TORONTO, ONTARIO, Feb 08, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX News Network) --
Canadian Oil Recovery and Remediation Enterprises Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: CVR)(OTCQX: CRVYF) ("CORRE" or the "Company") announces that it has selected Harris Brown & Partners Limited to act as lead agent to arrange an equity financing through a private placement of up to $3.5 million of common shares of the Company. Pricing will be determined in the context of the market. The offering will be subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and other customary conditions. CORRE will continue to keep its shareholders and the market updated accordingly on this and other developments.

The net proceeds from the private placement will be used to directly fund additional capital assets required as part of CORRE's 2011 anticipated contract execution pipeline, strategic operating partnerships and working capital. CORRE, through its SAR-CORRE MENA Ltd. ("SCM") operating partnership, is one of a few global operating companies that are pre-approved service providers and general contractors to the Kuwait Oil Company ("KOC") in three distinct services-soil remediation (which includes oil recovery), waste management and the treatment of drill cuttings. KOC is expected to issue its first set of tenders for approximately $200 million of soil remediation contracts within the next 3-4 weeks.

These tenders will be followed later this year by even larger soil remediation and oil recovery contracts for the clean-up of the Kuwait Oil Lakes left by Saddam Hussein's army in 1991. According to a very recent article in Upstream, a leading international oil and gas publication that featured CORRE and the SCM partnership as having a head start for these contracts by building and operating the ARES I soil washing and oil recovery facility in Kuwait, these contracts "will involve the biggest clean-up operation in the world to put right the damage caused when retreating Iraqi troops torched Kuwait's oilfields." The article notes that the massive clean-up of the Kuwait Oil Lakes would cost about $3.5 billion, funded out of the United Nations war reparation funds, and entails decades of work.
