2011 Reserve Report

Exall retained AJM / Deloitte Petroleum Consultants ("AJM") to conduct an independent evaluation of Exall's oil and gas reserves effective December 31, 2011, which was provided to Exall in an Evaluation Report dated February 2, 2012 (herein referred to as the "AJM Evaluation"). The oil and gas reserves and income projections were estimated by AJM in accordance with the Canadian Oil and Gas Handbook ("COGEH") and National Instrument 51-101 ("NI 51-101").

Summary of Reserve Value - Forecast Pricing

The following tables, extracted from the AJM Evaluation, summarize the Corporation's total reserves and net present values of future net reserves based on forecast pricing and costs as at December 31, 2011.  It should not be assumed that the estimated future net cash flow shown below is representative of the fair market value of the Company's properties. There is no assurance that such price and cost assumptions will be attained and variances, both positive and negative, could be material.

2012 Reserve Update

Exall has retained AJM / Deloite Petroleum Consultants ("AJM") to conduct an independent evaluation of Exall's oil and gas reserves effective January 31, 2012, as a result of the drilling success associated with the 3D Seismic well announced January 18^th, 2012. The results of this well were not included in the AJM Evaluation's Total Proved reserves as the well had not been on production by December 31, 2011, per NI 51-101 requirements. This well represents 389 MBOE of Total Proved plus Probable Reserves with a 10% NPV Before Tax value of $18.4 million. It is anticipated that the inclusion of this well in the Total Proved reserves as of January 31, 2012 will additionally move two Probable locations to the Proved Undeveloped catagory.

Sale of Texas Gas Properties

Exall has completed the sale of all of its interest in the Harris and Layton, Texas properties held by the Company to a private American company. The properties previously produced approximately 40 MCFPD of gas and associated liquids net to Exall.

Reader Advisory

This news release contains forward-looking statements, which are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those relating to results of operations and financial condition, capital spending, financing sources, commodity prices and costs of production. By their nature, forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect anticipated results in the future and, accordingly, actual results may differ materially from those predicted. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in such statements, and there is no assurance that actual results will be consistent with them. Such factors include fluctuating commodity prices, capital spending and costs of production, and other factors described in the Company's most recent Annual Information Form under the heading "Risk Factors" which has been filed electronically by means of the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval ("SEDAR") located at www.sedar.com. Such forward-looking statements are made as at the date of this news release, and the Company assumes no obligation to update or revise them, either publicly or otherwise, to reflect new events, information or circumstances, except as may be required under applicable securities law.

For the purposes of calculating unit costs, natural gas has been converted to a barrel of oil equivalent (boe) using 6,000 cubic feet equal to one barrel (6:1), unless otherwise stated. The boe conversion ratio of 6 mcf: 1 bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method and does not represent a value equivalency; therefore boe may be misleading if used in isolation. This conversion conforms to the Canadian Securities Regulators' National Instrument 51-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities.
