TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - June 17, 2010) - Canadian Oil Recovery & Remediation Enterprises Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:CVR) ("CORRE" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that, following a detailed review of CORRE's five-year Business and Financial Plan by Al-Najah Advanced Technology Co. Ltd. ("NAT"), NAT has confirmed its acceptance of this plan and has exercised its right to convert the full amount of its previously issued $4,250,000 secured convertible debenture (the "NAT Debenture") into common shares of CORRE. As part of the NAT Debenture conversion, NAT will now release to CORRE $2,850,000 of escrowed funds and the full principal amount of the NAT Debenture will convert into 21,250,000 new common shares of CORRE at a price of $0.20 per share. NAT is a private company based in Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia whose focus is on investments in technology and technology-based ventures and companies.

CORRE is also pleased to report the automatic conversion, simultaneous with the NAT Debenture conversion, of its previously issued $750,000 subordinate, secured debenture (the "Subordinate Debenture"), which is held by a director of the Company. The Subordinate Debenture will convert into 3,750,000 new common shares of CORRE at a price of $0.20 per share.

Mr. Alex Gress, Senior Vice-President of CORRE, commented: "We are extremely pleased with the conversion of the debentures and availability of new capital. We would like to thank NAT for their support and confidence in our business plan, management team and board of directors. With very volatile capital markets, CORRE is happy to have in place a long-term and strategic equity financing plan as we focus on securing our first remediation contracts."

In addition to acquiring shares under the NAT Debenture conversion, NAT is also eligible to exercise, at its option, up to 21,250,000 warrants to purchase additional common shares of CORRE at an exercise price of $0.20 per share. Should NAT fully exercise the warrants, NAT would own in aggregate of 42,500,000 CORRE common shares, representing approximately 43% of CORRE's issued and outstanding common shares on a partially-diluted basis. In addition, the holder of the Subordinate Debenture also holds share purchase warrants that are exercisable into an additional 3,750,000 common shares of CORRE at an exercise price of $0.20 per share.

For further details concerning the financing and all related matters and ancillary agreements, please refer to our press releases date June 16, July 16, August 14, October 7, November 17, 2009 and May 17, 2010.
