The Board of Directors of Primera Energy Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:PTT)
("PERL" or the "Corporation") today announces that it has formed a special
committee of the Board of Directors (the "Special Committee") to manage the
process to review strategic alternatives for the Corporation in order to
maximize shareholder value. The process of reviewing strategic alternatives will
be overseen by the Special Committee comprised of a majority of independent
directors of the Board.


The Special Committee will evaluate strategic alternatives which may include,
but are not limited to: retention of an advisor, a private placement or other
offering of equity or debt, the sale of a material portion or other assets of
the Corporation; the sale of the Corporation, either in one transaction or in a
combination of transactions; a merger or other business combination with another
company; or a farm-out or joint venture.


The Corporation has not established a definitive timeline to complete its review
and no decision on any particular alternative has been reached at this time.
There can be no assurance that the process will result in a transaction of any
form or, if a transaction is undertaken, as to its terms or timing. The
Corporation does not intend to make any further announcements regarding the
process unless and until the Board has approved a specific transaction or other
course of action or otherwise deems disclosure of developments is appropriate.
The Corporation intends to continue to pursue its present business plan during
this period which is to exploit its oil and gas properties on Trinidad. These
include work-overs and side track wells on its lease operatorship and its
participation in its 16.2% working interest in the Cory Moruga 'E' Block all
focused on oil opportunities and situated onshore Trinidad.
