Innovente Announces Temporary Layoffs

Innovente Inc. (TSX VENTURE:IGE) ("Innovente" or the "Corporation") announces
the temporary layoff of its employees working in the operations of the

period. In addition, Innovente will proceed in the coming days with the

believes they are essential in the current context and in the best interest of
the Corporation.
