Keewatin Engages Corporate Communications and Strategic Advisory Firm

Posted on: Monday, 9 March 2009, 05:59 CDT

Trading Symbol: KWPW:OTCBB

VANCOUVER, March 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Keewatin Windpower Corp (the "Company" or "Keewatin") is pleased to announce that they have engaged Aspire Clean Tech Communications, Inc., a corporate communications and strategic advisory firm dedicated to the renewable energy and clean tech markets, to assist the Company with developing an ongoing stock market communication system, handle investor requests for timely information and assist in responding to all investor inquiries and update the shareholder database accordingly.

Aspire's Todd Pitcher said, "Wind energy is one of the fastest growing energy sectors, and Canada's wind market represents a massive opportunity for the development of wind resources by companies like Keewatin. In December, the Canadian Wind Energy Association (CanWEA) announced it had become the 12th country in the world to surpass 2,000MW of installed wind energy capacity. But that only represents about 1% of Canada's total electricity demand. While the majority of installed capacity is in the eastern provinces, about 64%, Western Canada's wind resources are at least as compelling."

Key Milestones: - Keewatin is participating in the Saskatchewan Wind Power Integration and Development Study. - Keewatin has provided data to Genivar, a Calgary-based engineering firm that is conducting the study on behalf of the utility to define a productive plan for wind power in Saskatchewan. - Keewatin has entered into a letter agreement dated March 26, 2007 to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Sky Harvest Windpower Corp. ("Sky Harvest") a private Canadian company incorporated under the federal laws of Canada. Sky Harvest holds the rights to construct a wind power facility on approximately 8,500 acres of land located in south-western Saskatchewan. Sky Harvest has completed a wind resource assessment on the property that demonstrates that the potential wind resource exceeds the minimum capacity factor necessary to justify the planning and construction of a 150 megawatt wind power project. The assessment was completed by Genivar of Calgary, Alberta.

Closing of the Sky Harvest transaction is subject to a number of conditions including: the satisfactory completion of the parties' due diligence, the parties entry into a definitive agreement respecting the terms of the acquisition and receipt by the Company of the financial statements of Sky Harvest required under applicable US securities rules. There is no assurance that the transaction will be completed as planned or at all.

- Pitcher added that, "We look forward to working with the team at Keewatin to deliver a clear communications program which enables it to effectively broaden its audience within the investment community as well as the financial and trade media."
