NEWS RELEASE


Vancouver, British Columbia: MPAC Industries Corporation (“MPAC” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide its shareholders and the investment community with a corporate update concerning the coal refining pilot plant (the “Pilot Plant”) located in the City of Soma in Turkey.

NEW SCREENS

The Company is pleased to advise that in testing done on site, the new specially designed screens responded as anticipated and equally importantly, as promised by the manufacturer. Consequently, MPAC considers the screening issues to have now been resolved.

CANADIAN CONTRACTOR

The Company’s Canadian Contractor has been in Turkey since late October of 2008 overseeing the improvements to the Pilot Plant and participating in the go forward production redesign plans.

EXISTING PLANT CIRCUIT AND REDESIGN PLANS

The Company continues to experience significant difficulties with the existing coal crushing component of the Pilot Plant circuit that is the subject of litigation launched by the Company against the Turkish manufacturer, Gayret Makina, of Ankara. Based on the advice of legal counsel, the Company remains very optimistic that the Turkish judicial system will ultimately hold in favour of the Company for full reimbursement of the US$350,000.00 plus interest and damages related to lost business opportunities.

In the interim, with a view to achieving even limited refined coal production and to mitigate our situation, the Company has gone to extraordinary lengths in an effort to make some use out of the Gayret Makina crushing, conveyor and screening circuit.

However, despite repeated attempts to get crushed coal to flow through the Pilot Plant, MPAC has been unsuccessful due to the inability of the turnkey operation to function as promised and warranted.

The solution to the crushing problem experienced at the Pilot Plant is by way of replacing the jaw crushing system (supplied by Gayret Makina) with a milling system. The Company has investigated this solution through several engineers and has also consulted reputable manufacturers of such mills. However, up until two months ago, the pricing for a suitable mill was in the region of US$500,000 and delivery dates were four to six months from the date of placing an order.

However, due to the recent global economic downturn, many businesses have revisited their expansion programs. Consequently, our Turkish Agent has been able to locate in Turkey, on a favourable leasing basis, a mill to crush the coal as well as ancillary equipment to support the crushing components required for the refining of the coal. The Company has been negotiating the acquisition of such a mill that would entail a minimum outlay of up-front capital, as well as a guarantee that the mill will function as required. MPAC is in a position, today, to enter into such an agreement for a delivery date of a few days from signing the agreement. Should the mill not function as required, the supplier would remove the equipment from the Plant at its own cost and without any further obligation on the part of MPAC with respect to the lease or lease-to-purchase arrangement entered into.

As our shareholders and the investment community are aware, this is the worst economic downturn since the 1930s and the Company, like everyone else, is challenged to raise funds in such a financial market.

Despite the present financial crisis, the Company has been able to attract investors but requires more time to complete the $75,000 Private Placement announced on October 14, 2008. Consequently, the Private Placement has been extended under the same terms and conditions previously announced.

Once adequate funds have been raised to ensure that the cost of the installation of available mill crushing equipment is achieved, the Company will be in a position to finalize the agreement with the supplier of the mill and proceed to the anticipated production.

It is important to note that the remaining issue is one that is easily resolved by funding – there is no need to prove the efficacy of the refining concept, locate a ready market for the refined coal or address a change in the selling price of the refined product. The only remaining challenge is to obtain enough funds to achieve revenue generation and then take the next steps in the Company’s projected growth.

These are difficult times but the Company remains steadfast in its commitment to the shareholders and to Turkey to get this Pilot Plant producing refined coal and generating revenue.

As always, the Company both recognizes and thanks it’s shareholders for their ongoing support.
