Quinsam Capital Corporation (CSE:QCA) ("Quinsam" or the "Company") today
announced an update on recent activities.


Quinsam invested in three companies in April, all of which have exciting upside
potential in the Company's opinion.


The Company was a major participant in the recent new issue by California
Nanotechnologies Corp. ("Cal Nano") (TSX VENTURE:CNO). Subsequent to our
investment, Roger Dent, CEO of Quinsam, joined the board of Cal Nano. Cal Nano
produces powders, billets, wire and precision forged components from nano,
near-nano, ultrafine and conventional advanced materials. The application of
nanotechnology to the production of metal alloys results in products with
enhanced or unusual performance characteristics. Roger Dent said that "Cal Nano
has been developing products and technologies over a number of years. Products
are now approaching the point where very meaningful commercial ramp up is
possible. While there are of course many risks and uncertainties when companies
are at this stage of development, we believed that the juxtaposition of Cal
Nano's significant opportunities, low valuation and modest cash requirements
created a compelling investment case for us."


Enerdynamic Hybrid Technologies Inc. ("Enerdynamic") is an Ontario-based company
with a number of interesting alternative-energy businesses. Quinsam finds
Enerdynamic's combination windmill/solar/battery product for powering remote
cell towers to be particularly interesting. Enerdynamic is expected to begin
trading in May as a result of an RTO with MCM Capital One Inc. 


Quinsam participated in the new issue by Cynapsus Therapeutics Inc. ("Cynapsus")
(CTH). Cynapsus is in advanced development of a treatment for patients suffering
from Parkinson 's disease. As part of the new issue, Quinsam acquired some
attractive5-year share purchase warrants.


Growing Warrant Portfolio

As part of our investment strategy Quinsam invests in new issues in order to
build a warrant portfolio at no additional cost. Quinsam believes that this
strategy can lead to significant upside leverage in its portfolio if investments
perform well. Except in the unusual case of exchange-listed warrants, Quinsam's
policy is to value its warrants at intrinsic value. This conservatively results
in out-of-the-money warrants having no carrying value on our books. 


Our warrant portfolio has grown to a significant size and now includes warrants
issued by five issuers: Cal Nano, Cynapsus, Nuvo Research Inc., Enerdynamic and
Transgaming Inc. Three of these warrant acquisitions closed in April 2014. 


In total Quinsam now holds over 1.5 million warrants with an aggregate basic
exercise value of approximately $700,000. The exercise value is not an
indication of the economic value of the warrants; we provide it to investors
only so they can understand the amount of upside leverage that we are
accumulating through our warrant portfolio 


Performance Update

Quinsam would also like to take this opportunity to update investors on the
Company's recent performance.


As at the end of April 2014, the unaudited total value of the Quinsam's cash and
equity investments was approximately $1.8 million, compared with a value of $1.8
million at the end of March 2014. As described above, four of our five tranches
of warrants are carried at nil in our April figure. The Nuvo Research Inc.
warrants are now "in the money" and have a carrying value.


Roger Dent stated, "We are pleased with our overall investment performance to
date. While April did not show notable performance one way or the other, we
continue to see the market outlook as being very positive for our investments."
