Edge Resources Inc. Announces Record Quarterly Results Debt Restructuring, and Production and Reserve Update

03/09/2013 2:00pm

Marketwired Canada


Edge Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:EDE)(AIM:EDG) ("Edge" or the "Company") reports
record financial and operating results for the three month period ending June
30, 2013. Edge is also pleased to announce that it has lowered the interest rate
on its loan with a subordinated lender and extended the due date of that loan
until 2017. Additionally, the Company has achieved record operating and
financial results during the last quarter due to lower corporate and operating
costs and improved revenue.


Production testing at the Company's vertical oil well drilled at the end of
March 2013 is continuing, posting very strong results. The well is producing at
a restricted rate of over 100 bopd - up to 114 bopd - with water cuts below 50%,
and dropping. The Company is thrilled with these results; and hence, has
intentions to drill the first 25 of up to 100 wells in Eye Hill, Saskatchewan,
where it has 100% ownership of the mineral rights and extensive 3D seismic
coverage over the entire property.


The Company also updated its NI51-101 Reserves Report, effective March 31, 2013.
In Eye Hill (formerly known as Primate), Saskatchewan, the Company's core area,
the Company increased Proved Reserve Value1 by 225% to $24.1 million and
increased Proved+Probable Reserve Value1 by 173% to $60.1 million. On a
Corporate basis, the Company's Total Proved Reserve Value1 increased 30% to
$40.2 million and Total Proved+Probable Reserve Value1 increased 37% to $89.4
million.


Detailed operating and financial results are presented in Edge's unaudited
consolidated quarterly financial statements and related Management Discussion &
Analysis ("MD&A"), which can be accessed on the Company's website
(www.edgeres.com) and on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).

Summary:



--  The Company continued production testing of its vertical well in Eye
    Hill. The Company is extremely pleased with the results as production
    has reached 114 bopd and water cuts have continually dropped. Water
    production is currently estimated at less than 50% of total fluid, which
    is well below the average for the area and well below the Company's
    original expectations. The Company feels it is being conservative with
    this production test and is currently restricting the flow rate to
    maximize reservoir life and long-term productivity of the well. Because
    of the low water cuts and very high deliverability, the Company feels
    confident that this newly discovered reservoir is highly unique. 
    
--  Effective August 29, 2013, the Company consolidated, improved and
    extended the $8 million in loans previously held by its subordinated
    lender, which will drastically reduce the Company's working capital
    deficit (not reflected in this quarter's results). The move was made to
    reduce the Company's reliance on its revolving facility, as the Canadian
    lending environment for junior oil and gas firms is expected to continue
    tightening. The two previous loans were consolidated into a single loan
    and the annual interest rate was lowered to 10%, simple interest.
    Neither the interest nor the principal are payable until the end of the
    term. The Company has the option to pay out the loan, or a portion
    thereof, at any time, without penalty. Three were no fees associated
    with restructuring the loans or for initiating the original loans. The
    lender is also a substantial, long-standing shareholder of the Company
    and this restructuring indicates his liberal support, flexibility and
    willingness to see the Company proliferate through the successful
    drilling of the remainder of the heavy oil locations in Eye Hill,
    Saskatchewan. 
    
--  The Company achieved record quarterly revenue of $2.3 million for the
    three months ended June 30, 3013. The Company also set another quarterly
    record, Cash Generated from Operations, at $1.03 million. Netbacks on
    oil production improved by 120% to $37.46/bbl compared to the previous
    quarter, reflecting significantly improved operating costs and stronger
    revenues per barrel. Operating cost improvements were also made on
    natural gas properties, where operating costs decreased 21% compared to
    the previous quarter. Natural gas netbacks showed drastic improvement
    from $0.00/mcf to $0.92/mcf quarter-over-quarter.

Barrel ("bbl") of oil equivalent ("boe") amounts may be misleading particularly
if used in isolation. All boe conversions in this report are calculated using a
conversion of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one equivalent barrel of
oil (6 mcf=1 bbl) and is based on an energy conversion method primarily
applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the
well head. Barrels of oil per day ("bopd') is estimated daily oil production.
