Vancouver, BC -- MPH Ventures Corp. (TSX-V: MPS) (OTCBB: MPSFF) (Frankfurt: IJA2) (the "Company") announces a second appointment to the Company's newly formed Cuban Investment Advisory Board. With the most significant shift in American policy towards Cuba in over fifty years, MPH Ventures intends to evaluate potential investments in Cuba.

MPH Ventures is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Steve Marshall to the Company's Cuban Investment Advisory Board.

Steve Marshall is a trilingual entrepreneur specializing in international marketing and deal brokering. He has successfully adapted to varied world markets throughout his career directing marketing campaigns in Spain, France, Russia, Moldova, Ukraine and Cuba including a multinational timeshare company and a multilevel digital marketing corporation.

Mr. Marshall was a special advisor to a number of Cuban corporations spearheading their entrance into the new economy and providing support and investment in a range of commercial sectors. He is knowledgeable concerning the idiosyncrasies of dealing with the Cuban Government and Cuba's foreign investment laws.

Steve Marshall's past Cuban ventures have received coverage in the Financial Times, BBC News, CNN, Time Magazine, Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, and The Wall Street Journal.

Mr. Marshall also found time to concentrate on his philanthropic initiatives including refitting of the Pinar del Rio General hospital with over $800,000 in second hand medical equipment and importing containers of children's toys for the pediatric cancer unit at the Havana William Soler Hospital in Cuba.

At this time, MPH Ventures has not concluded any transactions in Cuba nor is there any assurance that a suitable investment in a Cuban project will be concluded in the future. Any transaction, which may include a change in business, will require regulatory approval.
