CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Aug. 18, 2011) -

(NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA)

Labrador Technologies Inc. ("LTI" or "Labrador") (TSX VENTURE:LTX) is pleased to announce a non-brokered private placement of up to 20,000,000 units of Labrador ("Units"), at a price of $0.05 per Unit, for gross proceeds of up to $1,000,000 (the "Offering"). Each Unit will consist of one (1) common share in the capital of LTI ("Common Share"), and one (1) common share purchase warrant ("Warrant"), with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one (1) common share in the capital of the Corporation (a "Warrant Share") at a price of $0.10 per Warrant Share for a period of three (3) years following the closing of the Offering.

The proceeds of the Offering will be used for expanding eTriever's market launch into all sectors of the Oil & Gas industry, for increasing and broadening eTriever R&D, for further enhancing the Labrador® Tools, and for general working capital. This eTriever® deployment phase will be bolstered by LTI's logical growth and extension with its partners into eTriever accessing data from proprietary databases, a stronghold of Labrador expertise powered by the Labrador® Tools.

The Offering is subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals. The securities issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a four (4) month hold period from the date of the closing of the Offering. The Offering is being undertaken on a non-brokered basis; however, LTI may pay a cash finders' fee of up to ten percent (10%) on the gross proceeds raised pursuant to the Offering and issue finders' warrants ("Finders' Warrants") equal to ten percent (10%) of the number of Units issued pursuant to the Offering to eligible persons in accordance with applicable laws. Each Finders Warrant will be exercisable into one (1) Common Share at a price of $0.10 for a period of three (3) years following the closing of the Offering.
