<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>METHANEX SECURES FURTHER GAS SUPPLY FOR NEW ZEALAND PLANT</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>November&nbsp;1, 2006</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Methanex Corporation announced today that is has secured additional natural gas supply that will
enable it to continue to operate its 530,000 tonne per year New Zealand plant until the end of
March&nbsp;2007. This plant is a flexible asset for Methanex, with operations dependant upon methanol
industry supply and demand and the availability of natural gas on commercially acceptable terms.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">John Floren, Methanex&#146;s Senior Vice President, Global Marketing and Logistics, said, &#147;The decision
to extend the operation of our New Zealand plant through to the end of the first quarter of 2007 is
driven by our view of methanol industry balances. As a result of numerous planned and unplanned
supply outages over the last several months, global inventories of methanol are at extremely low
levels. Operating our New Zealand plant will help to ensure continued reliable supply to our
customers and will offset some of the current supply shortages in the industry.&#148;
</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 Global Market in the United States under the
trading symbol &#147;MEOH.&#148; Methanex can be visited online at <U>www.methanex.com</U>.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>This news release contains forward-looking statements. Certain material factors or assumptions
were applied in drawing the conclusions or making the forecasts or projections that are included in
these forward-looking statements and Methanex believes that it has a reasonable basis for making
such forward-looking statements. However, forward-looking statements, by their nature, involve
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
contemplated by the forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties include those attendant
with producing and marketing methanol and successfully carrying out major capital expenditure
projects in various jurisdictions, the ability to successfully carry out corporate initiatives and
strategies, conditions in the methanol and other industries including the supply and demand balance
for methanol, actions of competitors and suppliers, changes in laws or regulations in foreign
jurisdictions, world-wide economic conditions and other risks described in our 2005 Management&#146;s
Discussion &#038; Analysis. Undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements. They
are not a substitute for the exercise of one&#146;s own due diligence and judgment. The outcomes
anticipated in forward-looking statements may not occur and we do not undertake to update
forward-looking statements.</I>
