GOR Goldrea Resources Corp

Edge Resources Inc. ("Edge" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:EDE) is pleased to
announce that it has completed the acquisition of certain oil and gas assets
located in West Central Saskatchewan (the "Acquisition") from an Alberta-based
public oil and gas producer for aggregate consideration of $8.8 million.


The Acquisition consists of the following:



--  Current production of approximately 350 boe/day (65% oil) 
--  100% working interest in 19 sections of Crown land plus 2 sections of
    land upon which the Company has acquired Gross Overriding Royalty
    ("GOR") interests 
--  Over 25 sections of proprietary 3D seismic 
--  Over 125km of proprietary 2D seismic lines 
--  30km of natural gas pipeline and associated infrastructure 



Brad Nichol, President & CEO of Edge commented, "We have acquired an amazing
asset in a highly sought-after area, which can act as an immediate platform for
near-term growth. We can utilize our existing operational expertise to hit the
ground running."


Highlights of the Acquisition include:



--  Acquisition price of $25,142 per flowing boe/day versus 2011 averages of
    $42,171 and $114,448 for heavy and light oil-weighted transactions,
    respectively1 
--  The acquired properties produced net cash flow of approximately $3.1
    million in 2011 and the Company anticipates a similar level of net cash
    flow in 2012, excluding the drilling of any additional wells 
--  The identification of several promising drilling locations, based on
    review of the proprietary 3D seismic 
--  Near-term opportunities to work-over existing wellbores and increase
    production 
--  Opportunities to improve recoverable reserves, which the Company
    estimates to currently be only a small percentage of original oil in
    place, through field optimization and secondary recovery methods 
--  Multi-zone exploration and development potential from several horizons 



Nichol added, "The Acquisition brings our total current production to over 900
boe/day and increases our oil weighting and immediate cash flow. We are very
pleased to have taken 100% ownership of this asset, as controlling our own
destiny has always been important to controlling our own success. We look
forward to developing this asset and the multiple promising horizons it
encompasses, to its fullest potential, which we feel can be largely accomplished
through relatively shallow, conventional, vertical, low-cost wells."


The Acquisition was financed 100% though debt and no new equity was issued to
close this transaction. To finance a portion of the Acquisition, the Company
entered into a secured loan facility in the amount of $7.5 million with the
remaining $1.3 million of the consideration from the Company's operating line.
The secured loan was provided by non-insider, Alberta resident shareholders of
the Company.
