Feronia Inc. ("Feronia" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:FRN) is pleased to
announce that it has granted stock options to certain officers and directors of
the Company pursuant to the terms of the Company's stock option plan. Options to
purchase up to 2,140,000 common shares were granted with a ten year term and an
exercise price of $0.25 per share.


A total of 865,000 options have been granted to the new Chief Executive Officer,
Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary of the Company, which options
shall vest according to the following schedule: one-third vest on the date of
grant, one-third vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant and
one-third vest on the second anniversary of the date of grant. 


A total of 1,275,000 options have been granted to directors of the Company in
lieu of cash-based compensation, which options shall vest according to the
following schedule: one-quarter vest on the date of grant and one-quarter vest
every 90 days following the date of grant. In order to minimize cash outlays,
the directors of the Company have elected to continue to forego cash
compensation for their director fees and instead to receive the Black-Scholes
equivalent value in options. This practice has been in place since the Company
was formed. To date, directors have taken no cash compensation for serving as
directors and the weighted-average strike price of the options granted to
directors is $0.404 per share.
