Enhanced Oil Resources Inc. Announces USD $5,500,000 Private Placement

/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/

HOUSTON, April 9, 2015 /CNW/ - Enhanced Oil Resources Inc. (TSX-V: EOR; OTCQX: EORIF) (the "Company") announces that it will conduct a non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") of common shares (the "Shares") of the Company at a price of CAD $0.05 per share to raise gross proceeds of up to USD $5,500,000. The number of Shares to be issued will be determined by dividing the gross proceeds received by the US Dollar equivalent of CAD $0.05 on the Private Placement closing date.

The proceeds from the Private Placement will be used for operating expenditures and for general working capital purposes.

It is anticipated that insiders of the Company and their joint actors may subscribe for up to 20% of the Shares pursuant to the Private Placement. The participation of each insider will be subject to the approval of directors of the Company who are independent of such insider. Any such participation would be considered to be a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101"). As the distribution of the securities to the insiders is for cash with a fair market value of not more than $2,500,000, the Company anticipates that the sale of securities to insiders pursuant to the Private Placement will be exempt from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101.  No new insiders are anticipated to be created, nor will there be any change of control as a result of the Private Placement.

All securities issued in connection with the Private Placement will be subject to a minimum four month hold period.  The private placement is subject to all required approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
