Condor Petroleum Inc. ("Condor" or the "Corporation") (TSX:CPI) is pleased to
announce the signing of a Letter of Intent ("LOI") to purchase a 90% interest in
an existing oil storage and rail terminal in Kazakhstan. The oil terminal is
located 12 kilometers northwest of Condor's Zharkamys West 1 Contract Territory
(the "Zharkamys Territory").


The terminal includes 1,200 m3 (7,500 barrels) of oil storage capacity and is
designed to load 4 rail cars simultaneously. The terminal has a rail spur which
ties directly into the main rail line between Aktobe and Atyrau. In addition to
providing expected transportation cost savings, the terminal's existing access
to the rail system should expand Condor's future oil marketing options.


The LOI is subject to certain conditions including facility upgrades and
re-licensing of the terminal, and the execution of a definitive purchase and
sale agreement.
