Pro-Trans Ventures Inc. ("Pro-Trans" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:PVI) is
pleased to announce the Company's financial results for the second quarter of
2013. 


Revenue for the second quarter was $15.5 million, as compared to $13.3 million
in the previous quarter. This resulted in EBITDA for the quarter of
approximately $1.2 million and a comprehensive loss of $(160) thousand or
($0.01) per share. This compares with a Q1 2013 EBITDA of $674 thousand and a
comprehensive loss of $(331) thousand or ($0.01) per share. On a year over year
basis, this compares to a Q2 2012 revenues of $18.3 million, EBITDA of $2.3
million and comprehensive income of $835,187 or $.03 per share. 


Darby Kreitz, the interim CEO of the Company stated, "The Company continues its
strategic focus to meet its customers' production objectives while enhancing
operational efficiencies in support of profitability. A modest improvement in
production demands by the customers of our principal operating subsidiary, Maple
Leaf Loading has enabled Maple Leaf to grow revenue from the low of Q4 2012 into
Q1 2013 and continue through Q2 2013 which has provided management with reason
for optimism for the remainder of 2013."


"While Maple Leaf and therefore Pro-Trans has been negatively impacted by the
volatility in metallurgical coal prices, we continue to believe that the long
term fundamentals remain strong for the mining sector. This is evidenced by a
new contract entered into with Pretium Resources Inc. for the logistics of the
bulk sample of their Brucejack project located in Northwest British Columbia,"
he added.


Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2013
have been filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com along with Management's Discussion and
Analysis of these financial statements.

Non-IFRS Measures

Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") is a
measurement intended to provide useful insight into Results of Operations before
financing costs, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not an earnings
measure recognized by IFRS and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed
by IFRS. Readers are cautioned that EBITDA should not be construed as an
alternative to net income as determined in accordance with IFRS.


EBITDA is determined by beginning with earnings from operations as determined in
accordance with GAAP then adding back any long term interest expense, provisions
for taxes, depreciation and amortization included in earnings from operations. A
reconciliation of net income to EBITDA is provided in the Management's
Discussion and Analysis referenced above.
