The borrowing base increase to US$85 million provides the Company with further funding flexibility for its development program at the Sugarkane Field Eagle Ford project in Texas and for general corporate purposes.

No funds are currently drawn from this facilty.

The increase in the borrowing base flows from recent upgrades in the Company's proven and proven developed producing reserves and increasing production. Average gross production for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 was 4,800 boe/d which has increased for the month of April to 6,800 boe/d.
