Reserve update

Exillon Energy is pleased to announce that the estimate of the total proved ("1P") recoverable oil reserves within its Exillon WS license area has increased 64% from the previous estimate to 40 million barrels. The estimate of the total proved plus probable ("2P") recoverable oil reserves within Exillon WS has increased 9% from the previous estimate to 80 million barrels, and the estimate of the total proved plus probable plus possible ("3P") recoverable oil reserves within Exillon WS has increased 8% from the previous estimate to 294 million barrels.
