Cub Energy Inc. ("Cub" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:KUB) announces that
KUB-Gas LLC ("KUB-Gas") achieved a significant milestone in daily production
-over 1 million cubic metres per day ("MMcm/d") or approximately 36 million
cubic feet per day ("MMcf/d") after recent tie-ins. This equates to
approximately 10.8 MMcf/d net production to Cub from KUB-Gas. Cub has a 30%
ownership interest in KUB-Gas through its 30% shareholding of KUBGAS Holdings
Limited.


Although production has increased, and will continue, Cub and its partner have
decided to suspend current developmental field operations to ensure the
continued safety of employees and assets during the ongoing regional conflict in
eastern Ukraine. The declared ceasefire between the Ukraine government and
pro-Russian separatists has not materialized, forcing a situation where KUB-Gas
contractors are refusing to support continued developmental operations at this
time. As such, KUB-Gas is continuing with production, but suspending
developmental field operations until the situation stabilizes. KUB-Gas will
suspend operations on the following: 




--  The S6 zone in the O-11 well has been perforated and testing commenced.
    Upon perforation, the well had a strong air blow then flowed gas to
    surface. The well was shut in for a pressure build up and the pressure
    had not stabilized at the time of this release. No additional tests will
    be undertaken at this time. 
--  Surface casing has been set in the NM-4 well at a depth of 100.2 metres,
    and the rig has been demobilized. 



Additionally, the Vergunskoye field, which is located in the area close to the
city of Lugansk, has been temporarily shut in. This field's production rate of 4
Mcf/d represents less than 1% of the Company's total production. 


Western Ukraine

The Company's western Ukraine wells on the Rusko-Komarovske ("RK") field (RK-2,
RK-6, RK-21 and RK-22) continue to produce and drilling operations at RK-1 are
on schedule. 


Mikhail Afendikov, Cub's Chief Executive Officer said, "We are very pleased to
reach this high production milestone. While we are disappointed in our temporary
suspension of our field operations in eastern Ukraine, we must consider the
safety of our employees. We are pleased to continue production and hope to
return to normal operations in eastern Ukraine soon."
