The issuance of all such securities to Mr. Swisher and Mr. Spilak is subject to the receipt of all required regulatory, shareholder and TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXVE") approvals.

The Board of Directors of the Company has approved amendments to its stock option plan to provide for a fixed number of options available to be granted under the plan equal to 20% of the then issued and outstanding common shares after the completion of the private placement to Mr. Swisher and Mr. Spilak noted above. The amended stock option plan shall be in effect after such private placement (the "Effective Date"); however the plan is also subject to shareholder approval and will be put before the shareholders for consideration at the next annual meeting of the Company.

In addition, the Company is pleased to announce that Nabil Kassam has been appointed as a director. Mr. Kassam is Managing Director of Zynik Capital Corporation a Vancouver, Canada based private equity firm. Contemporaneously with his appointment as a director, Mr. Kassam has been retained on a consultancy basis and granted 500,000 options to purchase common shares of the Company at a price of $0.10 per share for a period of 10 years from the date of grant, subject to all required regulatory and stock exchange approvals to assist the Company with its expansion plans.

In addition to the option grants above, the Corporation has granted 175,000 options to a director of the Company at a price of $0.10 per share for a period of 10 years from the date of grant, subject to all required regulatory, stock exchange and shareholder approvals. All grants of stock options described in this press release will be effective on the Effective Date and shall be subject to the receipt of required shareholder, regulatory and TSXVE approvals.

In addition, the Company is pleased to announce that it will amend its currently issued and outstanding stock options to increase the maximum term of all such existing outstanding stock options to a total of 10 years from the date of grant from the current 5 years, subject to the receipt of the required approvals by the shareholders and the TSX Venture Exchange.

"I am pleased to be expanding my role from Chairman to include the position of Chief Executive Officer. With the tremendous success that Brian and the team have achieved over the past two years, I hope only to complement their efforts. Brian remains President and will continue to have full authority on running day to day operations, customer relations and product development. My focus will be on long term business expansion opportunities and improving shareholder value. We believe the Company's current share price is undervalued by the marketplace when looking at several metrics of the business that I hope to highlight in the coming months and quarters. Additionally, the Board has encouraged management to investigate business expansion opportunities, including the potential acquisition of related businesses. We believe the pursuit of both of these objectives will provide our existing and future customers with enhanced services and product offerings", said Mr. Swisher.

Brian Spilak added, "I look forward to having Willie on the Texada team assisting me in building a world class company and improving shareholder values. Working with both Willie and Nabil in their new capacities will be exciting and provide the Company, its employees and customers a strong value proposition. The dedicated Texada team will continue to focus on providing value based products and services to our industry leading customer base."
