CALGARY, May 18 /CNW/ - Wavefire.com Ltd. (the "Company") (TSXV-WAF.H) is pleased to announce that it proposes to undertake a non-brokered private placement to raise $2.5 million. The Company withdrew the private placement of 40,000,000 units at $0.06 per unit, which was announced on December 18, 2009. Instead, the Company now proposes to issue 14,705,882 common shares at $0.17 per share to a director of the Company.

The proceeds of the financing will be used to fund the testing and completion of the Kirkwall 5-20-27-5 W4 well, which was drilled in December 2009, the drilling, testing and completion of two additional wells in the Acadia Area of Alberta, and for working capital. The Company has the right under a farm-in agreement to earn 100% interest (subject to existing encumbrances) in the drilling spacing unit and a 65% interest in the balance of the three sections of land in the Acadia Area lands by incurring 100% of the drilling and abandonment costs.

The proceeds of the financing will also be used to support the Company's application for reactivation on the TSX Venture Exchange. The closing of the financing is subject to a number of conditions including shareholder and regulatory approval.
