Yangarra Provides an Operations Update, Increases its Credit Facility and Files its Annual Information Form

CALGARY, April 25, 2013 /CNW/ - Yangarra Resources Ltd. ("Yangarra" or the "Company") (TSX-V:YGR) provides an operations update, announces an increase to its credit facility and files its Annual Information Form.

Operations Update

Yangarra's new Ferrier gas processing facility (100% working interest), constructed under budget and ahead of schedule, was put into service April 10, 2013.  The Company's facility is currently ramping up to its full capacity of 12 mmcf/d with six of eight standing wells now on-stream.  Current Company production is approximately 2,500 boe/d.  

First quarter production is expected to average 1,800 boe/d, with approximately 200 boe/d shut in due to the drilling of new wells on existing pad sites.  The Company expects minimal capital expenditures during Q2 2013 with the contracted drilling rig racked for breakup. 

Credit Facility Increase

Yangarra has entered into an amended and restated credit facility agreement ("Facility") with Alberta Treasury Branches ("ATB") which will increase its credit facilities to $50 million.  The Company's credit facility was increased to $45 million immediately, with a further increase based on budgeted production levels in September 2013.  The other terms of the Facility remain unchanged. The next scheduled review is May 31, 2014 and the current amount drawn on the facility is approximately $37 million.
