MEN

MAGNUM ENERGY INC. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: MEN) is pleased to announce that it has closed an acquisition (the "Acquisition") of 13 gross (9.24 net) sections of land in the Sedalia area of Alberta with existing natural gas production of 415 mcf/d (70 BOE/D) as previously announced on September 30, 2009. The Acquisition also includes a 30% working interest in a gas processing plant and a 100% interest in a compressor facility which will be operated by the Company.

The Company is also pleased to report that it has obtained a $5,000,000 Operating Loan Facility from the Alberta Treasury Branch. This loan facility has been used in part to repay indebtedness to the Company's previous lender and to fund the Acquisition. The balance of the loan available of $1,000,000 in addition to cash flow will be used to upgrade the current facilities and to bring further production on in the Sedalia area and for general corporate purposes.

The Company intends to enhance the capacity of the gas plant to enable it to commence production which is currently behind pipe in 100% owned wells. The Company's after acquisition current total production of 255 boe/d is anticipated to increase to 500 boe/d by the end of 2009 as a result of the planned Sedalia plant upgrades.

Petroleum and natural gas volumes are converted to an equivalent measurement basis referred to as a "barrel of oil equivalent" (boe) on the basis of 6 thousand cubic feet of natural gas equaling 1 barrel of oil. This is based on an energy equivalency conversion method applicable at the burner tip and does not necessarily represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Readers are cautioned that boe figures may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation.
