TAG Oil Conference Call to Discuss Operations & Exploration Activities

VANCOUVER, May 13, 2014 /CNW/ - TAG Oil Ltd. (TSX: TAO) and (OTCQX: TAOIF), announces that due to the considerable shareholder and investor interest relating to TAG's $60 million development and exploration program announced on May 7, 2014, the Company will hold a telephone conference call to discuss these operations, in further detail.

TAG's fiscal year 2015 capital spending plan is fully-funded. This program consists of low-risk development drilling, which will continue to fund and risk manage the Company's higher-impact opportunities that TAG was established to explore. The Company's deep Kapuni prospects, shallow-water offshore Taranaki and unconventional opportunities in New Zealand all have the potential to transform TAG substantially upon success.

Please call in ten minutes before the conference call starts and stay on the line (an operator will be available to assist you should you have questions of management during the call). In addition questions can be forwarded by e-mail in advance to the e-mail address provided below.
