News Release: Download PDF version MPAC INDUSTRIES CORP. Suite 508 - 4438 West 10 th Avenue Vancouver, B.C. V6R 4R8 April 18, 2006 SYMBOL: “MPN” on TSX-V CORPORATE UPDATE Vancouver, BC, April 18th, 2006: MPAC Industries Corp. (the “Company” or “MPAC”) is pleased to provide the following corporate update of its activities. The Company is expecting to take delivery of its coal upgrading plant in the coming weeks. Upon taking delivery, MPAC will arrange to have a large sample of the coal from the Coal Mine tested in Vancouver to enable the manufacturer to carry out any fine adjustments to the plant that may be necessary prior to its shipment to Turkey. As previously announced in its News Release of January 17th, 2006, MPAC had retained consultants to apply for the various tax advantages available to the Company in Turkey. Such applications have been submitted on behalf of the Company and MPAC is expecting to receive these concessions shortly. IIn light of the escalating cost of imported energy into Turkey (oil, natural gas and coal), the Company has been contacted by several local Turkish coal mines as well as the Department of Energy to assist them in mobilizing the country’s low-grade coal reserves using MPAC’s upgrading and refining processes. The Company has been following up on these various enquiries and assessing the same as potential additional future projects for MPAC. Earlier this month, the Company entered into Memorandums of Understanding (the “MOUs”) with four Turkish coal mines to refine their coal using the Company’s coal upgrading and refining process. The MOUs are contingent upon MPAC being satisfied with various subject conditions including, but not limiting to, testing of the respective coal samples using the Company’s coal upgrading and refining process. The terms and conditions of these MOUs are substantially in line with the terms and conditions of the previously announced Definitive Agreement with Ibrice. In addition to the above MOUs, the Company is also following up on other coal upgrading and refining opportunities to ensure that MPAC is able to secure choice coal mines upon favorable terms for its future expansion into Turkey. The Company’s year-end being December 31st, the MPAC’s Annual General Meeting date has been set for June 22, 2006, to be held in Vancouver, BC.
