Forward-looking statements may include estimates, plans, anticipations,
expectations, intentions, opinions, forecasts, projections, guidance or other
similar statements that are not statements of fact. Although the Company

    In this news release, reserves and production data are commonly stated in
barrels of oil equivalent ("boe") using a six to one conversion ratio when
converting thousands of cubic feet of natural gas ("Mcf") to barrels of oil
("bbl") and a one to one conversion ratio for natural gas liquids ("NGLs" or
"ngls"). Such conversion may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation.
A boe conversion ratio of 6 Mcf: 1 bbl is based on energy equivalency
conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not
represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.

    The TSX does not accept responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of
    this news release.
