Nanotech Sciences Corp. Announces Qualifying Transaction

  Nanotech Sciences Corp. ("Nanotech") (TSX VENTURE: NAN.P) is pleased to announce that it entered into an agreement with Courtland Capital Corp. ("Courtland") on May 8, 2009 (the "Agreement"), in respect of a proposed "qualifying transaction" for the purposes of the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange").

Under the Agreement it is proposed that Nanotech, a capital pool company listed on the Exchange, will subscribe for a minimum of 3,000,000 units (the "Units") of Courtland at a price of $0.10 per Unit or $300,000 in the aggregate (the "Proposed Transaction"). Each Unit shall consist of one common share in the capital of Courtland (a "Common Share") and three quarters (3/4) of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant a "Warrant") of Courtland. Each Warrant shall entitle the holder to acquire one additional Common Share at an exercise price of $0.20 per Common Share, at any time on or before the close of business on the date that is two years from the closing date of the Proposed Transaction.

Nanotech has also agreed, under the terms of the Agreement, to advance $25,000 (the "Advance") to Courtland to cover transactional expenses pending completion of the Proposed Transaction. The Advance is repayable under certain circumstances if the Proposed Transaction is not completed.

Following closing of the Proposed Transaction, Nanotech intends to delist from the Exchange, commence winding up proceedings, and distribute the Units to its shareholders on a pro rata basis. Units of Courtland distributed to current holders of escrowed shares of Nanotech will be subject to the same escrow provisions as their current shares of Nanotech.
