Terra Energy Corp. ("Terra Energy" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:TTR) is
pleased to announce that it has agreed to acquire all of the shares of Tecton
Energy Canada ULC ("Tecton") in cash and share exchange transaction valued at $8
million Cdn. Terra Energy has agreed to pay $4 million in cash and issue $4
million in common shares priced at $1.55 per share (representing a five-day
weighted average price of the Company's stock). Closing of the transaction is
subject to regulatory approvals and is scheduled to occur in late May, 2009
following due diligence reviews to be performed on Tecton.


"The current economic downturn and low commodity price environment provide Terra
Energy with many growth opportunities.", said Cas H. Morel, President and CEO of
Terra Energy. "Prior to embarking on deals which may be more oil weighted or
which involve new fields of operation, the Company has decided to further
solidify its position in the Fort St. John area of British Columbia with this
strategic acquisition. The opportunity set and fit with our existing land base
and infrastructure is compelling."


Tecton is a private company whose assets consist primarily of 140 gross sections
of P&NG mineral rights (71 net) located in the immediate vicinity of Fort St.
John. These lands are either adjacent to or proximal to lands currently owned by
Terra Energy. The mineral rights cover approximately 89,910 gross acres (46,011
net), with Montney rights throughout and many sections in which all mineral
rights are included from surface to basement.


In May of 2008, Terra Energy sold mineral rights in only the Montney formation
in approximately 110 sections of land for a total purchase price of
approximately $67 million. The Tecton lands do have the potential for Montney
gas. More important to Terra Energy, however, is that the Tecton lands have
potential in numerous other formations which the Company has been exploiting
over the past five years, including the Baldonnel, Charlie Lake, Halfway, Doig,
Belloy and Kiskatinaw formations.


As a result of the proximity of the Tecton lands to the Company lands, the
Company's existing seismic data base can be used and easily expanded to assist
in the exploitation of these new lands. Furthermore, the Company's significant
investment over the past three years in building pipelines and other
infrastructure will be rewarded through the development of the multi-zone
potential from the Tecton lands.


A map of the combined Terra Energy lands and the Tecton lands is available for
viewing at the Company's website, at www.terraenergy.ca.
