Title: Formation Capital Receives Water Right Permit for Idaho Cobalt Project

Vancouver, B.C., March 13, 2008 Formation Capital Corporation (FCO-TSX), announced today its wholly owned subsidiary, Formation Capital Corporation, U.S. ("the Company") located in Salmon, Idaho, has received a Water Right Permit from the Department of Water Resources of the State of Idaho for its proposed 100% owned Idaho Cobalt Project. The Company is very pleased with this latest advancement as it represents a significant development in the overall permitting process for the project.

The permit will allow the Company to appropriate water from the Ram deposit which will be used in the milling process. Specifically, it allows the Company to pump water from the Ram deposit to the mill site, where it will be used in the milling and froth flotation circuits to produce a cobalt / copper concentrate. The concentrate will then be shipped to the Company's 100% owned Big Creek Hydrometallurgical facility, located in northern Idaho, for processing into high purity end product cobalt and copper metals.

Engineering studies indicate the amount of water that will be pumped from the Ram workings will be more than adequate to satisfy the milling and concentrating requirements. In addition, the permit allows for the appropriation of water from the Sunshine Deposit, which is currently not considered in the Bankable Feasibility Study, as well as two locations on the Big Flat area where the millsite and other ancillary facilities will be located. Unused water will be treated and discharged in accordance with all state and federal water quality standards to will ensure no measurable impact to surface waters.

"The issuance of this permit is a welcome move that demonstrates clear progress in the permitting of the project." said Mari-Ann Green, Chairman and CEO of Formation Capital Corporation. "As the first of the permits needed to open the Idaho Cobalt Project, this is a significant milestone. We are working hard to see the remaining permits issued in time to begin mine construction this coming season."

Formation Capital Corporation is dedicated to the principles of environmentally sound mining and refining practices, and believes that environmental stewardship and mining can co-exist. The Company trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol FCO.
