VANCOUVER, May 17 /CNW/ - JBZ Capital Inc. (TSX-V: JBZ) ("JBZ") is pleased to announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Strata Minerals Limited ("Strata"), has entered into a loan agreement (the "Loan") with Fertoz Pty Ltd ("Fertoz") a private Australian company.  Fertoz has a focus on diversified fertiliser nutrients including phosphate, potash and lime.  Fertoz's project portfolio consists of 6 projects covering an area of approximately 35,000 square kilometres, principally in the Northern Territory, Australia.

Under the terms of the agreement, Strata will advance A$500,000 by way of a secured bridge loan maturing on September 30, 2011.  A condition of the Loan is that the Fertoz directors also advance A$500,000 on the same terms and conditions as the Loan.  The total proceeds of A$1 million will be used by Fertoz to fund their current exploration program.  Under certain circumstances, both Strata and the Fertoz directors may be required to fund an additional A$500,000 each on the same terms and conditions as the initial advance.  Strata will advance the loan from available working capital that will not compromise the exploration programs currently underway on its existing projects.

As part of the Loan arrangement, Strata and Fertoz have agreed to a 4 week exclusivity agreement whereby both parties will work diligently towards a broader, more comprehensive relationship between the two companies.  These negotiations and exclusivity period are in keeping with Strata's broader corporate strategy of in-organic growth.
