UNITED HUNTER OIL AND GAS CORP. ANNOUNCES ENTERING INTO OF AN EXCLUSIVE OPTION AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE OIL AND GAS INTERESTS IN ARCHER COUNTY, TEXAS

United Hunter Oil & Gas Corp. has entered into an exclusive option agreement through its U.S. subsidiary, United Hunter Texas LLC (UHT), with Wilson Operating Company and certain other vendors for the option to purchase 100 per cent of the vendors' oil and gas interests in the Hull Silk Sikes 4,300-foot sand unit (HSS unit) and other rights in and related to the 4,300-foot sand zone, which is the same zone covered by the HSS unit, in Archer county, Texas.

The HSS unit is approximately 12 miles southwest of Wichita Falls, Tex., and comprises roughly 2,300 acres in a single operating unit. United Hunter has been advised that the overall size of the reservoir is approximately 5,200 acres in size, and the HSS unit, which sits in the heart of the field, has produced approximately 30 million barrels since its discovery in 1938 through primary and secondary efforts.

The option, acquired for a fee of $75,000 (U.S.), provides for UHT the exclusive right to purchase the property interest following a due diligence period ending March 31, 2017, by way of two purchase and sale agreements (PSA). As part of negotiating the option, the terms and conditions of the PSAs have been negotiated. The combined purchase price for the property interest is $13-million, subject to any closing cost adjustments as defined in the PSAs, payable over a five-year period from closing. UHT would receive an estimated 80.5-per-cent net revenue interest, which includes an enhanced oil recovery tax credit of 2.3 per cent of the market value of the total operated basis from the State of Texas.

Timothy Turner, chief executive officer of the corporation, stated: "We believe a redevelopment program targeting bypassed primary oil would potentially be profitable and would provide for rapid growth in production. Furthermore, a modern water flood, based on developed five-spot patterns, utilizing modern surveillance techniques and well conformance practices, would recover substantial reserves and significantly increase the field's recovery factor."

UHT will be conducting its due diligence activities over the intervening period, reviewing legal, title, regulatory, environmental and other related matters. As part of its diligence process and concurrent with the signing of the option, UHT has contracted Forrest A. Garb & Associates Inc. (FGA), an international petroleum engineering and geologic consulting firm staffed by registered engineers and geologists, to prepare a more detailed evaluation and report on this proposed acquisition in accordance with the guidelines set out in National Instrument 51-101 (standards of disclosure for oil and gas activities). FGA's report will also focus on the gross barrels of total proven reserves that remain recoverable from the property interest, being defined as a quantity of oil estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible.

The exercise of the option is subject to completion of due diligence, including diligence on title, final negotiation of the adjusted purchase price, United Hunter board approval, financing, and TSX Venture Exchange approval.

Further details will be provided as they become available.

We seek Safe Harbor.
