TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - March 3, 2014) -

NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR FOR DISTRIBUTION BY ANY UNITED STATES NEWS DISTRIBUTION

Quinsam Capital Corporation (CSE:QCA)(CNSX:QCA) ("Quinsam" or the "Company") today announced the completion of several recent investments.

Quinsam participated in the recent new issue by TransGaming Inc. ("TransGaming"). Roger Dent said that "I have been an investor in TransGaming in the past and I have followed the company's progress for many years. While I have not always chosen to be a holder of TransGaming shares, the recent new issue was in my opinion a particularly good time for Qunisam to make an investment."

We started to build a position in Cematrix Corporation ("Cematrix") during late 2013 when the stock seemed to be suffering from typical small cap year-end selling pressure. We recently completed the purchase of our position. Cematrix is a manufacturer and supplier of technologically advanced cellular concrete products with applications in a variety of markets, including oil and gas construction and infrastructure construction. Cellular concrete provides a cost and labour saving solution for various construction applications. Applications for cellular concrete include tunnel grouting; bridge abutment and retaining wall backfill; insulation of shallow utilities, roads and runways; insulation and/or structural foundations for tank bases and facilities; and as a floating base over weak and unstable or seismic prone soils, for roads and other types of infrastructure.

We added a stake in In-Touch Survey Systems Ltd. ("In-Touch"). In-Touch develops managed mobile software technology and services for clients that need mobile, real-time information about customer leads, customer feedback, operational compliance, employee feedback and new product analysis. In-Touch has developed comprehensive software platforms including In-Touch Apps, EventMatrix and Unified Insights that provide for the rapid development of data collection programs including mystery shopping programs, mobile forms creations and real-time online reporting.

The Company bought a small position in Atico Mining Corporation ("Atico"). While we are not focused on the resource sector, we saw an opportunity in Atico to obtain an unrecognized new producer just as it was starting to get some market attention. While we have only had the position a few weeks, we are already up about 20% on this purchase.

Performance Update

Quinsam would also like to take this opportunity to update investors on the Company's recent investment performance.

As at the end of January 2014, the unaudited total value of the Quinsam's cash and equity investments was approximately $913,000. During the month of February, the value of these investments grew to approximately $982,000.

Roger Dent stated, "We are pleased with our overall investment performance to date. In February, important contributors to performance included Atico, Cematrix and Enterprise Group, Inc. The small cap hangover from 2008 finally seems to be abating and there appears to be growing overall appetite for small cap investments. At the same time, we continue to find many companies which we believe are undervalued in the market."

Update on Private Placement

Quinsam recently announced that it will proceed with a best efforts non-brokered private placement financing of up to 50 million common shares of Quinsam at a price of $0.10 per share for gross proceeds of up to $5,000,000 ("the Offering"). The proceeds of the Offering will be used for investment activities and working capital purposes.

In connection with this placement, Quinsam may pay an 8% cash finder's fee to certain eligible arm's length finders. The Offering is subject to certain conditions, including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals, including the approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE"). There can be no assurance that the private placement will be completed as proposed.

The CEO of Quinsam, Roger Dent, has indicated his intention to participate as a buyer in the Offering.

The company expects to close funds in the private placement in about 10 days.
