ENTREC Corporation (TSX VENTURE:ENT) ("ENTREC") announced today that it has
closed a new $240 million senior secured asset-based credit facility (the "ABL
Facility") with a syndicate of lenders led by Wells Fargo Capital Finance
Corporation Canada. The syndicate of lenders also includes The Bank of Nova
Scotia, Canadian Western Bank, The Toronto-Dominion Bank, and National Bank of
Canada. The ABL Facility replaces ENTREC's previous senior debt facilities and
will be used to fund future capital expenditures and business acquisitions and
for general corporate purposes.


"We are very pleased to enter into this strategic relationship with Wells Fargo,
one of the world's leading asset-based lenders, and build on our existing strong
relationships with our other banking partners to put this ABL Facility in
place," said Jason Vandenberg, ENTREC's Chief Financial Officer. "This facility
is covenant light with a borrowing base that increases as our business grows
making the ABL Facility a perfect fit with our business. The customized
financing provided by Wells Fargo demonstrates the strong value in our equipment
fleet and will provide us with significant financial flexibility to continue to
execute our growth strategies."


The ABL Facility has a five year term and requires payments of interest only.
Amounts borrowed bear interest, at ENTREC's option, at bank prime or bankers'
acceptance rates, plus a credit spread based on a sliding scale.


The amount available under the ABL Facility is calculated monthly based upon a
specified percentage of eligible equipment and trade accounts receivable, less
applicable reserves. ENTREC currently has excess borrowing capacity of
approximately $69 million available for use. Total borrowing capacity will
increase further as ENTREC acquires additional property, plant and equipment
secured under the ABL Facility.


The ABL Facility is subject to compliance with springing financial covenants.
