> GUATEMALA/LAS VEGAS MEETING-
>
> Kevin Howell, Terry Colvin and I spent Friday July 11, 1997, in Las Vegas,
> Nevada in meetings with Russ Gerstein in regard to their Guatemala telephone
> project.
>
> Initially, an installed base for approximately 300,000 subscribers is planned
> for this network. It is the owners intention to put the equipment in place to
> handle this customer base is fast as possible. Time is of the essence in this
> project as "demonstrable progress" must be seen before the end August, 1997,
> under terms of the original Grant of License for this private telephone
> company.
>
> Over the next 3-5 years they feel there is a requirement for over 1 million
> phones in the Guatemala market and they expect to make an investment of +$200
> million dollars.
>
> All of the required permitting and licensing is in place to set up this
> private telephone service and the legislation is in place to force Guatel(the
> existing telephone company) to provide interconnectivity which is required to
> integrate this system into the existing telephone network.
>
> A number of fundamental decisions where reached during the meeting in regard
> to the location of the first fiber optic installations, the size of service
> and the location of the first Central Office(C.O.) switch.
>
> We felt our meetings went extremely well and the bottom line is that Mr.
> Gerstein agreed to work with us as providers of planning and management
> services as well as a telephone equipment suppliers. In this regard Terry and
> Russ will be going to Guatemala before the end of July. Kevin Howell may also
> be making this trip.

> Mr. Gerstein has also indicated that his group may have opportunities for
> developing private telephone service in surrounding countries such as
> Honduras and San Salvador. We would hope to participate in these
> developments..
> I feel this is a tremendous opportunity for a company of our size to be
> involved as both consultants and equipment suppliers on this multi-million
> dollar project. More news in this regard soon..

> STOCK PRICE & HOW TO TRADE THE STOCK-
>
> The stock has been at a little higher price in the past week, trading in the
> $0.25 to $0.30(CDN) range. This would be equivalent to $0.18 to $0.22(USD).
>
> The percentage gains for those of you who were lucky enough to pick up stock
> in the $0.15 area is excellent, but I fully realize that this is not a
> satisfactory price for our many long term shareholders.
>
> This price trend should continue over the coming weeks and I believe we will
> see further price gains from the $0.30 level. The percentage gains on stocks
> priced at these low levels can be excellent and I would continue to encourage
> those who have discretionary investment income to accumulate the shares.
>
> I am also encouraged that our efforts in maintaining our e mail lists is
> paying off. As many of you may be aware we have an e mail list of over
> 15,000 people that have requested information on Triquanta. We also estimate
> that only 600-700 of these individuals are stockholders today. Obviously, if
> the number of shareholders from this list should double, even if they only
> purchased 1,000 shares each, the impact on the stock could be significant.
>
> We have been pleased that in the last two weeks, we have had numerous calls
> and e mail, from our list, telling us that: "I have been following your
> company by e mail or on the internet, for the last( 6 months to a year) and I
> am now buying stock."
>
> In this regard we have had many requests for information on: "how to buy the
> stock?"
> First the stock can usually be purchased by any licensed brokerage firm or
> bank anywhere in the world. The only information they require is the stock
> name: TRIQUANTA INVESTMENTS LIMITED, the exchange it trades on: The Alberta
> Stock Exchange and, in some cases the CUSIP number: #896917101.
