<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>METHANEX KITIMAT TO PROVIDE TERMINALLING SERVICES TO ENCANA</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt">September&nbsp;20, 2005
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Methanex Corporation has entered into an agreement to provide terminalling services to EnCana at
Methanex&#146;s Kitimat, British Columbia site. EnCana advises that it plans to import diluent through
this terminal for use in its oilsands projects in Alberta.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In addition, the agreement provides EnCana the option to buy from Methanex, and Methanex the option
to sell to EnCana, the Kitimat site (excluding the methanol and ammonia facilities), within the
five-year term of the agreement. Methanex recently announced its plan to shut down its Kitimat
production facilities in early January&nbsp;2006.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&#147;This is a win-win for Methanex and EnCana&#148; said Bruce Aitken, President and CEO of Methanex. &#147;It
will enable us, over time, to offset some of the Kitimat shutdown costs and will provide EnCana
with a convenient terminalling facility on the west coast of Canada.&#148; Aitken continued, &#147;An
important feature of the agreement is our right to use the Kitimat terminal facilities to import
methanol from our other production facilities through Kitimat. This will allow us to continue to
provide a secure, long term supply of methanol to our customers in the Pacific Northwest.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The agreement is subject to certain conditions precedent. Methanex expects to commence
terminalling services for EnCana in early 2006.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Methanex is a Vancouver based, publicly-traded company engaged in the worldwide production and
marketing of methanol. Methanex shares are listed for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange in
Canada under the trading symbol &#147;MX&#148; and on the Nasdaq National Market in the United States under
the trading symbol &#147;MEOH.&#148; <U>www.methanex.com</U>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 8pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>Information in this news release may contain forward-looking statements. By their nature, such
forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. They include
world-wide economic conditions, actions of competitors, the availability and cost of gas feedstock,
the ability to implement business strategies and pursue business opportunities, conditions in the
methanol and other industries including the supply and demand for methanol and the risks attendant
with producing and marketing methanol, integrating acquisitions and realizing anticipated synergies
and carrying out major capital expenditure projects. This release also refers to agreements that
are subject to conditions precedent. There can be no assurance that these conditions will ever be
satisfied. Please also refer to our publicly available documents filed from time to time with
