3MV Energy Announces Intention to Issue Securities for Debt

/THIS NEWS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR TO ANY UNITED STATES NEWS SERVICES./

CALGARY, Oct. 18, 2012 /CNW/ - 3MV Energy Corp. ("3MV" or the "Company") (TSXV: TMV) announces it intends to propose to settle trade debt by issuing units (the "Units") of the Company at a conversion price of $0.25 per Unit. Each Unit will be comprised of one common share and one common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one additional common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.50 per common share for a period of 18 months following the date of issuance. Discussions with trade creditors are ongoing and, as a result, the amount of the Company's approximately $5,095,975 of trade debt to be converted and the number of units to be issued is presently indeterminable. In the event all corresponding of the trade debt elects to convert up to 20,383,903 units may be issued. Creditors who are Non-Arm's Length Parties (as defined in TSX Venture Exchange policies) will only receive the shares as settlement for their debt.

The common shares and warrants to be issued will be subject to a four-month hold period from the date of issuance. The issuance of the common shares will not result in a change of control.

These transactions are consistent with 3MV's present goal to preserve its cash and are subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
