Hedger Capital Inc. ("Hedger") (TSX VENTURE:HEC.P), a Vancouver-based Capital Pool Company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a letter of intent (the "LOI") dated May 14, 2009 with Oretech Resources Inc. ("Oretech" or the "Company"), a Vancouver-based private company incorporated under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act, to purchase all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Oretech or otherwise complete a business combination with Oretech (the "Acquisition"). The Acquisition, if completed, will constitute Hedger's "Qualifying Transaction" under the policies of the Exchange. The Acquisition is an arm's length transaction and it is not anticipated that shareholder approval of the Acquisition will be required by the Exchange. Trading of Hedger's shares on the Exchange has been halted and will remain halted until the Exchange approves the recommencement of trading. Oretech has entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the "Condor LOI") with Condor Resources Inc. ("Condor") (TSXV: CN), an Exchange-listed company, which sets out the proposed terms of an option agreement pursuant to which Oretech may acquire up to a 70% interest in Condor's Becker gold property, located in southern Chile. Oretech and Condor are proceeding with the negotiation of a binding option agreement containing the terms of the Condor LOI and the Condor LOI contains a binding exclusivity provision in effect until the execution of such agreement. It is a condition of the closing of the Acquisition that Oretech enter into a binding option agreement with Condor in respect of the Becker property substantially on the terms of the Condor LOI. Share Exchange Under the terms of the LOI, Hedger will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Oretech ("Oretech Shares") in exchange for the issuance of common shares of Hedger ("Hedger Shares") on the basis of one Hedger Share for each Oretech Share outstanding. There are currently 7,483,33 Oretech Shares issued and outstanding and, pursuant to the terms of the LOI, up to 2,400,000 additional Oretech Shares will be issued by way of a private placement which will take place prior to the closing of the Acquisition. This will result in Hedger issuing an aggregate of 9,883,333 Hedger Shares to acquire Oretech. In addition, subject to Exchange approval, Hedger will issue 100,000 Hedger Shares to an arm's length party to Hedger and Oretech as a finder's fee in respect of the Acquisition . Upon completion of the Acquisition, Oretech will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hedger. Hedger is expected to change its name in conjunction with the Acquisition to such name as may be acceptable to applicable regulatory authorities. Assuming completion of the Acquisition, Hedger expects that it will be a Tier 2 Mining Issuer. Concurrently with the execution of the LOI, Oretech is advancing Hedger a non-interest bearing unsecured bridge loan in the amount of $20,000 (the "Bridge Loan"). Upon the closing of the Acquisition or the termination of the Acquisition, the Bridge Loan will be converted into 400,000 Hedger Shares. There are currently 3,203,000 Hedger Shares issued and outstanding, as well as incentive stock options of Hedger exercisable into an additional 320,000 Hedger Shares. Upon completion of the Acquisition and the conversion of the Bridge Loan, and not including those securities to be issued in the Hedger Private Placement as defined and discussed below, there are expected to be 13,586,333 Hedger Shares issued and outstanding. Upon completion of the Acquisition, all Hedger Shares issued to holders of Oretech Shares upon completion of the Acquisition may be subject to resale restrictions under applicable securities laws and the policies of the Exchange. In addition, all Hedger Shares held by Principals of Hedger (as such term is defined in the policies of the Exchange) may be subject to escrow restrictions in accordance with the policies of the Exchange. The new Principals of Hedger will include former shareholders of Oretech. Proposed Private Placement As a condition of the Acquisition, Hedger is required to complete, concurrently with the closing of the Acquisition, an equity private placement (the "Hedger Private Placement") to raise aggregate gross proceeds sufficient to meet the Exchange's minimum listing requirements upon the closing of the Acquisition. The number, type and price of the securities to be issued in the Hedger Private Placement will be determined by Hedger and Oretech in the context of market conditions and the minimum listing requirements. The proceeds of the Hedger Private Placement will be used to fund the costs associated with completing the Acquisition, the initial work program on the Becker gold property and for general working capital purposes. Stock Options Subject to the rules, policies and approval of the Exchange, it is contemplated that concurrently with the completion of the Acquisition, Hedger will issue additional stock options to directors, officers, employees and consultants of Hedger as approved by Oretech and in accordance with Hedger's 10% rolling stock option plan. The options will have an exercise price equal to the price of the securities issued in the Hedger Private Placement and will be exercisable over a period of five years from the completion of the Acquisition. Conditions Precedent The parties' obligations to complete the Acquisition are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions precedent including: (a) all necessary approvals of the Exchange and all other regulatory authorities and third parties to the Acquisition and the Hedger Private Placement being obtained; (b) the completion of the Hedger Private Placement; (c) Oretech having entered into a binding option agreement with Condor substantially on the terms of the Condor LOI; and (d) the parties being satisfied with the results of their respective due diligence reviews in connection with the Acquisition.

In 1995 Arauco completed a float sampling and trenching program on the Becker gold property which discovered a zone measuring some 1500 by 1200 metres within which occurs a significant number of quartz fragments and boulders up to four metres in diameter. Follow-up work encountered six quartz veins with strike lengths up to 350 metres and widths varying from 0.5 to 4 metres.
