President's New Year Message
Energy Ventures Inc.

In spite of the tech stocks melt down and the usual activity in our stock,
things are actually going very well for EVI and we are very optimistic about
2001. We are in the midst of a very aggressive planned expansion that has
seen a separation of the Fuel Cell and Battery businesses into two divisions
and we will be making announcements shortly about the new facility that we
are setting up for the Fuel Cell side. We are putting out an announcement
about the involvement of Dr. Phil Whiting, particularly on the Fuel Cell
side. Mr. Dave Trudel has been made President of the Battery division that
will stay in our lab in Ottawa and he is expecting to be sending out
consumer samples of our Nickel Zinc battery off our pilot line by mid 2001.

It is ironic that we designed our fuel cell technology to solve the problems
of fueling infrastructure that will face Hydrogen and to reduce the overall
cost and complexity, before the market was aware that these problems
existed. Now that the market has become very concerned about these
problems, Fuel Cell stocks have had a major drop. Clearly it is not
understood that the breakthrough that we announced more than a year ago has
not been understood to have solved these issues as we fuel directly with
Methanol which is readily available today. That means that we are in a
position to market fuel cells as soon as we can get through the development
phase which we think is 18 months to two years while the rest of the
industry will have to wait for many years to resolve the fueling problems of
Hydrogen.

We have tried to explain these advantages in lay terms but the average
investor has no real understanding of the technical issues and needs some
credible third party scientists to endorse a particular technology to be
comfortable. We have had a number of well known scientists and scientific
organizations that are household names look at our program with great
enthusiasm and we have set up several strategic alliances with the ones that
we feel can best assist us in completing the development. We will be
announcing the initial players starting next week and there are already
proposals in the hands of counsel for $4,500,000 that will be contributed by
these alliances as part of the financing that we are forecasting to finish
by the end of March.

We look forward to providing you with a lot of very positive news during the
next few months.

Wayne Hartford
President, Energy Ventures Inc.
