Winalta Inc. Announces New Revolving Term Facility

Winalta Inc. is pleased to announce that, effective January 24, 2012, it has entered into a new $15 million revolving, interest only, term facility with Alberta Treasury Branches (ATB). The new facility replaces Winalta's $15 million non-revolving term facility. There has been no change in the interest rate for the new facility which remains at prime + 3% per annum.  Winalta has made no changes to its revolving operating facility, which has a limit of $3.0 million, all of which is available and $nil is drawn.

Through 2011, Winalta continued to add to its rental fleet with cash from operations. The Company's new credit facility, which does not require principal payments, will increase 2012 cash flow allowing for accelerated growth of the Company's rental fleet. Demand for the Company's Wellsites and Dedicated Geologist Lab Units outstripped supply through 2011 and these two types of units will comprise the majority of Winalta's 2012 build program. Winalta has secured line space with two manufacturers for increased production of Wellsites and Dedicated Geologist Lab Units in 2012.

Winalta Inc., operating under the trade name, Winalta Oilfield Rentals, is an oilfield service provider that specializes in portable industrial rental accommodations, remote offices and Dedicated Geo Labs; servicing the Western Canadian oil and gas Industry.

Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
