Enertopia Completes Financing and Divests Interest in Mississippi Oil Well

VANCOUVER, BC (June 7, 2010) — Enertopia Corporation ( the “Company” or “We”) has completed a financing of $83,625 consisting of the issuance of 557,500 units priced at $0.15 each. Each unit consists of one common share and one warrant valid until May 31, 2012, to purchase another common share at a price of $0.30 each. All the shares issued under this financing are subject to regulatory restrictions.

In 2009 the Company announced its intention to participate in an oil well to be drilled in Mississippi. Since then the Company has committed itself entirely to the clean energy sector and has determined that legacy oil and gas assets no longer fit with the long term corporate direction. As such Enertopia has divested itself of the interests to be earned in this as yet undrilled oil well, and is exchanging its interests for common shares in the two companies from which it had earlier invested into this well. Enertopia will receive:

  1.

375,000 common shares and warrants to purchase 375,000 common shares at a price of $0.20 for a period of two years in Cheetah Oil and Gas; and

     
  2.

499,893 common shares and warrants to purchase 499,893 common shares at a price of $0.20 for a period of two years in Lexaria Corp. as the result of this oil well divestment.

This oil well divestment continues the policy Enertopia began in the summer of 2009 when it divested certain Canadian oil and gas assets for cash. Enertopia is meanwhile evaluating certain clean energy projects for its possible participation and/or financing.
