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


Questfire Energy Corp. ("Questfire" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:Q.A) (TSX
VENTURE:Q.B) is pleased to announce that it has signed a Purchase and Sale
Agreement to acquire approximately 5,900 boe/d of conventional producing assets
from Advantage Oil & Gas Ltd. for total consideration consisting of $55 million
of cash, a $27 million Convertible Senior Secured Debenture (the "Debenture")
and 1.5 million Class B shares. All customary closing adjustments between the
effective date of November 1, 2012 and the closing date will be applied to the
Debenture. Questfire intends to fund the cash portion of the purchase price
through bank financing. Closing is expected to occur near the end of Q1 2013. 


The assets to be acquired are located in Alberta, have a relatively low
production decline and are comprised of approximately 80% natural gas and 20%
light oil and natural gas liquids. The majority of the production is operated
with high working interest. The assets include a total net land base of
approximately 300,000 acres (469 sections), a significant 2D and 3D seismic
database and significant oil and gas gathering and processing infrastructure.
Forecast cash-flow from operations for the producing assets for calendar 2013 is
approximately $23 million. 


This acquisition will transform Questfire from a micro-cap start-up public oil
and gas company to a mid-size producer with a stable cash flow base and a
significant inventory of light oil and natural gas drilling and recompletion
opportunities many of which are 100% working interest. In the near term
Questfire's experienced technical team intends to pursue light oil and
liquids-rich natural gas drilling and recompletion opportunities on the acquired
assets as well as on Questfire's existing 100% working interest lands. Further
information will be provided in the near future.


Completion of the proposed transaction is subject to a number of conditions
including, without limitation, approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. 


Questfire was formed to participate in oil and natural gas exploration,
development and production in Canada. In particular, Questfire intends to
generate and develop its own prospects, acquire oil and natural gas properties
and participate with joint venturers and other industry partners in oil and gas
exploration and development in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin.


The Class A Shares and Class B Shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange
under the trading symbols Q.A and Q.B respectively. The Corporation currently
has 12,813,001 Class A shares and 555,840 Class B shares outstanding.

Such risks, uncertainties, and assumptions include, without limitation, risks

approvals and ability to access sufficient capital from internal and external
sources including banking arrangements, the impact of general economic
conditions in Canada, the United States and overseas, industry conditions,

Petroleum and natural gas volumes are converted to an equivalent measurement
basis referred to as a "barrel of oil equivalent" (boe) on the basis of 6
thousand cubic feet of natural gas equalling 1 barrel of oil. This is based on
an energy equivalency conversion method applicable at the burner tip and does
not necessarily represent a value equivalency at the wellhead, which under
current commodity prices is approximately 30 mcf to 1 bbl. Readers are cautioned
that boe figures may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation.
