NORTHCORE PROVIDES CORPORATE UPDATE

TORONTO, Jan. 26 /CNW/ - Northcore Technologies Inc. (TSX: NTI; OTCBB: NTLNF), a global provider of asset management technology solutions, is pleased to provide a corporate update on a number of initiatives.

Northcore, through its joint venture with GE Capital, has completed the initial commercial deployment of its new flagship Asset Remarketing application. The first reference account is a major manufacturer of material handling equipment. This industry-leading innovation represents the culmination of significant application development and testing cycles and will have broad appeal to middle and large tier manufacturing firms.

In addition, a renewal of the agreement to provide Asset Management tools to Kraft Foods Global has been executed. This continues the eight year relationship between the parties.

Also of note, Northcore has started significant systems development within its patent portfolio on the Dutch Auction Group Purchase Platform that was announced previously. The product will be unique by integrating gaming elements into the highly successful Group Purchase arena. It is being constructed on the Northcore application framework under an aggressive timetable. 

"We are encouraged with the reception that our new Asset Remarketing product has received and look forward to sharing the platform and its benefits with new partners. We believe it will be a compelling component of our sales strategy. The contract renewal with Kraft underscores the strength of our existing partnerships and the appeal of our toolset. Additionally, we are excited to be in the execution phase for the Dutch Auction Group Purchase Platform and feel that the combination of our technology and a strong delivery partner will position Northcore for sustainable transaction-based revenues to complement our current business model. We are optimistic about the 2011 prospects for the Company and management is committed to delivering the results expected by shareholders and partners," said Duncan Copeland, CEO of Northcore Technologies.
