<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>METHANEX DELIVERS HIGHER EARNINGS AND CASH FLOWS</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>April&nbsp;28, 2005</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Methanex Corporation recorded net income of US$76.0&nbsp;million (US$0.63 diluted net income per share)
and generated EBITDA<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">1</SUP> of US$134.7&nbsp;million for the first quarter ended March&nbsp;31, 2005.
This compares to net income of US$46.8&nbsp;million (US$0.38 diluted net income per share) and EBITDA of
US$93.4&nbsp;million for the same period in 2004. In the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company reported
net income of US$66.1&nbsp;million (US$0.54 diluted net income per share) and EBITDA of US$120.8
million.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Bruce Aitken, President and CEO of Methanex commented, &#147;We are delighted to have produced a
record quarter. The earnings and cash flows that we achieved in the first quarter are our highest
in 10&nbsp;years. Methanol pricing remained strong and stable in the first quarter, underpinned by tight
methanol industry supply and demand fundamentals in an environment of high global energy prices.
This resulted in a continuation of the very favourable business environment that Methanex enjoyed
in 2004. Our average realized price for the first quarter of 2005 was US$262 per tonne compared
with US$251 per tonne for the previous quarter and US$223 per tonne for the first quarter 2004.
As we enter the second quarter of 2005, the methanol market remains tight, global
inventories remain below normal levels and global Methanex reference prices are stable, ranging
from US$302 to $316 (US$0.91 &#151; $0.95 gallon) before discounts.&#148;



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Mr.&nbsp;Aitken continued, &#147;Our fourth plant in Chile is currently in the commissioning phase and is
progressing well. This plant will increase our total low cost production capability to 5.8&nbsp;million
tonnes per year and significantly improve our ability to generate cash throughout the methanol
price cycle. We plan to be shipping methanol to our customers from the 840,000 tonne per year Chile
IV plant in the second quarter.&#148;



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Mr.&nbsp;Aitken added, &#147;Numerous planned and unplanned outages in the industry to date in 2005 resulted
in global inventories remaining below historic norms. Looking ahead, we remain optimistic that
tight market conditions and above average methanol pricing will continue in 2005. We believe that
the impact of planned methanol capacity additions this year should be largely offset by further
industry restructuring and increased demand.&#148;

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Mr.&nbsp;Aitken concluded, &#147;We continue to enjoy excellent financial strength and flexibility. With
US$257&nbsp;million cash on hand at the end of the first quarter of 2005 and a US$250&nbsp;million undrawn
credit facility, we have the financial capacity to complete our capital maintenance spending
program, pursue new opportunities to enhance our strategic position in the methanol industry and
continue to deliver on our commitment to maintain a prudent balance sheet and return excess cash to
shareholders.&#148;

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Tight market conditions, high methanol prices and excellent operating performance at our plants
resulted in another quarter of strong financial results for Methanex. For the first quarter of 2005
we recorded EBITDA of $134.7&nbsp;million and net income of $76.0&nbsp;million (diluted net income per share
of $0.63). This compares with EBITDA of $120.8&nbsp;million and net income of $66.1&nbsp;million (diluted net
income per share of $0.54) for the fourth quarter of 2004 and EBITDA of $93.4&nbsp;million and net
income of $46.8&nbsp;million (diluted net income per share of $0.38) for the first quarter of 2004.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><FONT style="font-variant: SMALL-CAPS"><B><I>EBITDA</I></B></FONT>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Commencing with this first quarter 2005 Management&#146;s Discussion and Analysis, we are providing
separate discussion of the change in EBITDA related to our Kitimat and New Zealand facilities.
Accordingly, the price, cash cost and volume variances described below represent the change in
EBITDA excluding the change related to sales of Kitimat and New Zealand produced methanol. The
change in cash margin earned by our Kitimat and New Zealand facilities is presented separately.
Natural gas is the primary feedstock at our methanol production facilities. Our low cost Chile and
Trinidad production hubs are underpinned by long-term low cost take-or-pay natural gas purchase
contracts with pricing terms that vary with methanol prices. This relationship enables these
facilities to be competitive throughout the methanol price cycle and, accordingly, changes in
methanol prices, sales volumes and cash costs for methanol produced at these facilities are the key
drivers of changes in our EBITDA. In comparison, our facilities in Kitimat and New Zealand incur
higher production costs and their operating results represent a smaller proportion of our EBITDA.
We have positioned our New Zealand and Kitimat operations to be flexible and will continue to
critically assess our operating plan with consideration given to prevailing market conditions and
our ability to generate positive cash margins.

first quarter of 2004 resulted from the following:

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Strong demand and tight supply have resulted in the continuation of a strong methanol price
environment during the first quarter of 2005. This favourable price environment continues to be
underpinned by high North American natural gas prices and high global energy prices. Our first
quarter of 2005 average realized price<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">1</SUP> was $262 per tonne compared with $251 per tonne
for the fourth quarter of 2004 and $223 per tonne for the first quarter of 2004. The impact on
EBITDA of changes in the average realized price for produced methanol is included in the above
table.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">The methanol industry is highly competitive and prices are affected by supply and demand
fundamentals. We publish non-discounted prices for each major methanol market and offer discounts
to customers based on various factors. For the first quarter of 2005 our average realized methanol price is approximately 15% lower than our average
non-discounted price. This

<DIV style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">compares to approximately 13% lower for the fourth quarter of 2004 and
11% lower for the first quarter of 2004. In order to reduce the impact of cyclical pricing on our
earnings, for a portion of our production volume we have positioned ourselves with certain global
customers under long-term contracts where prices are either fixed or linked to our costs plus a
margin. While the discount from reference prices in the current strong pricing environment has
increased, the discount should narrow during periods of lower pricing. We believe it is important
to maintain financial flexibility throughout the methanol price cycle and these strategic contracts
are a component of our prudent approach to liquidity.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B><I>Total cash cost</I></B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Maintaining a low cost structure provides a competitive advantage in a commodity industry and is a
key element of our strategy. Our low cost production facilities in Chile and Trinidad represent
over 80% of our total production capacity. These facilities are underpinned by long-term low cost
take-or-pay natural gas purchase agreements with pricing terms that are linked to methanol prices
above a pre-determined floor price. We believe this enables these facilities to be competitive
throughout the methanol price cycle.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Our total cash costs for the first quarter of 2005 were lower than in the fourth quarter of 2004
and this increased EBITDA by $6&nbsp;million. The decrease in cash costs primarily relates to lower
costs for maintenance, supply chain and general and administrative expenditures, including lower
stock-based compensation expense of $2&nbsp;million.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Our total cash costs for the first quarter of 2005 were higher than in the first quarter of 2004
and this decreased EBITDA by $7&nbsp;million. The increase in cash costs primarily relates to the impact
of higher methanol prices on natural gas costs at our Chile and Trinidad facilities.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B><I>Sales volumes</I></B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Higher sales volumes of methanol produced from our low cost Chile and Trinidad facilities during
the first quarter of 2005 increased EBITDA by $7&nbsp;million compared with the fourth quarter of 2004
and increased EBITDA by $16&nbsp;million compared with the first quarter of 2004. Sales volumes of
methanol produced from these facilities represented 82% of our total produced product sales volumes
for the first quarter of 2005 compared with 70% in the fourth quarter of 2004 and 78% in the first
quarter of 2004.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B><I>Margin earned from our Kitimat and New Zealand facilities</I></B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">The cash margin earned from our Kitimat and New Zealand facilities during the first quarter of 2005
was $10&nbsp;million lower than in the fourth quarter of 2004 and $8&nbsp;million lower than in the first
quarter of 2004. These facilities are generating positive cash margins in the current methanol
price environment despite high costs for natural gas. The decrease in cash margin compared with the
fourth quarter of 2004 primarily relates to reduced sales volumes of production from New Zealand
due to natural gas supply constraints. The decrease in cash margin compared with the first quarter
of 2004 is primarily due to lower sales volumes of New Zealand production, higher cash costs in New
Zealand and higher natural gas costs for our Kitimat facility. Our costs in New Zealand were lower
in the first quarter of 2004 primarily as a result of favourable New Zealand dollar foreign
currency forward contracts that expired during 2004.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B><I>Margin on the sale of purchased methanol</I></B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">We purchase additional methanol produced by others on the spot market or through offtake agreements
in order to meet customer needs and support our marketing efforts. Consequently, we realize holding
gains or losses on the resale of this product depending on the methanol price at the time of
resale. The cost for purchased methanol also includes allocated fixed storage and handling costs of
approximately $5 per tonne. For the first quarter of 2005 we incurred a loss of $5&nbsp;million on the
sale of 0.3&nbsp;million tonnes of purchased methanol compared with a loss of $6&nbsp;million on the sale of
0.4&nbsp;million tonnes for the fourth quarter of 2004 and a loss of $3&nbsp;million for the first quarter of
2004 on the sale of 0.5&nbsp;million tonnes.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Interest and other income for the first quarter of 2005 was $1&nbsp;million compared with $4&nbsp;million for
the first quarter of 2004. The decrease in interest and other income relates primarily to
decreased foreign exchange gains in 2005 compared with 2004.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><FONT style="font-variant: SMALL-CAPS"><B><I>Income Taxes</I></B></FONT>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2005 was 29% compared with 33% for the first
quarter of 2004. The statutory tax rate in Chile and Trinidad, where we earn substantially all of
our pre-tax earnings, is 35%. Our 850,000 tonne per year Titan facility in Trinidad has a tax
holiday until July&nbsp;2005. The Atlas facility in Trinidad has an agreement whereby the tax rate will
increase over a ten year period from 0% to 35%.

<DIV style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">We have restructured our New Zealand operations over the past two years due to natural gas supply
constraints and have reduced our operations to the 530,000 tonne per year Waitara Valley plant. We
have positioned the New Zealand operations to be flexible and will continue to critically assess
our operating plan during 2005 with consideration given to prevailing market conditions and our
ability to generate positive cash margins. Until the end of 2005, we are obligated to supply
ammonia under an off take agreement with the former owner of the ammonia production assets located
adjacent to our Kitimat methanol facility. From the end of 2005, we have operating flexibility for
the Kitimat facility.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><FONT style="font-variant: SMALL-CAPS">Supply/Demand Fundamentals </FONT>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">We continue to operate in an environment of strong demand, high methanol prices and favourable
industry fundamentals. A number of unplanned outages contributed to the continuation of tight
market conditions and high methanol prices during the first quarter of 2005. Our 840,000 tonne per
year Chile IV facility, which is currently being commissioned, will be the next significant
increment of industry supply and we plan to begin shipping methanol to our customers during the
second quarter. The next large scale methanol plant expected to be completed in 2005 is the 1.8
million tonne MHTL plant in Trinidad. We believe that the impact of these supply additions in 2005
will be largely offset by increased demand and further shutdowns of higher cost methanol
facilities. In North America alone, approximately 3.4&nbsp;million tonnes of capacity continues to
operate and we believe it is likely that 1.1&nbsp;million tonnes of this capacity will shut down with
the start-up of MHTL&#146;s plant in Trinidad.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">In addition to these large-scale capacity additions there are a number of smaller-scale plants in
China expected to be completed during 2005. We continue to believe that Chinese methanol capacity
additions should not significantly impact the global supply/demand balance due to increased demand
for methanol in China and difficulties associated with exporting methanol from China. These
difficulties include product quality and plant reliability issues as well as a high cost structure.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">The Methanex non-discounted reference prices for April&nbsp;2005 are $316 per tonne ($0.95 per
gallon) in the United States and $302 per tonne in Asia. In Europe, the April&nbsp;2005 contract
transaction price was held at #eu#230 (US$304 per tonne at the time of settlement compared with
US$309 at January&nbsp;2005). Currently, spot prices in the United States are approximately $293 per
tonne ($0.88 per gallon) and spot prices in Europe (FOB Rotterdam) are approximately #eu#210 per
tonne. Prices in Asia are currently between $280 and $290 per tonne.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">We are currently operating in an environment of strong demand, tight supply conditions and high
methanol prices. Global inventory levels are low and we believe that several turnarounds are
scheduled for the second quarter that will limit the rebuilding of global inventories. We expect
that the impact of planned new capacity additions during 2005 is likely to be largely offset by
further shutdowns of higher cost methanol production and increased demand. The methanol price will
ultimately depend on industry operating rates, the rate of industry restructuring and the strength
of global demand. We believe that our excellent financial position and financial flexibility,
outstanding global supply network and low-cost position will ensure that Methanex continues to be
the leader in the methanol industry.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">In addition to providing measures prepared in accordance with Canadian Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (GAAP), Methanex presents a supplemental non-GAAP measure, EBITDA. This
supplemental non-GAAP measure does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore
is unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Management believes
this measure is useful in assessing performance and highlighting trends on an overall basis.
Management also believes EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts and investors when
comparing our results with those of other companies. EBITDA differs from the most comparable GAAP
measure, cash flows from operating activities, primarily because it does not include changes in
non-cash working capital and cash flows related to interest expense, interest and other income and
income taxes. This measure should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, net
income, cash flows from operating activities and other measures of financial performance and
liquidity reported in accordance with GAAP.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Statements made in this document that are based on our current expectations, estimates and
projections constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on our
experience and perception of trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other
factors. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve uncertainties and risks that may cause
the stated outcome to differ materially from the actual outcome.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Important factors that can cause anticipated outcomes to differ materially from actual outcomes
include worldwide economic conditions; conditions in the methanol and other industries, including
the supply and demand balance for methanol; actions of competitors; changes in laws or regulations;
the ability to implement business strategies, pursue business opportunities and maintain and
enhance our competitive advantages; the risks attendant with methanol production and marketing,
including operational disruption; the risks associated with carrying out capital expenditure
projects, including completing the Chile IV project on time and on budget; availability and price
of natural gas feedstock; foreign exchange risk; raw material and other production costs;
transportation costs; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; the risks associated
with investments and operations in multiple jurisdictions and other risks that we may describe in
publicly available documents filed from time to time with securities commissions.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Having in mind these and other factors, many of which are described in this document, readers are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. We do not guarantee that
anticipated outcomes made in forward-looking statements will be realized.

accounting principles in Canada on a basis consistent with those followed in the most recent annual
consolidated financial statements. These interim consolidated financial statements do not include
all note disclosures required by Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for annual
financial statements, and therefore should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated
financial statements included in the Methanex Corporation 2004 Annual Report. During 2004, we
changed our financial statement presentation to include in-market distribution costs in cost of
sales and operating expenses rather than as a reduction to revenue. Prior periods have been
restated.
