CIC MAKES ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT IN BIORIGINAL FOOD & SCIENCE CORP.

Released on January 22, 1999

Deputy Premier and Crown Investments Corporation (CIC) Minister Dwain

Lingenfelter said today that CIC is pleased to join with other

investors to help finance the continued growth of Bioriginal Food and

Science Corporation of Saskatoon.



CIC will invest $1.5 million in preferred shares in the company, to

help expand its facility in Saskatoon and its oilseed crushing plant

in Asquith. Bioriginal manufactures and sells processed

agricultural/organic products for use in health foods, nutritional

supplements, body care preparations, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and

pet foods. CIC's current investment is $250,000.



"Bioriginal is one of the many vital, growing companies in the

nutraceutical industry in Saskatchewan," Lingenfelter said. "It has a

proven track record and we are confident that it will continue to be

successful.



"Our additional investment is consistent with CIC's and the

government's strategies to support companies that create value-added

agricultural products. The company is also important to Saskatoon and

Asquith, providing 60 high-quality jobs and spending thousands of

dollars a year on local goods and services. We expect all of this to

increase as a result of the company's expansion."



"Bioriginal is pleased and excited by CIC's decision to increase

its participation," said Rick Kulow, president of Bioriginal.

"The increased resources will allow us to extend our value-added

processing in Saskatchewan into new areas such as standardized

herbal extracts."



Kulow added that plans for the expansion are on the drawing board

and construction is to begin this summer, with everything

expected to be in full operation by early 2000.
