FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

November 24, 2008

Micromem Receives Notice That Dr. Cynthia Kuper Has Retracted Prior Assertions Regarding Alleged Sarbanes Oxley Violations and Withdrawn Objections to OSHA’s Findings

TORONTO-NEW YORK, November 24, 2008 –Micromem Technologies Inc. (OTCBB: MMTIF) has received notice that Dr. Cynthia Kuper, through her counsel, has forwarded an executed retraction letter on November 10, 2008, in connection with the complaint that she originally filed in February 2008 with the Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration ("OSHA").

On August 18, 2008, OSHA dismissed Dr. Kuper’s complaint on the grounds that there was no reasonable cause to believe that Micromem had violated the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. On August 25, 2008, Dr. Kuper filed objections to OSHA’s findings, which she has now withdrawn.

For further information contact: Jason Baun, Chief Information Officer 1-877-388-8930.
