TORONTO, ONTARIO (FRANKFURT: VIN) ("VIPR") is pleased to announce the appointment of geologist and geophysicist Mr. Jonas Mwano as Chief Senior Geological Consultant. Mr. Mwano will apply his extensive mineral exploration expertise and in-depth regional knowledge to lead the exploration and development of VIPR's gold and uranium properties in Tanzania.

Mr. Mwano brings to VIPR Industries deep knowledge of Tanzania's geology and mineral resource potential. A Geologist and Geophysicist with the Ministry of Energy and Minerals' Geological Survey of Tanzania, he has extensive experience in regional geological mapping and exploration particularly in Greenstone belts, as well as airborne geophysical data acquisition and ground geophysical exploration utilizing magnetometer, electromagnetic (TEM), gravity and Induced Polarization (IP) surveying. Mr. Mwano also contributed his expertise to the NDF Project conducted by the Geological Survey of Tanzania and Geological Survey of Finland (GTK) to identify priority areas with high mineral potential.

Mr. Mwano earned his Master of Science degree in Geophysics (M.Sc.) and Bachelor of Science degree from Tanzania's University of Dar es Salaam. He was awarded for his work on Integrated Interpretation of Airborne Geophysical Data and Satellite Images for Geological Mapping of the Kalenge Area, Biharamulo District, North-Western, Tanzania.

Mike Gerstner, President and CEO of VIPR Industries Inc., commented: "We are pleased that Jonas Mwano has chosen to contribute his considerable geological acumen and experience exploring Tanzania's mineral resources for the benefit of VIPR Industries. We believe his expertise will prove to be invaluable as we explore our Singida Gold Property and Itigi Manyoni Uranium Property and evaluate additional acquisitions in the area."

As announced last week, VIPR has completed the acquisition of its Singida Gold Property located directly adjacent to and along strike from Shanta Gold Limited's Singida Project where exploration drilling has identified an indicated resource of 543,000 ounces of gold valued at an estimated $500 million. VIPR has also closed the acquisition of the Itigi Manyoni Uranium Property where airborne radiometric surveys have identified uranium anomalies indicating strong potential for significant uranium mineralization.

The Geological Survey of Tanzania reports that Tanzania has significant potential for new discoveries as many commodities still are highly under-explored. Tanzania features excellent geological databases, good infrastructure, readily available exploration services and an attractive mineral policy.
