MetaPower International, Inc.'s Board of Directors Approve Stock Buyback Program

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 22, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- MetaPower International, Inc. (Pink
Sheets:MTPW) is pleased to announce that the Company's Board of Directors has
authorized a buyback of up to 28 million shares of MetaPower International, Inc.
common stock. The buyback will occur through open market purchases as permitted
by securities laws and other legal requirements.

The decision was based upon various events throughout 2007 as well as the
Company's overall goal of increasing shareholder value, and improving returns on
investment. The buyback option will be available to all MetaPower officers,
directors, employees, and other affiliated and related persons.

"We have had a very good year. Although we are still closing our books and the
numbers are not final, we fully expect that we will see revenues of
approximately $3,500,000 and net profits on the order of $400,000. While I am
not prepared to forecast our performance at this time, I do expect another good
year for MetaPower International. Based on the performance last year, the Board
of Directors has agreed that our shares are significantly undervalued and should
be trading at higher levels. We believe that this buyback program is in the best
interest of MetaPower International, our stockholders and employees. We will
continue to operate in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders,"
stated Ken Allen, President of MetaPower.

The Company recently announced that its subsidiary, MetaPower Canada, has
received purchase orders totaling CAD$1,300,000 to provide Process Safety
Management consulting services for a Canadian Energy company with operations in
the Oil Sands region of Northern Alberta.
