Excellium Inc. (TSX VENTURE:XLM) (the "Corporation" or "Excellium"), a Tier II
issuer listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"), announces that it
has completed a secured loan transaction with General Financial Corporation Ltd.
("GFC"), Excellium's controlling shareholder, and Westminster Care and
Maintenance Trust Fund ("Westminster"), an arm's length lender. Under the terms
of the arrangement, Westminster has made available a secured loan facility of up
to $1,000,000 to GFC (the "GFC Loan"), and GFC has agreed to use such funds
solely for the purpose of providing a secured loan to Excellium (the "Excellium
Loan") to finance its operations. 


Under the terms of the Excellium Loan, which mirror the principal terms of the
GFC Loan, GFC will lend to the Corporation an aggregate amount of up to
$1,000,000, disbursable in two equal tranches of $500,000. The first $500,000
tranche was drawn by Excellium at closing, and a second tranche of $500,000 will
be available to Excellium subject to certain conditions. The interest rate on
any outstanding principal amount under the Excellium Loan is 12% per annum,
calculated monthly, payable in arrears commencing March 31, 2013 and thereafter
on the last day of each quarter until such time as the principal has been paid
in full. The principal amount of the initial tranche of the Excellium Loan is
due and payable in full on the 5th anniversary of its disbursement date.
Excellium will pay any amount owing to GFC under the Excellium Loan directly to
Westminster as payment of the amounts owing by GFC to Westminster under the GFC
Loan. A hypothec has been granted by the Corporation in favour of GFC covering
the Corporation's present and future movable and immovable property in order to
secure the Corporation's obligations under the Excellium Loan. In addition,
Excellium has agreed to guarantee the obligations of GFC under the GFC Loan. The
proceeds of the Excellium Loan will be used by the Corporation to finance its
operations


As additional consideration payable to Westminster in connection with these loan
arrangements, the Corporation has issued a non-transferable common share
purchase warrant (the "Warrant") to Westminster. The Warrant is exercisable for
up to five hundred thousand (500,000) common shares of the Corporation (the
"Warrant Shares") at an exercise price of $0.15 per share, which represents a
premium of $0.05 on the closing price of the Corporation's common shares on the
Exchange on February 19, 2012. The Warrant is exercisable immediately and
expires two (2) years after its date of issuance, and will not be listed.
