Shoal Point Energy Ltd. ("Shoal Point") (CNSX:SHP) announces that casing has now
been run to a depth of 1711 metres in the 3K-39 well and is being cemented into
place. Once this operation is completed (expected to be in the next few days),
the current rig in use will be released and a service rig will be brought in to
complete the planned testing program.


The next stage of testing, subject to applicable regulatory approvals, will
include a test over the open lower carbonate-rich section of the well to the
total depth of 1745 metres, from which promising hydrocarbons were encountered
during drilling and logging operations. Thereafter it is planned to perforate
the casing and test a series of fractured shale zones (between 1325 and 750
metres) which were identified from log analysis and core data, and which, from a
series of open-hole closed chamber drill stem tests, indicate significant
natural permeability. These planned tests are expected to begin in mid-August
and take up to 3 weeks to complete.


At the same time, the Company is waiting for the results of the core analysis
being undertaken by Ingrain Digital Rock Physics Lab in Houston, Texas. These
results are expected to complement the log analysis carried out by NuTech Energy
Alliance. In addition, discussions have commenced with a major petroleum
consulting company to prepare an initial resource estimate and 51-101 report.
