Redcliffe Announces $8 Million Winter Capital Program

THIS NEWS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR TO U.S. PERSONS.

Redcliffe Exploration Inc. (TSX VENTURE:RXP.A) (TSX VENTURE:RXP.B) ("Redcliffe"
or the "Company") is pleased to announce an $8 million winter capital program
for Q4 2009 and Q1 2010. This capital program will be focused in the Company's
core gas area in the Gold Creek/Wapiti/Karr regions of northwestern Alberta, and
in the developing Cardium horizontal oil play in the Pembina area of central
Alberta.


Redcliffe currently owns interests in over 100 sections of land in the Peace
River Arch multi-zoned gas basin, centered by its Gold Creek/Wapiti production.
This winter's capital program will focus the Company's Montney and Nikanassin
gas potential in this area, and is being driven by anticipated strengthening gas
prices in 2010 and by the recent nearby successes of intermediate and larger
sized competitors.


In the Karr area, Redcliffe plans to drill two vertical wells offsetting the
four existing and three additional planned horizontal wells of an intermediate
gas producer. These two vertical wells, while also targeting up-hole gas
horizons, will primarily target the Montney sand. The Montney potential has
already been established by these adjacent horizontals that have test rates of
up to 5 mmcfpd with associated liquids. Both wells will be cored for reservoir
optimization purposes. Depending upon the outcome of a drilling option in the
Gold Creek area currently being seismically evaluated, Redcliffe may allocate
additional funds to the Karr area and convert one of these vertical tests to a
horizontal drill. This determination will be made prior to year-end. Redcliffe
maintains an approximate 90% working interest in the 15 sections of land over
this prospect.


In the Wapiti area, Redcliffe will drill a vertical Nikanassin test on a
recently acquired 100% working interest four-section block of land. This test
well, if successful, will be the fourth Nikanassin producer for the Company.
Like the Montney Formation at Karr, the Nikanassin Formation represents a
resource-style play that offers upside from natural gas prices combined with the
predictable nature of a large gas deposit developed utilizing horizontal
drilling and multi-staged stimulation techniques. While Montney shale and sand
deposits are exclusively being developed at this time utilizing multi-staged
horizontal fracture techniques, to our knowledge the Nikanassin has yet to be
tested horizontally in the immediate area, although other operators have
recently licensed horizontal wells nearby. Vertical wells drilled to the north
and utilizing optimized fracture completion techniques have achieved initial
rates in the 3 to 5 mmcfpd range. Redcliffe estimates that it has exposure to
Nikanassin potential in approximately 82 sections in this core area at an
average controlled working interest of 63%.


In the Gold Creek area, Redcliffe has a number of wells planned, subject to
partner approvals and the completion of an analysis of a recently acquired
seismic program. These wells range in working interest from 30% to 72%.
Confirmation of scheduling for these wells for 2010 drilling will be made over
the next 30 days.


Redcliffe plans to drill at least one horizontal Cardium well prior to year-end
in Pembina. Recent drilling offsetting the Company's lands has resulted in
initial rates over 250 bopd with the ultimate potential of drilling 2 to 4 wells
per section. Two recent horizontal wells have been drilled directly offsetting
Redcliffe's lands. This play is drawing significant attention due to both its
areal extent and the potential reserves per section of 400,000 to 600,000
barrels. Redcliffe has 12 sections of land with Cardium potential at an average
working interest of 65%. 


After a time of distressed natural gas pricing and resultant limited capital
activity during the first three quarters of 2009, we are excited to recommence
drilling activity at a meaningful level in anticipation of improved commodity
prices through 2010. With our extensive land inventory and Montney/Nikanassin
potential, we look forward to developing our assets for significant growth
during the second half of 2010.


Redcliffe is a Calgary based company exploring for oil and gas in Alberta. The
Company has a significant undeveloped land base in the Peace River Arch south of
Grande Prairie. Production is focused in the Gold Creek/Wapiti area of
northwestern Alberta and the Pembina area of central Alberta. Redcliffe averaged
production of 1,043 boepd during the first half of 2009. Production for the
third quarter of 2009 has been reduced to approximately 850 boepd due to
shut-ins and delayed tie-ins of new wells as a result of low gas prices. Recent
decisions by operators to bring production back on stream and to tie-in new
wells caused by recent gas price increases is anticipated to increase
Redcliffe's production to above 1,000 boepd in November.
