<DIV><BR>VICTORIA, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA (June 2, 2010) &#8211;
Carmanah<BR>Technologies Corporation, through its marine signalling
partnership,<BR>Carmanah/Sabik, has received four Standing Offers from the
Canadian<BR>Coast Guard (CCG) to supply a range of solar-powered LED marine
lanterns<BR>for aids-to-navigation (AtoN) lighting on Canadian waterways. The
offers<BR>are for a one-year period with an optional one-year extension.
Revenue<BR>in the first year from the four Standing Offers is anticipated to be
in<BR>excess of $1.2 million (CAD).<BR><BR>A Request for Standing Offer issued
by the CCG earlier this year for<BR>solar LED aids-to-navigation (AtoN) lighting
sought proposals to supply<BR>1.5, two, three and four nautical mile lanterns
for use on navigational<BR>buoys and other fixed and floating navigation aids.
Carmanah/Sabik<BR>products were selected to fulfill the standing orders in all
four<BR>categories. Until May of 2011, and for an additional year if
the<BR>extension option is exercised, authorized CCG representatives
will<BR>purchase Carmanah/Sabik&#8217;s M650 solar LED marine lantern for 1.5 and
two<BR>nautical mile applications, the Carmanah/Sabik M704-5 for three
nautical<BR>mile applications (a product already in use by the CCG), and
the<BR>Carmanah/Sabik&#8217;s M708 for four nautical mile applications.
By<BR>authorizing its representatives to make orders as required, the CCG
has<BR>displayed its confidence in the quality and performance
of<BR>Carmanah/Sabik lanterns.<BR><BR>&#8220;Over a decade ago, Carmanah developed the
very first solar LED lantern<BR>with the help of the Coast Guard and we&#8217;ve
continued to work with<BR>maritime authorities worldwide to develop
best-in-class, self-contained<BR>solar LED lights that meet the technical
specifications and quality<BR>standards of the marine industry,&#8221; said Ted
Lattimore, Carmanah CEO.<BR>&#8220;The new Carmanah/Sabik partnership further
strengthens our position in<BR>this highly technical market and expands our
ability to provide the<BR>performance, reliability and functionality that
customers such as CCG<BR>are looking for.&#8221; <BR><BR>Carmanah is best known within
the maritime community for its<BR>high-performance short-range solar LED
aids-to-navigation lighting. A<BR>strategic partnership with Finland-based
marine lighting pioneer Sabik<BR>Oy, announced in March of 2010, will allow both
companies to deliver a<BR>complete range of aids-to-navigation lighting, from
one to 18 nautical<BR>miles, to their respective global customer bases under
the<BR>Carmanah/Sabik brand.<BR><BR>For more information, visit <A
