Letter  Agreement

On  October  1,  2004, NanoPierce Technologies, Inc. (the "Registrant") signed a
Letter  Agreement  (the  "Agreement")  with  Xact  Resources International, Inc.
("Xact  Resources").  The Agreement is to provide for the development of a joint
venture  between  the  Registrant  and Xact Resources.  The purpose of the joint
venture  would  be  to  produce,  market and sell YBG-2000, a biotech yeast beta
glucan  product  which  has  been  developed  by Xact Resources.   YBG-2000 is a
natural  beta glucan immune system feed supplement refined from bakers yeast. It
is  used to replace antibiotic fast growth additives which are currently used by
producers  of  feeds  for  the  livestock,  poultry  and  shrimp  industries.

As  part  of  the  Agreement,  the  Registrant  has  agreed to provide temporary
financing  of  seventy-five  thousand  dollars  ($75,000.00).  The Registrant in
return  has  been  provided  an  exclusive right for a thirty (30) day period to
raise  a total of one million, five hundred thousands dollars ($1,500,000.00) in
order  to purchase a fifty percent (50%) ownership in the joint venture.  If the
Registrant  is unable to raise such funds and/or is unable to provide reasonable
proof  of  such financing at the end of the thirty (30) day period, upon written
demand  by  the Registrant, Xact Resources shall have ninety (90) days to return
the  seventy-five  thousand  dollars  ($75,000.00).
