Newton Energy Corporation (the "Company" or "Newton") (TSX VENTURE:NTN) held its
Annual General and Special meeting of shareholders today and is pleased to
announce the following re-election of directors of Merv Chia, Bruce Williams,
Richard Schmitt and Steve Engwall. In addition, subsequent to the shareholders
meeting, the directors made the following appointments: 




--  Merv Chia, Chairman of the Board; 
--  Steve Engwall, President and Chief Executive Officer; and 
--  Barry Sadrehashemi as Vice-President, Finance, Chief Financial Officer
    and Secretary. 



Operations 

Mr. Engwall provided an update on management activities and operational matters
in the East Midlands Basin. 


The Company is making progress towards drilling its first well in the East
Midlands which will be on the Harlequin prospect, east of the City of
Nottingham. The site preparation was completed by Fox (Owmby) on September 30,
2011. Long lead items (wellhead and tubing hanger) have been purchased and
received into the warehouse of Newton's project managers, Moorhouse Petroleum. 


The Company also announces that negotiations have commenced with drilling
contractors to provide a drilling rig for the Harlequin prospect. Delivery of
the rig will most likely occur in the first or second quarter of 2012 and
applications to the Department of Energy and Climate Change for permission to
drill the well are expected to be commenced in the next few days.


East Midlands Reserves 

The Company also anticipates that certain of the prospects on Newton's East
Midlands acreage may see reductions in their associated Proved and Probable
Reserves categories as a result of re-interpretation of 2D seismic data and well
logs. 


In particular, it is expected that the reserves on the Cropwell Butler and
Harlequin prospects will be reviewed by independent Qualified Reserves
Evaluators, Chapman Petroleum Engineering Ltd. ("Chapman") and there will likely
be downward revisions. 


However, the new mapping work has also brought insight into at least one new
prospect on the acreage, whose reserves are still under evaluation, but may well
help to mitigate some of the above reductions. It is expected that further
details of any significant reserves revisions will be announced following
Newton's year end review of reserves with Chapman.


Third Quarter Financial Statements 

The Company has filed its third quarter financial statements on SEDAR.
