Life Sciences Institute Inc. (TSX VENTURE:LSN) (the "Corporation" or 'LSN") is
pleased to report that it has entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent with a
private Colombian corporation to acquire an option to earn up to a 35% interest
in an exploration block located in the Eastern Cordillera region of Colombia. If
it earns the interest, the Company may, at its election, have the right to apply
to the Colombian Ministry of Hydrocarbons to become operator of the block.


The Company continues its due diligence towards the execution of a definitive
binding agreement.


The property is located in the center of Colombia, Southwest of Bogota in the
Eastern Cordillera Basin. The exploration block is approximately 77,574 hectares
in size and is located in close proximity to established oil pipelines and
producing fields.


"Upon the successful conclusion of our due diligence related to the Colombian
acquisition and completion of our obligations under the earn-in," stated Rob
Thomas, President and Chief Executive Officer of LSN, "we will have added a
complimentary asset to our core project in the Williston Basin of Saskatchewan.
The two areas could represent a compelling mix of opportunities for our
shareholders."


LSN currently holds a 100% working interest in 6,400 acres in Crown leases which
were identified to be prospective for oil and gas. The primary targets being the
Bird Bear-Madison and Bakken formations, previously detected with key geological
observations, well log analysis and proprietary 2D seismic. The Company is
scheduling to commence the licensing of two well locations in early February
with drilling proposed for March of 2011.


"The lands held by LSN represent a significant opportunity," said Mr. Thomas,
"we look forward to the completion of the previously announced change of
business, as well as the proposed name change to Quattro Exploration and
Production Ltd. These events, in conjunction with the proposed drilling program
in Saskatchewan, if successful, are believed to be the beginning of a foundation
for the Company's strategic growth."


In a press release dated January 26, 2011, the Company indicated that it
anticipated filing the Short Form Offering Document ("SFOD") by the end of
January. The filing of the SFOD has been delayed by third-party issues; once
these delays are resolved, the Company will file the SFOD with the TSX Venture
Exchange. It anticipates filing the SFOD before February 7, 2011.
