ENTREC Completes Acquisition of GT's Crane and Transportation Services Inc.

ENTREC Corporation ("ENTREC") (TSX VENTURE:ENT) today announced that it has
completed its previously announced acquisition of a 100% interest in GT's Crane
and Transportation Services Inc. and all of its operating subsidiaries ("GT's").
Based in Grande Prairie, Alberta, GT's had 180 employees and operated a fleet of
45 cranes, including all-terrain, rough-terrain and picker trucks, 130
multi-wheeled trailers and 50 tractors.


The aggregate consideration paid at closing consisted of (i) the issuance of
9,054,336 common shares of ENTREC; (ii) $37,223,380 in cash; and (iii) an
unsecured promissory note of $7,293,770 bearing interest at an annual rate of
7.25% and due July 2, 2016. The final purchase price remains subject to
adjustment based on GT's normalized earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2013 and
working capital at June 30, 2013. 


ENTREC is also pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Greg Toews as
Executive Vice President Operations. Prior to joining ENTREC in conjunction with
the GT's acquisition, Mr. Toews was the President and CEO of GT's from its
inception in 1998.


"We are very excited to have Greg and his team joining the ENTREC team," said
John M. Stevens, ENTREC's President and COO. "With our combined operations we
now have a leading market position in Northeast B.C. and Northwest Alberta, and
are well positioned to capture a significant portion of planned future
investments in Liquefied Natural Gas ("LNG") driven infrastructure within these
regions."

Forward-looking statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements that reflect ENTREC's
current beliefs and that are based on information currently available to ENTREC.
These statements require ENTREC to make assumptions it believes are reasonable
but, as a result of such assumptions, such forward-looking statements are
subject to inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results and developments may
differ materially from the results and developments discussed in the
forward-looking statements as certain of these risks and uncertainties are
beyond ENTREC's control. 


Examples of such forward-looking statements in this press release relate to, but
are not limited to, (i) ENTREC's belief the acquisition of GT's will position
ENTREC as a leading heavy lift and heavy haul company in Northeast B.C. and
Northwest Alberta and strongly position ENTREC to benefit from the expected
future investments in LNG driven natural gas infrastructure spending.


Although ENTREC believes that the expectations and assumptions on which such
forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, undue reliance should not
be placed on the forward-looking statements because ENTREC can give no assurance
that they will prove to be correct. ENTREC's and GT's ability to achieve growth
as a combined entity is dependent on, but are not limited to, ENTREC's ability
to achieve facility consolidations or the elimination of redundant
administrative and operating costs, fluctuations in the demand for specialized
crane and heavy haul transportation services in the areas ENTREC serves,
political and economic conditions, industry competition, and ENTREC's ability to
attract and retain both customers and key personnel. Readers are cautioned not
to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are given as
of the date hereof, and to not use such forward-looking statements for anything
other than their intended purpose. ENTREC undertakes no obligation to update
publicly or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
