MARKETING STRATEGY

Optima Engineers and Constructors Inc. Has an established market
in Alberta. Saskatchewan and British Columbia. We have
undertaken small projects overseas and are presently preparing
to enter the Argentine marketplace as a priority business
destination.

Our marketing strategy for the Argentine Republic is becoming
International Export ready in Canada first, then developing a
market analysis/presence within Argentina.

To assist in developing business directives, we plan to network
with Canadian Government (Department of Foreign Affairs and
International Trade), Canadian individuals and corporations
currently conducting business in Argentina. These contacts will
lead to key Argentine contacts whereby we can develop an
in-country presence to promote our services and expertise.
Based on the results of such, we may be prepared to extend our
activities to other Mercosur countries.

We are targeting a market where we see a potential for the
future. Although the petroleum sector has been affected by the
current low oil price we feel that this is short term and we can
provide services and expertise to this sector now and for the
future.

The Vice President, Technology and International business
development will pursue the Argentine market. The President and
Vice President of the Company plan to travel to the Argentine,
initially to explore the potential and then to learn more of the
culture and business practices of the Argentine people.
