OPTI Canada Inc (OPC)

[VanWilder]

A good Summary on why a Buyout makes Sense:

The environment we are currently experiencing in the Economy, bodes
very favorably toward a Buyout / Takeover of Opti Canada.

1. Rush and Grab of all Commodities - OIL, GAS, METALS, TIMBER
2. Rapid Coming Inflation - Fiat Currencies on the Decline World
Wide.
3. Increasing World Wide Demand for OIL.
4. Rising Risk of Instability in Middle East ---- Stability in
Canada.
5. Oil Prices Increasing - Headed back above $100 near term.
6. Corporations Gobbling up Smaller players for Proven Reserves while
the Equity market is Cheap.
7. Chinese Buying Oil Sands companies, both in Full, and Minority
Stakes.
8. Oil Sands production Costs are Low
9. Off Shore Drilling, negative Stigma in Media, BP repercussions.

Opti Specific:
1. Opti Canada has both Proven reserves, and Approval for vast
Expansion
2. Cost to replicate OPTI Canada's Projects is Vastly Higher than
Acquisition Costs.
3. Opti has Technology Specific to Oil Sands Extraction
4. China has discovered a Large OIL Tar field of their Own, need
Experience/Technology
5. Opti Canada's can be bought for a Fraction of the OIL reserve
Value.
6. Opti - Approaching breakeven Production levels
7. Secured Financing to continue operations downstream, minimal risk
of further Dilution.
8. Opti has acknowledged an Outright SALE is an Option.
9. Takeover would likely be Welcomed by Current Opti Sahreholders.

After long analysis I believe Opti will be bought outright for a price
between $3.50-$5.50 in the first or Second Quarter of 2011.

I look forward to hearing other views on the Company moving forward,
and speculation on different valuations on a buyout basis.

There are too many variables falling inline to ignore the Value this
company represents under the current Environment. To overlook the
Value Opti represents Long term to a Bigger player, with Large cash
reserves, is very naive.
