Montreal, March 1, 2010--Perlite Canada inc. (the "Company") announces hereby the results for the year ended October 31, 2009.

The main event occurred during the fiscal year 2009 is the acquisition of the perlite and vermiculite processing plant located in Lachine, Quebec, (the "Lachine Plant") on November 14, 2008 owned by Normiska Corporation.

More particularly, the Company's sales totalled $6,810,413 for the fiscal year 2009 compare to $3,509,360 for the fiscal year 2008, representing an increase of approximately 94%.

However, the Company posted a net loss of $432,736 during fiscal year 2009 compared to a net loss of $329,345 for fiscal year 2008. During the fiscal year 2010, the management anticipates to concentrate on rationalization of its operations and maximization of the synergies generated by the acquisition of Lachine Plant.
