Southern Pacific Resource Corp. provided an operational update for the month of June, 2013 with respect to the Company's STP-McKay and STP-Senlac Thermal Projects.

Total Corporate Production

Total Company production averaged 4,347 bbl/d for the month ended June, 2013, which is a 5% increase from the previous month.

STP-McKay Thermal Project - Production

Production increased 16% over the prior month, averaging 1,187 bbl/d based on field estimates. A single well pair, 1P1, was treated in late May with a High Pressure Steam Stimulation ("HPSS") which involved injecting a finite amount of steam at a pressure above the current maximum operating pressure of the project. The purpose of the HPSS was to improve the communication between the injector and producer, in addition to increasing lateral conformance. The well pair was placed into SAGD production on June 4th and has been running steadily in the mode since. The HPSS appears to have successfully improved this well pair to the point where it can now begin steam chamber development and operate in full time SAGD.
