SEATTLE, WA, Feb. 19 - Mantra Venture Group Ltd. (OTCBB: MVTG, FSE: 5MV) is scheduled to continue positioning itself at the forefront of pioneering sustainability initiatives through its attendance at the 10th Annual Vancouver Conference 2009 held by the Global Chinese Financial Forum (GCFF). The forum, to be held on February 22nd in Vancouver, Canada, will host over 25 leading sustainability industry participants and over 900 Chinese-speaking attendees who represent the fastest growing investing community in North America. Also in attendance will be financial service providers, public and private companies, and various financial professionals, making the Vancouver Conference 2009 a great networking opportunity.

Joey Jung, Research Engineer with Kemetco Research Inc., will be representing Mantra and its electro-reduction of carbon (ERC) Technology as a keynote speaker for the event. In addition, Larry Kristof, President and CEO of Mantra, will be on-site to meet with potential investors and to further explain the merits of Mantra's ERC technology.

Mr. Kristof notes: "Mantra has experienced accelerated development and an unprecedented amount of interest in our ERC technology during the last quarter.. This has been a very exciting time for our team, and we look forward to sharing this opportunity with the investing community at the upcoming GCFF conference. Given the many challenges faced by global financial markets today, reputable investor forums such as GCFF are vital in building investor confidence and in providing strategic insight on how to thrive during such turbulent economic times."

"Mantra has a proven chemical process which is a part of the solution to one of the large environmental problems plaguing our planet: carbon dioxide," commented John Russell, head of Mantra's Scientific Advisory Board. "We understand that in order for sustainability to be attractive to companies, it needs to be commercially useful. ERC is. It really could be a breakthrough in the way our planet handles its carbon dioxide pollution."

About ERC:

The ERC process, defined as the Electrochemical Reduction of Carbon Dioxide, combines captured carbon dioxide with water to produce high value materials, such as formic acid and formate salts, which are conventionally obtained from the thermochemical processing of Fossil Fuels. However, ERC has an advantage over the established thermochemical methods for converting carbon dioxide to liquid fuels.

While thermochemical reactions must be driven at relatively high temperatures that are normally obtained by burning fossil fuels, ERC operates at near ambient conditions and is driven by electric energy that can be taken from an electric power grid supplied by hydro, wind, solar or nuclear energy.
