OPEL Technologies Inc. (TSX VENTURE:OPL)(OTCQX:OPELF) ("OPEL" or "the Company"),
a leading global supplier of solar tracker systems, other solar related products
and a semiconductor device and process developer, announces that today the
common shares of OPEL Technologies will begin trading in the United States on
the OTCQX International under the symbol "OPELF". OPEL sees a significant
benefit to being traded on the OTCQX. The Company gains greater exposure and
liquidity in the United States without the regulatory expense of traditional
U.S. listings.  


"It has been a near-term strategy of the Company to increase the liquidity of
our shares, and we exhibited our commitment to that goal by upgrading to the top
tier of the OTC market. Achieving our membership on the OTCQX provides OPEL
significant accessibility to high liquidity institutional and retail investors
in the United States," said Leon M. Pierhal, CEO of OPEL Technologies Inc.
Pierhal added, "The U.S. is the world leader in clean energy and semiconductor
investing, and we look forward to sharing OPEL's growth story and opportunities
with the OTCQX investor base which will benefit all shareholders." 


Pierce Atwood, LLP will serve as OPEL's Principal American Liaison ("PAL")
responsible for providing guidance on OTCQX requirements and U.S. securities
law. OPEL common shares will continue to trade in Canada on the TSX Venture
Exchange under the "OPL" symbol. The Company's Canadian SEDAR public disclosures
are also directly available to U.S. investors and brokers at otcmarkets.com.
