OPEL Technologies Inc. (TSX VENTURE:OPL)(OTCQX:OPELF) ("OPEL" or "the Company")
announces the resignation of Patricia V. Agudow, Vice President, Administration,
Public & Government Relations.


"Following the successful completion of OPEL's Solar Asset sale, the Company can
now focus on its emerging Planar Optoelectronic Technology (POET) platform. In
light of this, OPEL has accepted Pat's resignation. She has been a highly
esteemed member of the Company's executive team with responsibility for investor
relations. We would also like to thank her for her many contributions since
joining the Company in 2008. Most recently, Pat's work has been an important
factor in OPEL's ability to complete the asset sale of OPEL Solar which allows
OPEL's full attention to be focused on the development of the POET platform,"
said Lee M. Pierhal, OPEL's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We wish Pat
every success in her future endeavors as she pursues new professional
opportunities," concluded Mr. Pierhal.


OPEL also announces that it has retained Grayling Communications Limited
("Grayling"), a leading international strategic communications advisory firm, to
be its North American investor relations counsel. OPEL Executive Director Peter
Copetti commented, "We look forward to working with the Grayling team in
supporting and strengthening OPEL's financial community communications
activities. Grayling's track record of assisting successful financial
communications programs directly supports the overall execution and evolution of
our strategy as OPEL develops its Planar Optoelectronics Technology."


Erik Knettel, Senior Managing Director at Grayling New York, stated, "We are
delighted to have been chosen as investor relations counsel by OPEL Technologies
at this exciting juncture in its corporate history. OPEL's investment in IP and
future development of semi-conductor applications utilizing low wattage planar
optoelectronic technology has the potential to be utilized in next generation
micro processing applications."

focused in the areas of investor relations, public relations, government
relations, and events consultancy with specialist services including CSR,
environment and sustainability and digital. Grayling has over 1,000 staff in 70
offices in more than 40 countries across the United States, Western and Eastern
Europe, Africa and Asia Pacific.


By enabling increased speed, density, reliability, power efficiency, and much
lower bill-of-materials and assembly costs, OPEL's POET platform provides a new
technology direction and opportunity for the semiconductor industry. POET will

silicon-based circuits, and will change the future development roadmaps of a
broad range of semiconductor applications including mobile devices, computer
servers, storage arrays, imaging equipment, networking equipment, transportation
systems, and test and measurement instruments.


Grayling will be providing the investor relations services starting immediately
and services continue for one year or until either party notifies the other of
termination of the agreement with 60 days notice. Grayling will be paid $5,500
per month plus out-of-pocket expenses as required. Additional services will be
billed at Grayling's going rate. Grayling is completely at arm's length to the
