Results of Operations 

The Company reported net earnings of $2,994,437 (Prior Period - $1,273,854) and

Petroleum and Natural Gas ("P&NG") Revenue

The Company reported gross P&NG revenues of $11,583,019 (Prior Period -
$6,041,722) for the Current Period, all from its Wolfberry Project wells. In
conjunction with the gross revenues, the Company reported royalties paid of

expenses of $994,679 (Prior Period - $671,416) for the Current Period.


Average realized prices for the Current Period, were $101 per barrel ("Bbl") of
oil and $4.42 per thousand cubic feet ("Mcf") of natural gas, compared to $88
per Bbl of oil and $4.76 per Mcf of natural gas, for the Prior Year. The natural
gas selling price is reflective of the thermal value of gas and associated
products sold.


Liquidity

The Company has a $50 million reducing revolving line of credit with Texas
Capital Bank. As at September 30, 2013, the line of credit provided a borrowing
base of $32 million. There is currently $29 million drawn on the line of credit.


The Company anticipates financing the majority of its Wolfberry Project capital
expenditures through operating revenues, upward borrowing base revisions on the
line of credit and cash on hand.


In the Current Period, the Company received CDN$2,564,099 from the exercise of
3,662,998 warrants at a price of CDN$0.70 per common share. Subsequent to
September 30, 2013, the Company has received CDN$10,575,175 from the exercise of
15,107,393 warrants at a price of CDN$0.70 per common share.


The Company's working capital deficit has significantly increased over the past
several quarters; however, it is the Company's view that the value of its P&NG
holdings is increasing at a rate significantly greater than the rate of increase
of the working capital deficit. It is the Company's objective to sell portions
of its proven acreage in order to manage its working capital position and to
redeploy funds to its unproven acreage, where the Company believes it can
achieve the best returns for shareholders.


Operations Highlights 

Wolfberry Project 

The Company is currently carrying out a rapid oil and gas development program on
its Wolfberry Project, where the Company now has 79 gross (33.0 net) wells
tied-in and producing. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, a total
of 9 gross (3.75 net) new wells were tied into production. At September 30,
2013, the Company had 4 gross (1.78 net) wells spud or drilled awaiting
completion and/or tie-in. 


The Company's current plans call for 23 gross (9.72 net) Wolfberry Project wells
to spud in the balance of fiscal 2014 (December 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014) at an
estimated cost to the Company of approximately $23.3 million. Pursuant to the
terms of the Wolfberry Project Participation Agreement, the Company's funding
amount for the 9.72 net wells is equivalent to 11.11 wells. The gross cost of a
Wolfberry well is currently approximately $2.1 million. 


Mitchell Ranch Project 

The Company's Mitchell Ranch project covers approximately 102,000 acres of P&NG
leases located primarily in Mitchell County, West Texas where the Company has a
50% working interest in approximately 67,000 acres, and a 1.25% overriding
royalty interest on approximately 35,000 acres subject to a term assignment with
a large, independent exploration and production company. 


The Company currently has one (0.5 net) producing well, the Spade 17#1, where
several rounds of completions have been carried out. During the Current Period,
the Company received $24,523 of net revenue from the project. The Mitchell Ranch
Project is in the exploration and evaluation stage and as such, the net revenues
have been credited to capitalized costs.


As a result of significant new drilling activity in the general area around the
Mitchell Ranch Project, the timing of new wells has been pushed out in order to
best incorporate the results of other operators into the development plan on the
Mitchell Ranch Project. The Company has participated in a seismic shoot over a
portion of the ranch as a preparatory step for a new well program. Initial
processing and interpretation of the new seismic data and of the existing
seismic data covering much of the ranch is expected in early 2014.


About Lynden 

Lynden Energy Corp. is in the business of acquiring, exploring and developing
petroleum and natural gas rights and properties. The Company has various working
interests in the Wolfberry Project and Mitchell Ranch Project, located in the
Permian Basin in West Texas, USA. 


NI 51-101 requires that we make the following disclosure: we use oil equivalents
(boe) to express quantities of natural gas and crude oil in a common unit. A
conversion ratio of 6 mcf of natural gas to 1 barrel of oil is used. Boe may be
misleading, particularly if used in isolation. The conversion ratio is based on
an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip
and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.


FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS DISCLAIMER: This news release contains statements
comprising forward-looking information (within the meaning of Canadian
securities legislation). The reader is cautioned that assumptions used in the
preparation of such statements, although considered accurate at the time of
preparation, may prove incorrect, and the actual results may vary materially
from the statements made herein. Achievement of the Company's objective to sell
portions of its proven acreage is subject to demand at the relevant time for the
portions offered for sale. Plans to spud 23 gross (9.72 net) Wolfberry Project
wells from December 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014 and expected timelines relating to
oil and gas operations are subject to the customary risks of the oil and gas
industry, economic and industry conditions at the time of drilling, prevailing
and anticipated prices for oil and gas, the availability of sufficient capital
resources for drilling prospects, the Company's financial results and the
availability of lease extensions and renewals on reasonable terms. For a more
