Methes Energies Provides Sombra Project Update

New York, December 6, 2011 – Methes Energies International Ltd. (the "Company") is pleased to report excellent progress in its wholly-owned subsidiary, Methes Energies Canada Inc. ("Methes"), about its Sombra facility located in Sombra, Ontario, Canada.

Methes Energies Canada Inc. is rapidly progressing on the project to complete its Sombra facility, where the company expects to start production in the first quarter of 2012. The facility is being set up to produce 13 Million gallons of biodiesel per year (50 MLY) using Methes' own technology, the Denami 3000 biodiesel processor. The manufacturing of the two Denami 3000s is taking place in Mississauga, Ontario, and the company is pleased with its efficient progress. Delivery of the first components of the biodiesel processors are expected in January 2012. Methes Energies Canada Inc. is believed to be the first company in several years to be adding a substantial amount of biodiesel to the current overall Canadian production capacity.

In Sombra, Methes currently employs 10 full-time and 3 part-time employees, as well as several local contractors. The company is proud to be hiring local people from Sombra, Wallaceburg, Port Lambton and surrounding areas. Methes expects to hire 5 to 8 additional employees over the next 90 days. Additionally, Methes is sourcing from local merchants wherever possible, and is receiving a warm welcome from the community. Purchases and rentals have included day-to-day consumables, short and long term rentals of heavy equipment, structural steel, electrical and plumbing supplies, aggregates, concrete, engineering, fuels, tools, and training.

Methes Energies International Ltd. is also pleased to announce that most of the funding for the Sombra project has been received from a private placement, which was closed recently. Under this recent private placement, over $ 3.7M USD was raised at a price of $ 2.00 USD per share. The financing was completed by the Company and has been subscribed to by a small group of existing shareholders, as well as strategic investors, both significantly increasing the Company's value and assisting this one with its future growth plans.

"Things are progressing quickly and efficiently at Methes. The Sombra project is on track and within budget. Our recent private offering went really well, allowing us to move forward according to plan. I am very thankful for the support of our shareholders and proud of our team members at Methes Canada, which now consists of 27 employees", said Michel G. Laporte, president of Methes Energies International Ltd.
