Penészlek area operations update

/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/

CALGARY, April 1 /CNW/ - DualEx Energy International Inc. ("DualEx") (TSX-V: "DXE") announces that its subsidiary PetroHungaria kft is currently drilling the PEN-106 well in the Penészlek area of the Nyirség exploration permits in eastern Hungary.

The target of the well is the Miocene volcaniclastic formation, within a structure defined on 3-D seismic acquired in 2008 and similar to that proven by the PEN-105 well. The well is planned for a total depth of approximately 1,500 metres and, if productive, will be connected to the existing Penészlek facilities by a two kilometre pipeline, for which the permit has already been obtained.

Once the rig has finished the PEN-106 well, it is scheduled to return to PEN-101 to complete the remedial work necessary to enable further testing of the Miocene volcaniclastic reservoir.

The partners' interests in the Penészlek project are:
