The production cross section
increases with center of mass energy. Rapidity and transverse momentum
distributions of the H^0 are predicted for pp collisions at E_lab = 160 AGeV
(SPS) and \sqrt s = 200 AGeV (RHIC). The predicted total H^0 multiplicities are
of order of the Omega-baryon yield and can be accessed by the NA49 and the STAR
experiments.
