The Corporation's gross land base increased by 15 percent to 21,600 gross acres (33.75 sections) with an average working interest of 66 percent, all in the Edson exploration area. - In support of its drilling success in the second half of 2006 and first quarter of 2007 and a growing land base, Stonefire approved the construction of a 100 percent working interest, 5.5 mmscf per day capacity, Stonefire-operated sweet gas plant in the Edson area at 10-28-53-16W5M. - Plant design, major equipment orders, public and industry notification were completed in Q2 2007 with all regulatory approvals received in July 2007. - Licensed and made preparations to drill a 50 percent working interest, Stonefire operated, 2,000 metre deep exploratory multi-zone natural gas well in the McLeod area. This well was spud July 6, 2007. - Averaged 80 boe per day net production (80 percent natural gas) and generated positive cash flow from operations of $9,702 for the quarter. - Spent $4.4 million of capital in the quarter with the majority spent on Crown land ($1.9 million), natural gas plant equipment and compressors ($1.6 million) and drilling and completions ($0.7 million). - Initiated increases to the Corporation's bank credit lines in Q2. Approvals obtained in July 2007 for an increase of $3 million to help finance the construction of the Edson 10-28 gas plant. President's Message The second quarter of 2007 saw the Corporation continue to lay the foundation for production growth and drilling success in its core Edson area. The Corporation increased its land base in the Edson area by 15 percent through Crown land sales. Stonefire announced its decision to proceed with the construction of a 5.5 mmscf per day design capacity, 100 percent working interest sweet gas plant in the Edson area at 10-28-53-16W5M. At the time of this report, plant construction is well underway with a target start-up date of late August 2007, which will allow previously drilled and tested, liquids-rich, natural gas production of approximately 400 boe per day net to Stonefire to be brought on production. Also during the quarter Stonefire acquired an additional three sections of Crown land at 100 percent working interest in the immediate vicinity of the 10-28 gas plant, and negotiated an additional farm-in covering one section. Our drilling inventory of multi-zone exploration and development wells adjacent to the 10-28 gas plant now stands at 17 wells, all at 100 percent working interest. At McLeod a 50 percent working interest, Stonefire-operated, 2,000 meter deep exploratory well was licensed and prepared for drilling in June 2007. Wet spring weather delayed spud until early July 2007. Stonefire's year-to-date drilling success rate is 100 percent for the two gross (1.5 net) exploratory wells drilled and the company is on track to achieve its 2007 exit target production rate of 600+ boe per day. Subsequent to the quarter-end bank credit lines were expanded by $3 million to $6 million total to help finance the 10-28 gas plant. Going forward the Corporation will remain focused on expanding its production and operations in its core Edson area. The addition of our first natural gas processing plant is a significant milestone and a strategic measure that we fully expect will allow Stonefire to achieve low operating costs, high netbacks and allow the orderly development of the Corporation's growing inventory of multi-zone drilling locations.

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. Readers are cautioned that boe figures may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation.
