Micromem Corporate Update

Toronto, Ontario & New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - December 17, 2015) - Micromem Technologies Inc. (CSE: MRM) (OTCQX: MMTIF) ("Micromem") ("the Company") through its wholly owned subsidiary Micromem Applied Sensor Technologies Inc. (MAST), is pleased to provide the following update.

The LIBS project is approved by Micromem's partner for delivery and an initial purchase order for 4 units has been received, at an approximate sale price of USD $42,000 per unit. Micromem's partner will deliver the 4 units to their clients for evaluation and to demonstrate the performance of the product. The partner has already delivered further purchase orders for more units, once we have those numbers we will follow up with another press release. The purchase order will be booked by Micromem as product sales and no longer form part of development. A follow up press release has been submitted for approval to the partner providing more detail.

The Interwell Tracer device has undergone and completed its lab trials under the supervision of its American oil company partner and has been approved. As a result of the successful test the oil company partner has accepted a final invoice of approximately USD $193,000 and will remit payment in the first week of January 2016. MAST is now working through the next contract with the partner to begin work on building the Interwell Tracer units for field trials. A follow up press release detailing that information is also being prepared. The units that will be delivered for field trials are also product sales and not research and development. Under the deployment proposal the partner will take 2,000 units over a 4 year period at an approximate sale price of USD $100,000 per Interwell Tracer device.

The oil pan plug sensor suite units have now been delivered to the automotive partner for evaluation. Results are already being received by Micromem from the tier one manufacturer and all indications to this point are that the app software and the Micromem technology are operating and providing correct information to the driver.
