Innocent Inc. Announces Restructure to Management Team

MELBOURNE, FL--(Marketwired - Jun 4, 2014) - Innocent Inc. (OTC: INCT) (the "Company"), a development stage oil and gas exploration and production company, is pleased to announce that it has accepted the resignation of Wayne Doss. The company's current Chief Operating Officer, Patrick Johnson, has been promoted to be the company's new Chief Executive Officer. Additionally, Terry Lynch was appointed as new President and Chairman of the Board.

Mr. Lynch graduated in 1981 from St. Francis Xavier University with a joint honours degree in Economics and BBA. Prior to becoming CEO of Chilean Metals Inc. (TSX VENTURE: CMX) in 2012, Mr. Lynch had been CEO of privately held Relief Gold. He also had been a director and later CEO of TSX-listed Firstgold Corp. He assumed the CEO position after the company had run into financial difficulty bringing its Relief Canyon mine into production. He arranged a sale of 51% of the company for a total capital injection of $26.5 million from Northwest Non Ferrous Metals, one of China's largest mining engineering and consulting groups. However, due to the rejection of the takeover by the US government, the company filed for bankruptcy. From October 2005 to August 2008 Mr. Lynch was a partner with Kingsmill Capital Partners, a financial advisory firm specializing in advising public and private early stage growth companies. Prior to joining Kingsmill Capital, he spent 15 years operating startup companies in industrial products, media and oil and gas where he was President & Co-founder of Pacific Tiger Energy, a Canadian-listed company ultimately acquired by Pan Orient Energy Corp. (TSX VENTURE: POE).

Patrick Johnson, CEO of Innocent, stated, "We face considerable challenges in front of us in order to restore and create additional shareholder value and feel Terry's expertise in corporate restructuring and capital formation will be very helpful. Our objective in the short term is to provide a stable balance sheet for the company as we move towards our long term goal of creating a technology-driven North American oil and gas exploration and production company."
