Petro Uno Resources Ltd. Announces Closing of $11.5 Million Equity Financing

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN
THE UNITED STATES


Petro Uno Resources Ltd. ("Petro Uno" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:PUP) is
pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced special warrant
financing. The Company entered into an agreement on November 7, 2010 with a
syndicate of underwriters led by Macquarie Capital Markets Canada Ltd. and
including Canaccord Genuity Corp. and Paradigm Capital Inc. (collectively, the
"Underwriters") to issue, on a bought deal private placement basis, 16,670,000
special warrants ("Special Warrants") of the Company at a price of $0.60 per
Special Warrant (the "Issue Price") for gross proceeds of $10,002,000 (the
"Offering"). The Company also granted the Underwriters an over-allotment option
entitling the Underwriters to acquire, at the Issue Price, up to an additional
2,500,500 Special Warrants. The over-allotment option was exercised in full by
the Underwriters, with gross proceeds of $11,502,300 received by Petro Uno on
the closing of the Offering.


Each Special Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share of Petro
Uno without payment of any additional consideration and without further action.
The Special Warrants will be deemed exercised on the earlier of (i) the day on
which a final passport receipt (the "Receipt") evidencing a receipt for the
prospectus on behalf of each of the applicable securities regulatory authorities
is issued, and (ii) four months and a day following the closing date. Until a
Receipt is issued for such prospectus, the Special Warrants will be subject to a
four month hold period under applicable Canadian securities laws, expiring on
March 30, 2011.


The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to file and clear a final
prospectus in each applicable jurisdiction to qualify the common shares issuable
upon exercise of the Special Warrants and obtain the Receipt by December 31,
2010 (the "Qualification Deadline"). If the Receipt is not obtained on or prior
to the Qualification Deadline, the Company shall issue to each holder of Special
Warrants, for no additional cost and without further action on the part of such
holder, an additional 0.1 of a common share for each common share to be issued
to such holder pursuant to the Special Warrant held by such holder.


In consideration for their efforts, the Underwriters received a cash commission
of 6% of the gross proceeds. The Company also issued broker warrants ("Broker
Warrants") to the Underwriters equaling 6% of the number of Special Warrants
sold, such Broker Warrants being at an exercise price equal to the Issue Price,
for a period of 12 months from the closing date.


Petro Uno plans to use the net proceeds from the Offering to continue its
ongoing drilling program in the Viking Formation in the Dodsland area of west
central Saskatchewan.


This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of any
offer to buy the securities in the United States. The securities offered have
not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 and
may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an
applicable exemption from registration requirements of such Act.
