UNITED STATES. ANY FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS RESTRICTION MAY CONSTITUTE A
VIOLATION OF U.S. SECURITIES LAWS.


Sahara Energy Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:SAH) (PINK SHEETS:SAHRF) ("Sahara") and Mirage
Energy Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:MGE) (PINK SHEETS:MRGYF) ("Mirage"), are pleased to
announce that they have completed a previously announced plan of arrangement
(the "Arrangement") pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act
(Alberta) to merge the two companies into a single larger entity. The
Arrangement is expected to result in Sahara having improved cash flow through
significant operating synergies and general and administrative savings. It is
also expected that as a result of the Arrangement Sahara will have improved
access to capital and a larger production and reserve base to enable future
growth.


Under the terms of the Arrangement, Sahara acquired all of the issued and
outstanding common shares of Mirage (the "Mirage Shares") in exchange for the
common shares of Sahara (the "Sahara Shares") such that each shareholder of
Mirage received 0.5 of a Sahara Share for each Mirage Share held as of the
effective date of the Arrangement. Upon completion of the Arrangement, Mirage
became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sahara. In addition, Sahara assumed Mirage's
obligations pursuant to outstanding convertible debentures of Mirage such that
the debentures are now convertible into securities of Sahara.


A special meeting of shareholders of Mirage was held March 28, 2008 where such
shareholders approved the Arrangement. Following the meeting, the Arrangement
was also approved by the Alberta Court of Queen's Bench.

assessment of the future plans and operations of Sahara and Mirage and the
benefits of the proposed transaction, contains forward looking statements. By
