Redcliffe Provides Operational Update

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

Redcliffe Exploration Inc. ("Redcliffe" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:RXP.A)
(TSX VENTURE:RXP.B) is pleased to provide the following operational update,
which updates the Company's news release of February 12, 2010.


Drilling Results

Over the winter drilling season, the Company successfully drilled 5 (2.95 net)
wells. On its core Gold Creek and Karr properties, the Company drilled 4 (2.70
net) wells, resulting in 4 (2.70 net) potential natural gas wells. In the
Pembina Cardium play, the Company farmed out its 50% interest in a horizontal
test well while retaining an unencumbered 25% interest at first production.


As previously reported, the Cardium horizontal well at 8-3 was placed on
production in January 2010 and is currently being produced by the operator at
approximately 125 bbl/d of light sweet Cardium oil. With the success of this
well, the Company expects to drill a second horizontal well on this section in
Q2 or Q3 2010. Redcliffe has 12 (7.7 net) sections of land with Cardium rights
and is actively developing a strategy to either monetize or develop this oil
potential based upon offsetting industry activity. In addition, the Company will
be focusing on additional oil opportunities in other west central Alberta
properties.


At Gold Creek and Karr, Redcliffe operated the drilling of two wells and
participated in the drilling of two other wells with Progress Energy Resources
Corp. ("Progress") and Delphi Energy Corp. ("Delphi"). All four wells were
successful. The Progress operated well at 12-13 (WI 50%) identified two primary
natural gas bearing horizons but will not be completed until the second quarter
of this year due to scheduling and warm weather conditions. This well, like the
Redcliffe operated well at 11-32 (WI 100%) and the Delphi operated well at 13-30
(WI 33.33%), all had as their primary target the Nikanassin Formation. The 13-30
well is currently undergoing completion operations that include the testing of
other potential natural gas bearing horizons. Both the 12-13 and 13-30 wells are
located within a short tie-in distance to existing plants and facilities. The
Redcliffe operated 11-32 well was completed in the Nikanassin zones and
confirmed our technical analysis of this play.


The Nikanassin Formation represents a resource-style play that offers upside
with the predictable nature of a large gas deposit development utilizing
horizontal drilling and multi-staged stimulation techniques. Natural gas liquid
content of the gas varies between 30 and 40 bbls/mmcf. Vertical wells drilled to
the north and utilizing optimized fracture completion techniques have achieved
initial rates in the 3 to 5 mmcf/d range and other operators in the area have
recently drilled horizontal Nikanassin wells. Redcliffe estimates that it has
exposure to Nikanassin potential in approximately 88 sections in its Gold Creek
and Karr core areas at an average controlled working interest of 65%.


Also during Q1 2010, Redcliffe drilled and cased a vertical well (87.14% WI) at
Karr targeting the Montney Formation. This strategic well was drilled to
establish Montney gas and liquid potential on the southern portion of the
Company's Karr lands. The well has been extensively sidewall-cored for reservoir
optimization purposes and was tested throughout the gross 200 meter Montney
Formation. While the preliminary test results remain confidential, the Montney
exhibited characteristics consistent with 3-D seismic data and the extensive
horizontal development being undertaken by Paramount Resources Ltd. one mile to
the north. Initial production rates for these horizontal wells have been
reported at over 5,000 mcf/d with 40 bbls/mmcf of natural gas liquids. Redcliffe
plans to drill its first horizontal well at Karr late in the second quarter. The
Company maintains an approximate 91% working interest in the 15 sections of land
over the Karr gas pool and 94 sections (average 73% WI) of prospective lands
over the general upper Montney Siltstone deposit in the Gold Creek / Elmworth
area.


Redcliffe has an extensive inventory of follow-up drilling locations in the Gold
Creek-Elmworth-Wapiti-Karr areas targeting both high impact vertical drilling
and the two "resource style" plays discussed above. The recent drop in North
American natural gas prices has impacted the economics of these opportunities,
but recent decisions by the Alberta government to maintain or improve its
drilling incentives and royalty framework has provided some positive incentives
and helped to reduce front-end capital exposure. While the liquids rich nature
of the natural gas deposits in the Gold Creek area offers a distinct economic
advantage, the current depressed outlook for natural gas may affect the pace at
which the Company executes its future capital program. We believe current gas
prices will result in a pullback in drilling activity and that demand levels for
natural gas will increase. The timing and extent to which this occurs is not
certain.


Other Operational and Financial Updates

Redcliffe's current production is averaging approximately 850 boe/d (69% natural
gas). The Company does not expect to see any potential increases in production
from the winter drilling program until late Q2 2010. Although natural gas prices
have recently weakened, the Company has forward sold 3,000 GJ/d, representing
the majority of the Company's natural gas production, at an average price of
$5.70/mcf ($5.41/GJ) for the period from April 1, 2010 to October 31, 2010. As a
result, the Company expects to be significantly hedged against natural gas price
weakness over this period.


The Company's net debt at December 31, 2009 is estimated at $6.4 million,
against existing bank lines of $14.1 million. These bank lines are currently
under annual review by the Company's lender. Redcliffe expects to release its
2009 audited financial results and NI 51-101 reserves disclosures in late April
2010.


Redcliffe is a Calgary based company exploring for oil and gas in Alberta. The
Company has a significant land base of 118 (77 net) sections in the Peace River
Arch south of Grande Prairie, as well as additional lands in and around Pembina,
including 12 (7.7 net) sections with Cardium oil potential. Production is
focused in the Gold Creek/Wapiti area of northwestern Alberta and the Pembina
area of central Alberta.
