Drake Energy Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:DPE)

Operations

With strong oil prices and natural gas prices still weak, Drake Energy Ltd. (the
"Company") is set to develop its oil prospects at Enchant and Sousa.


At its Enchant property, the Company has one oil completion planned for late
September or early October. There are three follow-up locations planned for
early 2010. The Company has an additional oil drilling location with up to 5
follow-up locations in the northern section. Each of the locations is supported
by seismic.


At Sousa there is one re-entry and one drilling location identified for this
winter. The drilling prospect is a follow up on one of Drake's existing oil
wells. Two additional follow-up wells have been identified for the following
season. Each of the locations is supported by seismic.


The Company will continue its efforts at cost control, prudent financial
management, and considering undervalued acquisitions.


Private Placement

The Company has successfully completed the first tranche of its previously
announced private placement (the "Private Placement") of 792,520 units ("Units")
of the Company at an issue price of $0.10 per Unit, each Unit to consist of one
