Mainstream Canada depopulates site

Reference is made to the stock exchange notice dated 31July 2012 with regards to detection of the IHN (Infectious Haematopoietic Necrosis) virus at the Millar Channel site in Mainstream Canada. Millar Channel is located north of Tofino and contains small fish of about 0.4 kg. The current book value of the biomass is approximately CAD 4.5 mill. The financial impact depends on any compensation from the company's insurance or the Canadian Authorities that has required the depopulation.

Following the depopulation, Mainstream Canada will have no other populated sites in this area.
