Mantra Venture Group Ltd. ('Mantra', OTCBB: MVTG, FSE: 5MV) is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Shawn Kim as the Vice President of International Business Development.
Mr. Kim has nine years experience in the financial industry where he started as a business analyst. After dedicating 3 years to Mackenzie Financial Corporation in Toronto, he moved to AIG in Korea where he successfully implemented a worldwide marketing model and secured new business alliances. In his most recent role, Mr. Kim served as an International Business Consultant with the District of North Vancouver. Mr. Kim graduated from the University of Western Ontario in 1996 with a BA in Administrative and Commercial Studies.

"Mr. Kim's wealth of experience in international business and finance will be of great use to Mantra, and we are very fortunate that he has decided to join our team."
Mr. Kim will begin work at Mantra's head office in Vancouver immediately, where he will be taking a leadership role in solidifying the Definitive Partnership Agreement with Bluebird Co. Ltd.
