VACANT LAND PURCHASE AGREEMENTS EXTENSIONS


Vancouver, B.C. – December 16, 2011 – Jeff Thachuk, President of Coronus Solar Inc. (the “Company”) announced today that, further to the Company's News Release of November 10, 2011, the close of escrow for the Vacant Land Purchase Agreement (the “Hesperia West Agreement”), entered into by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Coronus Energy Corp. (“Coronus”), has been extended. Additionally, the time allotted for Coronus’ board of directors to approve the Hesperia West Agreement has also been extended. Effective December 13, 2011, under the Hesperia West Agreement, the close of escrow has been extended to January 22, 2012, and the Hesperia West Agreement is now subject to Coronus’ board of director approval on or before January 15, 2012.

Mr. Thachuk announced today also that, further to the Company's News Release of October 14, 2011, the close of escrow for the Vacant Land Purchase Agreement (the “Oak Hills South Agreement”), entered into by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Coronus, has been extended. Additionally, the time allotted for Coronus’ board of directors to approve the Oak Hills South Agreement has also been extended. Effective December 15, 2011, under the Oak Hills South Agreement, the close of escrow has been extended to January 22, 2012, and the Oak Hills South Agreement is now subject to Coronus’ board of director approval on or before January 15, 2012.

The Company sought the above extensions to the Hesperia West Agreement and the Oak Hills South Agreement because the Company requires additional time to determine whether the properties will be suitable for solar photovoltaic developments under the California Public Utilities Commission’s feed-in tariff program for small generators.
