CORPORATE UPDATE AND PROJECT STATUS AT SOMA SITE




February 14, 2008: Vancouver, British Columbia – MPAC Industries Corporation (the “Company” or “MPAC”) is pleased to provide its shareholders and the investment community of the following up-date concerning the Soma coal refining plant (the “Plant”) on the leased site (the “Leased Site”) located in the City of Soma in the western part of Turkey.

As announced in the Company’s News Release of January 29, 2008, MPAC was forecasting refined coal (“Refined Coal”) production of up to 25,000 tonnes for February 2008. Since that date, a Plant performance issue has been identified resulting in MPAC having to revise this forecast.

During several trials, one of the coal classification screens has been unable to cope with the sustained coal input tonnage required. As the coal crushing and conveyor system was purchased in Turkey by the Company as a “turn-key” operation, the equipment manufacturer has been made aware of this issue and a technician is scheduled to be on-site later this week to make the necessary adjustments and modifications to this aspect of the Plant circuit. Meanwhile, work is continuing on the tailings ponds and product storage areas in anticipation of the commencement of commercial production.

In addition to this, the Company has placed an order for a dewatering system sized to handle the anticipated production tonnage. This additional component to the Plant is scheduled for delivery at the Leased Site by the end of this week.


While work continues on the classification screen issue, Company staff and engineers are fine-tuning other areas of the Plant circuit and making several adjustments that came to light during the pre-commissioning and testing phases. It is important to note that as the Company moves from the conception to “pilot”, and from “testing” to commercial production phases, it is anticipated that there will be start-up challenges that will require revisions to the Plant circuit to attain optimal production capacity. The lessons learned during this early period will be used in planning expansion to this Plant and will be incorporated into the construction of additional plants in the future.

Other things being equal, the production target figure for February 2008 is now anticipated to be in the range of approximately 5,000 to 7,500 tonnes. Production target figures for March and April 2008 will be announced at a later date based upon a review of the performance of the Plant this month.

This news release contains forward-looking statements, which are based on MPAC
Industries’ current internal expectations, estimates, projections, assumptions and
beliefs, which may prove to be incorrect. The forward-looking statements are not
guarantees of future performances and undue reliance should not be placed on
them. Actual results may differ materially as a result of any number of factors and
uncertainties, many of which factors are beyond the Company’s control. MPAC

statements except as required by applicable securities laws.
