pleased to announce that the Company's joint venture partner and

Center, which will decide if the well is to be declared

gas indications. NIS was able to drill this conventional well
with no environmental issues and strong community
relations. We are pleased to be partnered with a company of
this caliber. We want to thank our shareholders for their patience
and look forward to sharing additional results as they come
in."

Forward-looking information is subject to known and unknown
risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the Company's
actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to
be materially different from those expressed or implied by such
forward-looking information. Such factors include, but are not
limited to: the ability to raise sufficient capital to fund
exploration and development; the quantity of and future net
revenues from the Company's reserves; oil and natural gas
production levels; commodity prices, foreign currency exchange
rates and interest rates; capital expenditure programs and other
expenditures; supply and demand for oil and natural gas; schedules
and timing of certain projects and the Company's strategy for
growth; competitive conditions; the Company's future operating and
financial results; and treatment under governmental and other
regulatory regimes and tax, environmental and other laws.
Prospective Resources are those quantities of petroleum
estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from
undiscovered accumulations by application of future development
projects. Prospective resources have both an associated chance of
discovery and a chance of development. Prospective Resources are
further subdivided in accordance with the level of certainty
associated with recoverable estimates assuming their discovery and
development and may be subclassified based on project maturity.
Best estimate resources are considered to be the best estimate of
the quantity that will actually be recovered from the accumulation.
If probabilistic methods are used, this term is a measure of
central tendency of the uncertainty distribution (most likely/mode,
P50/median, or arithmetic average/mean). As estimates, there is no
certainty that any portion of the resources will be discovered. If
discovered, there is no certainty that it will be commercially
viable to produce any portion of the resources that the estimated
reserves or resources will be recovered or produced.
BOEs may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE
conversion ratio of 6 mcf: 1bbl is based on an energy equivalency
conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does
not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.
This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect our
forward-looking information. These and other factors should be
considered carefully and readers should not place undue reliance on
such forward-looking information. The Company disclaims any
intention or obligation to update or revise forward-looking
information, whether as a result of new information, future events
or otherwise.
Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services
Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX
Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or
accuracy of this release.
