Edge Resources Inc. Initiates Drilling Program to Further Develop New Pool Discoveries

Edge Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:EDE)(AIM:EDG) ("Edge" or the "Company") is
pleased to announce that it has moved a drilling rig and spudded the first of
several planned drilling locations in Primate, Saskatchewan.


Resulting from a recently-shot 3D seismic program (announced December 3, 2012),
the Company has discovered what it believes to be three new oil pools in an area
the Company calls Asset East. The rig has been brought in to start the
development program of Asset East and is drilling the first of what the Company
expects will be many development and delineation wells drilled into these oil
pools.


The Company believes these new pools hold a significant amount of reserve value
and net present value.


Log and production information from the initial wells can be used to define a
much larger developmental drilling program, which could require up to an
additional 80 vertical locations to fully develop the pools.


Brad Nichol, President and CEO of Edge commented, "We are excited to continue
upon our initial drilling and seismic successes resulting in the initial pool
discoveries. Now the team is focused on the longer- term development of Asset
East in Primate. Along those lines, we are also pleased to have received final
approval for a water disposal program in Asset East, which fits very nicely into
the long-term development plan for these pools."


As a key component to the full development plan for Asset East, the Company is
very pleased to have recently received approval to inject produced water, if
required, into a nearby existing wellbore on Company-owned lands. If water
disposal is required, this approval is anticipated to drastically reduce the
cost of water handling as the field is more fully developed.


The Company has a 100% working interest in all of their Primate, Saskatchewan
properties - a total of 20 gross/net sections (12,800 acres).

Barrel ("bbl") of oil equivalent ("boe") amounts may be misleading particularly
