Tuscany spuds third Evesham Dina oil well

CALGARY, June 24 /CNW/ - Tuscany Energy Ltd. (TSXV: "TUS") wishes to announce that it has commenced drilling the horizontal Dina oil well, 91/15-16-39-27W3, located in the Evesham field, Saskatchewan. Tuscany is the operator and has a 60 % WI.

This will be the third horizontal Dina oil well that Tuscany has drilled in the Evesham Dina oil pool, which is a 100 meter offset to the 91/16-16-39-27W4 well, which is currently producing 50 Bopd and to date has produced 9,000 bbl of oil.

Tuscany has installed water disposal facilities to reduce operating costs and plans up to drill three additional horizontal Dina oil wells in 2010.

Based on Tuscany's interpretation of the geology and seismic, up to 30 wells could be drilled on Tuscany's lands, to fully develop the pool.

As a consequence, actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of factors is not exhausted. Additional information on these and other factors that could effect the Company's operations and financial results are included in reports on file with Canadian securities regulatory authorities and may be accessed through the SEDAR website (www.sedar.com) and at the Company's website (www.tuscanyenergy.com).

Where amounts are expressed on a barrel of oil equivalent (boe) basis, natural gas volumes have been converted to barrels of oil at six thousand cubic feet (mcf) per barrel (bbl). Boe figures may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion of six thousand cubic feet per barrel is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. References to oil in this discussion include crude oil and natural gas liquids (NGLs).
