Redcliffe Exploration Inc. ("Redcliffe" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:RXP.A)
(TSX VENTURE:RXP.B) provides the following activity update:


Q4/07 Drilling and Completion Activity

Redcliffe previously announced the initiation of its fall drilling program,
pursuant to which the Company expected to drill 11-13 wells. A total of 12 (5.23
net) wells were spud between mid October and year-end, of which 5 (1.86 net)
were drilled in the Peace River Arch and 7 (3.37 net) in the general Pembina
area of central Alberta. All net well calculations are based upon revenue
interests unless the well was plugged and abandoned. In addition, Redcliffe
undertook the re-completion of 4 (3.07 net) wells in the Pembina area. Redcliffe
operated 69% of this activity. Results from the drilling program and associated
completion operations to date have yielded 8 gas wells (3.47 net), 2 oil wells
(1.22 net) and 2 dry holes (0.54 net) for an overall success rate of 83%. Some
of these wells, however, are not fully tested at this time. On the re-completion
program the Company was 100% successful with 3 gas wells (2.57 net) and 1 oil
well (0.50 net).


In the Gold Creek/Wapiti area located on the southern flank of the Peace River
Arch, Redcliffe participated in the drilling of 5 wells resulting in 3 (1.00
net) potential gas wells, 1 (0.72 net) potential oil well and 1 (0.14 net) dry
hole. The 3 potential gas wells were 13-24 (WI 30%) at Gold Creek, 4-14 (WI 25%)
at Elmworth and a non-operated well (WI 45%) in the Gold Creek area. The
non-operated well at Gold Creek has been completed and tested. This well tested
over 4,000 mcfpd from two zones and is anticipated to be placed on production in
early February. The well was drilled at no cost to Redcliffe and 2-3 potential
offsets are proposed for 2008. The potential oil well at 7-3 is scheduled to be
completed and tested by Redcliffe during the first half of February. The
operator is currently completing the 13-24 gas well in three zones. The
non-operated 4-14 potential gas well is expected to be completed and tested in
February.


In the Pembina area Redcliffe operated 6 of the 7 wells drilled during this
period. The non-operated 10-12 well (WI 50%) was drilled, completed and tested
at rates of 1,500 mcfpd. This well will be placed on production in February. Of
the 6 operated wells, 4 (1.97 net) were cased as potential gas wells, 1 (0.50
net) as a potential oil well and 1 (0.40 net) was plugged and abandoned. All of
these wells are currently being completed and tested.


On the re-completion front Redcliffe enjoyed very good success. In the Pembina
area, four wells (3.07 net) were acquired in 2007 through various transactions.
New zones were completed and tested in each of these wells. The 3 gas wells
16-21 (WI 100%), 7-1 (WI 100%) and 10-14 (WI 56.7%) were placed on production in
January at a combined rate of 2,500 mcfpd plus liquids. The 9-27 oil well (WI
50%) has also been recently placed on production at approximately 30 bopd.


Production Update

Redcliffe is currently producing approximately 4,100 mcfpd and 190 bopd (880
boepd). Near term non-operated compressor and facility construction in the Peace
River Arch area during early February is anticipated to add an additional 300 -
400 boepd from existing completed wells. Additional production volumes are
anticipated from wells currently in the completion planning process in the
Wapiti and Elmworth areas during the first quarter. Redcliffe anticipates
announcing its drilling and capital program for 2008 at the end of February once
these production and facility operations are completed.


On December 21, 2007 Redcliffe announced, pursuant to the policies of the TSX
Venture Exchange and the Company's stock option plan, the granting of 2,316,000
options to purchase Class A shares at an exercise price of $0.40 per share to
certain officers, directors, employees and consultants for a period of 5 years.
Subsequently, the Board of Directors has resolved to amend these options
increasing the exercise price to $0.45 per share and to reduce the option grant
to an aggregate of 2,251,000 options, of which 1,556,000 will be granted to
officers and directors. Following the completion of this option grant, the
Company will have 5,514,583 options outstanding at an average exercise price of
$0.48 per share.


Redcliffe also announces the resignation of their Controller. The Vice-President
of Finance will assume this responsibility until a new Controller is hired.


Redcliffe's strategy is to build shareholder value through internally generated
exploration and development drilling, and through selective acquisitions. Since
inception in late 2006, Redcliffe has explored for liquid-rich, multi- zone gas
at depths of 1,500 - 2,800 meters in the Pembina and Peace River Arch areas of
northwestern Alberta. In 2008 our strategy will be to focus on drilling existing
prospects and expanding our deep exploration opportunities in the Peace River
Arch area. Redcliffe currently has outstanding 54,405,507 Class A shares and
1,493,831 Class B shares.
