Micromem Technologies Inc. Meets Client Milestone with Prototype Delivery

“Micromem delivers Proof of Concept to International Oil Company”

Toronto, New York, March 13, 2012: Micromem Technologies Inc. (the “Company”) (CNSX: MRM, OTCBB: MMTIF) through its wholly owned subsidiary, Micromem Applied Sensor Technologies Inc., has successfully met a contractual milestone with its international oil company client with the demonstration of its fully functional, Proof of Concept nanoparticle detection system. This milestone triggers a payment pursuant to a previously announced development agreement.

The laboratory demonstration focused on the ability of Micromem’s patented technology to both effectively capture and hold 4-20 nm nanoparticles in a liquid stream and subsequently release the particles in real time to a measurement platform. The Company developed a patented flow through detection system capable of detecting particles at 1 part per billion and involves measurement of less than 40 nanograms of magnetic nanoparticles. The final production quality product is anticipated for delivery to the client late in Q2 or early in Q3. This will complete the initial contract.

In addition to the above noted application, this product development and the associated intellectual property has positioned Micromem to go forward and market its technology in the rapidly expanding fields of biomedical detection and environmental trace particle monitoring.
