MEN

Magnum Energy Inc. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: MEN) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a Conditional Land Acquisition Agreement (the "Acquisition") to acquire 13.75 (gross and net) sections of land in two areas in Alberta for a total cost of $2,200,000. The purchase price will be paid in half with cash and in half with the issuance of no less than 1,100,000 Common shares of the Company. The Acquisition remains subject to certain conditions, including financing and TSX approval.

Three of the sections to be acquired are in the Company's core Sedalia area, close to Magnum's existing production and operations. These lands offset a recently drilled new pool gas discovery and will add significantly to drilling inventory, production and reserves in the area.

The remaining 10.75 sections are in a block of 100% owned and operated lands in west central Alberta stretching from Pembina to Windfall. These lands have defined drilling locations for both light oil and liquids rich gas and represent excellent close-in development opportunities for the Company. This will add a new second core area to exploit as Magnum increases its cash flow from Sedalia and will diversify its production base.

Initially, 11 drilling opportunities have been identified, geologically and seismically, on the lands. Management believes that these initial drilling locations have the potential to add up to 1000 boe/d of production.

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.

Neither 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.
