Enbridge Buys $20-Million Land Parcel in Northwest B.C. & Updates on Pacific Northwest LNG- Petronas's Lelu Island Project

Highbank Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:HBK)(FRANKFURT:V7O) (the "Company" or
"Highbank") announces as reported in the March 10, 2014 Vancouver Sun
http://ow.ly/utPoK that Enbridge has purchased a $20-million parcel of land on
the northwest B.C. coast, a signal it may intend to join the push to export
liquefied natural gas ("LNG") to Asia.


Numerous LNG plants have been proposed on the coast, including several major
pipeline projects from TransCanada, Spectra Energy and Pacific Northern Gas. The
majority of these projects are within the service area for delivery of
aggregates (sand/gravel) from Highbank's Swamp Point North Aggregate Project. 


The 64 hectares of land purchase by Enbridge Western Access Inc. at Grassy Point
(35 miles south of HBK's Swamp Point North project), is adjacent to larger
parcels of land where Australia's Woodside Petroleum Ltd. (see Highbank's news
release dated Jan. 21/14), and China National Offshore Oil Corp. ("CNOOC")-owned
Nexen (see Highbank's news release dated Nov.14/13) have inked purchase
agreements with the B.C. government for the Crown lands. Nexen owns 60% of the
proposed LNG project at Grassy Point, dubbed Aurora LNG. The other 40% is owned
by Japanese companies INPEX Corp. and JGC Corp.


Japan is the largest importer of LNG in the world by a wide margin, according to
the International Gas Union's 2013 World LNG report.


PACIFIC NORTHWEST LNG - PETRONAS OWNED PROGRESS ENERGY RESOURCES CORP.

The Pacific Northwest LNG ("PacNW") project, led by Malaysian state-controlled
Petronas, situated on Lelu Island (near Port Edward, southwest of the Port of
Prince Rupert) has achieved a significant milestone in the life of the project.
The filing of a project application with British Columbian and Canadian
environmental assessment agencies, is a critical step in the environmental
review of the $11 billion project. Once the PacNW LNG application is accepted by
the provincial agency, the clock starts ticking on a 180-day review, which is
expected to include public meetings on the project. Petronas wants to make a
final investment decision by the end of the year. Feedback during the review
will be sought from the public and First Nations, and a similar process at the
federal level. See http://ow.ly/utSwv


Furthermore, Petronas's Malaysian state oil firm's president and chief executive
Shamsul Azhar Abbas recently announced that it has agreed to sell a 25% stake in
Canadian Progress Energy Corp. ("Progress") to an Indian company. He did not
name the company or the price at which Petronas will sell the stake in its
Canadian shale gas assets. Petronas is looking to share some of the costs of
bringing cheap LNG from North America to energy-hungry Asia. See

Previously Petronas announced another new partner in the PacNW LNG project.
Petroleum Brunei had signed on as a new partner and is acquiring a 3% stake in
the project. Also, earlier this year, Tokyo-based Japan Petroleum Exploration
picked up a 10% interest. As part of the deal, Petroleum Brunei agreed to buy a
3% share of PacNW LNG's output for at least 20 years. Petroleum Brunei is also
scooping up a 3% stake in Progress's northeastern B.C. natural gas assets.
Petronas bought Calgary-based Progress last year for $5.2 billion. See
