Edge Resources Inc. Kicks Off Multi-well Drilling Programme

Edge Resources Inc. ("Edge" or the "Company") is very pleased to announce that, following from the oversubscribed financing (announced November 18, 2013), it has already secured a drilling rig for a multi-well drilling programme in Eye Hill, Saskatchewan. The Company is planning on drilling a minimum of three wells back-to-back in December 2013.

The planned locations are within a few hundred meters of the existing, vertical well that has far exceeded management's expectations; thus, instilling a very high degree of confidence in the success of this programme.

The target locations have been chosen based on the Company's intense reinterpretation of previous geological and geophysical models of Edge's, and nearby, reservoirs. Additionally, the Company has incorporated its extensive 2D and 3D seismic data and the exceptional production results from the previously drilled wells in Eye Hill East.

The Company is planning on drilling a minimum of three wells, all of which should be drilled, completed and equipped for production testing prior to year end. Given the very short lead time between closing the financing and mobilising the drilling rig, the Company hopes to add additional wells to the programme if time, regulatory approvals, weather and rig availability will allow.

Brad Nichol, President & CEO of Edge, commented, "I am impressed with our team's ability to move so quickly and get a rig mobilised, wells licensed, locations constructed and equipment ordered all on a moment's notice. Their agility should allow us to get at least three wells drilled - and hopefully producing - before Christmas. I am equally excited about the prospect of drilling three more wells that produce just like our latest vertical in Eye Hill East. We are drilling these three wells very near the existing producer that exceeded our expectations so we're hoping for a nice surprise on these next three, as well. We expect to update our shareholders on these three wells in January."

An annual stock option grant is the only compensation directors receive for their services. As part of its annual grant, which has not actually occurred since August, 2011, and to replace soon-expiring options, the Company also announces the granting of 3,200,000 stock options to directors and officers of the Company. The options are exercisable at $0.11 per share, vest in quarters over a three-year period and expire five years after the date of grant.

As part of the option grant Brad Nichol, Chris Cooper and Scott Reeves will receive 1,500,000, 250,000 and 250,000 options respectively. Following this option grant the directors will hold options over Common Shares as follows:
