Shoal Point 3K-39 Well Update Western Newfoundland

Shoal Point Energy Ltd. ("Shoal Point") (CNSX:SHP) announce takes pleasure in
presenting the following information on the Green Point oil-in-shale project in
the Port au Port Bay area in Western Newfoundland:
- Drilling: The DLMC et al Shoal Point 3K-39 well is currently at the
surface casing point. The surface hole is on target and the next
operation will be to run and cement 244.5mm casing to surface. Since
the current well is twinning the earlier 2K-39 well, the geology in the
two wells correlates very closely, as expected.
- Project Research: In order to maximize our understanding of the Green
Point shale play, and to plan the current well, the project group has
conducted or commissioned a number of investigations. These include
outcrop sampling; petro-physical re-interpretation of well logs;
geophysical re-mapping; resource estimating and a re-evaluation of the
K-39 drillstem test.
As part of this program, we have examined closely the information
provided by the 2K-39 well. In the course of so doing, it has been
noted that certain statements to the effect that 2K-39 flowed some 54
bbls of oil into the wellbore are not substantiated by the well
records. In fact no oil flowed from the formation into the wellbore and
the well was at all times under control. The source of the oil which
was observed in the mud was from oil liberated by cuttings from the
thick oil-bearing shale being penetrated by the drill.
"We are pleased that the drilling of 3K-39 is progressing well and confirming
the results of the earlier 2K-39 borehole, and look forward to our complete
evaluation of the Green Point target over the next days and weeks. Our
geological team in Calgary has recently completed a comprehensive review of data
from wells and outcrop in the area of Port au Port Bay and we are very pleased
with the results. 3K-39 is designed to greatly enhance that database and provide
us with key information on the amount of oil that may be recovered from the
unconventional Green Point reservoir" said George Langdon," CEO of Shoal Point
Energy Ltd.
