Boss Power Corp. (TSX VENTURE:BPU) ("Boss Power" or the  "Company") today warns
shareholders that dissident shareholder Anthony Beruschi is the problem, not the
solution, for Boss Power. The Company also warns shareholders not to be deceived
by Beruschi's misrepresentations in his October 28 Morning Star Resources Ltd.
news release and dissident circular.


Boss Power is correcting the record regarding Beruschi's latest false
allegations and inaccuracies. Boss Power also notes that in the dissident
circular Beruschi appears to be preparing to buy shareholder support through the
highly criticized practice of offering financial incentives to brokers who
deliver proxies to him. 


"Beruschi's plan for Boss Power is only intended to benefit Beruschi," said Ron
Netolitzky, Chairman and Acting CEO of Boss Power. "We are confident that
shareholders will see that his objective in this proxy contest is to get his
hands on Boss' $30 million settlement with the Province of BC."


"What Beruschi did not say in his circular is especially telling. For example he
was silent on the management of Boss Power under his nominees. Is this because
he intends to be named President and CEO, as he was at Goldbank Mining Corp.?
That is troubling because Beruschi extracted millions of dollars in compensation
from Goldbank even as the shares lost 99.9% of their value under his 18-year
leadership. Beruschi must be stopped before he does the same to Boss Power."


Boss urges shareholders to vote the YELLOW proxy in support of Boss' superior
nominees and to protect the future of their investment in Boss. 


Beruschi's so-called "solution" is a solution for Beruschi - not for all Boss
Power Shareholders 


If Beruschi's nominees are elected, there are significant monetary issues
between Beruschi and Boss Power that are at risk of being resolved for the
benefit of Beruschi. Shareholders need to ask - who will stand up for their
interests when Beruschi is negotiating with his own hand-picked nominees. 


As outlined in Boss Power's Management Information Circular, these monetary
issues with Beruschi amount to many millions of dollars and include royalty
compensation of $2.5 million that he has demanded for unproduced uranium.
Beruschi's dissident circular is silent on nearly all of these issues. That's
because he hopes that he can soon negotiate them privately with his nominees, to
his benefit. 


Moreover, if Beruschi and his nominees win they will have control of some $30
million from the pending settlement with the Province of British Columbia.
Shareholders face the risk that a Board nominated by Beruschi will spend a
significant portion of those funds for the benefit of Beruschi and not for the
benefit of all shareholders.


A Court Valuation of Beruschi's B Claims may not be fair to other shareholders 

One of the issues between Boss Power and Beruschi is a dispute over the value of
Beruschi's B Claims. Of course there would be no dispute if Boss Power had
delivered an unfairly large portion of the Government settlement to Beruschi.
But the Boss Power Board correctly refused to put Beruschi's interests ahead of
the interests of all shareholders. 


Beruschi now says he will let a court decide a "fair" value of his mining claims
if his nominees are elected to the Board. Here's the problem: The Court will
determine the value of the B Claims based on submissions it receives from the
two parties -- Beruschi on one side and his own hand-picked nominees on the
other side. Berushi's emphasis on the court process to determine the value of
his claims is a red herring. It conceals his tactics for positioning on both
sides of the deal. A Court resolution has always been available to Beruschi but
because of this self-interest he will only proceed if his nominees are in place.
The crucial question is: who will protect the shareholder in this scenario? 


Beruschi's current position also ignores the fact that the Province sought to
pay the settlement funds into Court earlier this year, by consent, leaving the
issue of the B Claims and other matters to be determined by the Court. Beruschi
was the only party who opposed that solution. The fact that Beruschi is now
willing to do so, if his ransom demands are met and his nominees are on the
board, reveals his self-interested motivations. 


Beruschi's Goldbank track record continues to be a warning for Boss Power
Shareholders


Boss Power urges shareholders to read its Management Information Circular
available at www.bosspower.ca for full details of the cautionary tale that
Goldbank provides. Shareholders should be concerned that Beruschi's objective is
to turn Boss Power into a new Goldbank, operating mainly for Beruschi's own
benefit. 


Beruschi is less than candid about his pay for non-performance as President and
CEO of Goldbank, where he extracted $4.5 million over 18 years as the share
price dropped by 99.9%. Of his compensation total, Beruschi cunningly defends
his $0.8 million in Goldbank stock option grants on the grounds that he later
cancelled them. But he fails to mention what Boss Power disclosed in its
Management Information Circular--those stock options were worthless before he
cancelled them, due to the precipitous decline in the price of Goldbank's shares
under his leadership. 


Boss Power has recently become aware of yet another Goldbank-related case
involving Beruschi in the Supreme Court of Yukon. Goldbank's Qualified Person,
geologist Chris Ash, filed this newly surfaced lawsuit. He alleged that Beruschi
and another defendant failed to pay for Ash's Goldbank work even though Beruschi
provided "written personal guarantees of payment." Ash also alleges that
Beruschi "engaged in spreading falsehoods" about Ash, and that Beruschi and the
other defendant used "false promises, intimidation tactics and threats" against
Ash.


Boss Power notes that these allegations follow an earlier case summarized by
Boss Power in its Management Information Circular on page 10 under the heading
"Troubling allegations against Beruschi in Goldbank's Yukon lawsuit." Even
though Beruschi has denied these allegations, Boss Power believes shareholders
should be wary of Beruschi, especially if his nominees name him Boss Power's
President and CEO.


Correcting Beruschi's false allegations and inaccuracies

Boss Power asks that shareholders note the following important corrections to
Beruschi's latest false allegations and inaccuracies:




--  Contrary to Beruschi's false assertions, Boss Power's nominees for the
    Board are not controlled by Anthem Resources Inc. While Anthem is a
    significant Boss Power shareholder, it did not play any role in the
    selection of Boss Power's nominees. The nominees were recruited by
    Netolitzky in his role of Acting CEO of Boss Power. The fact that
    Netolitzky is a non-management director of Anthem does not mean that
    Boss Power's nominees are being nominated by Anthem. 

--  The nominees of Boss Power have had major successes in mining,
    notwithstanding Beruschi's attempts to discount them. Beruschi, on the
    other hand, has failed to deliver any sustained value to shareholders in
    any of the three publicly traded companies for which he served as both
    CEO and a director. Beruschi's nominees do not have the deep background
    that Boss Power's nominees have in geology, mineral exploration,
    accounting, venture capital and resource investment. Shareholders should
    review the biographies included in the Boss Power Circular for full
    details of Boss Power's nominees' qualifications, experiences and past
    successes. 

--  Contrary to his assertions, Beruschi was acting as counsel for Boss
    Power at the time the trust agreements that transferred legal title of
    the B Claims to Blizzard, in trust, were drafted and owed Boss Power a
    duty of undivided loyalty. Beruschi sent Boss Power substantial accounts
    for legal services at the time, which related to the very matters
    underlying his present disputes with Boss Power. The trust agreements
    were prepared in terms that favour Beruschi's interests over that of
    Boss Power. They required Boss Power to continue to make payments to
    maintain the B Claims after Boss Power no longer had any option on them
    and denied Boss Power the opportunity to return them to Beruschi,
    without his consent, upon expiry of the option. Boss Power believes
    Beruschi may be liable to Boss Power for any and all losses arising out
    of his apparent breach of fiduciary duty. 



Beruschi appears poised to BUY SHAREHOLDER support because he cannot win on merit

It appears that Beruschi himself is well aware of the shortcomings of his four
nominees. That's why his dissident circular states "we may cause a soliciting
dealer group to be formed to solicit proxies... for which we would pay customary
fees." 


Shareholders should be aware exactly what this statement means. Beruschi is not
prepared to win the proxy fight purely on merit. Instead he appears to be
preparing to offer financial incentives to lure brokers to secure their clients'
proxy on his behalf. Brokers do not typically disclose to their clients the fact
that their recommendation is fee-based. This is a practice that has recently
been condemned by Canada's two national newspapers and the leading organization
on corporate governance in Canada. 


We urge shareholders to ask the following questions:



--  Why is Beruschi prepared to use under-handed payments to obtain their
    vote? 
--  If they are paid to support Beruschi, are the brokers conflicted?
