Item 1.01 Entry into Material Definitive Agreement

On July 31, 2012, Mantra Energy Alternatives Ltd. (“Mantra Energy”), a subisidiary of Mantra Venture Group Ltd., entered into a Master Services Agreement with Tekion (Canada), Inc. (“Tekion”). Mantra Energy’s ERC technology converts CO2 in stack gases to a formate salt which can then be further processed into formic acid or used to operate a fuel cell to generate power. Mantra Energy has engaged Powertech Labs to do further engineering on the system. In order to get this technology to commercialization, Tekion has proposed a program that will run in parallel to the Powertech program to help Mantra with some of the critical issues regarding this process.

Pursuant to the terms of the Master Services Agreement, Tekion will provide services to Mantra Energy as follows:

3.

Mantra Energy shall not be liable for any deliverable to be provided by Tekion unless and until the same is decided by Mantra Energy as being in compliance with the functions, features, capabilities, components, aspects, qualities and capacities described in any specification agreed to by the parties relating to deliverables. Mantra Energy shall not unreasonably withhold its acceptance of any such deliverable.

   
4.

Mantra Energy agrees to pay Tekion in the manner specified in each SOW. In addition, Mantra Energy will be responsible for and shall reimburse Tekion for any reasonable travel or other business consulting related expenses incurred by Tekion which directly relate to fulfilling a SOW, including, without limitation, air and other travel (including car rental) and lodging expenses, internet access while travelling, copying and reproduction and related expenses and cellular phone charges, including long distance, roaming and other related cellular phone charges.
