WIRE SERVICES/
CALGARY, June 7, 2011 /CNW/ - Terrex Energy Inc. ("Terrex" or the
"Company") (TSXV - TER) announces its financial and operating results
for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.
The Company has filed its unaudited interim financial statements and
related management's discussion and analysis (MD&A) for the three month
period ended March 31, 2011 on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and the Company's website at www.terrexenergy.ca. Certain selected financial and operational information for the period
is set out below and should be read in conjunction with the Company's
interim financial statements and for the period ended March 31, 2011
and the related MD&A.
"The first quarter of 2011 was a very active and productive period for
Terrex", stated Ms. Kim Davies, President and CEO.
-- "We received approval from the Energy Resources Conservation
Board for our first Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) project at
Strathmore and have finalized specifications and ordered the
necessary equipment;
-- We acquired our second property at Two Creek and are moving
ahead with planning optimization and EOR programs. We
anticipate optimization could include drilling of up to two
in-fill development wells prior to year-end, and we are excited
about the longer term EOR potential of the property. Two Creek
and Strathmore combined, have the potential to add four to
six million barrels of crude oil reserves, based upon
analogous projects; and
-- We completed a unique financing through the $14.7 million
hydrocarbon purchase agreement with Sandstorm Metals and Energy
Ltd. that permitted us to fund the Two Creek acquisition
without dilution to our shareholders.
These activities and transactions have contributed to, and we are
pleased with, our progress towards achieving our objective of building
a unique oil company focused on Enhanced Oil Recovery", continued Ms.
Davies.
Field Operations
First quarter field activities continued to focus on the design of the
chemical alkaline-surfactant-polymer (ASP) flood for the Strathmore
property. Additionally, activities at Strathmore concentrated on
reactivating well bores and pipelines, injector well conversions, and
facility modifications and repairs, in advance of commencing the
planned ASP flood later in the year. At Two Creek, preliminary
evaluation and planning of optimization and EOR programs commenced
during the quarter.
Operational and Financial Summary

Average production, boe/d 353 69
Capital expenditures, including acquisitions $ 15,044,293 $ 865,644

(1) Funds flow from operations and operating loss are non-IFRS
measures and are addressed in the "Advisories" section.
Comparative figures for 2010 are for the two month period from February 1, 2010, date of commencement of
operations, to March 31, 2010 and have been restated to reflect
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adopted in 2011.
Average production for the first quarter of 2011 increased significantly
over the first quarter of 2010 as a result of the Two Creek acquisition
and increased production at Strathmore. Two Creek production averaged
240 boe/d for the quarter and average production at Strathmore during
the first quarter increased to 113 boe/d, as the result of reactivation
activities, as compared to 69 boe/d for the two months ended March 31,
2010. Revenue during the first quarter of 2011 increased significantly
over 2010 primarily as a result of the incremental production realized
from the Two Creek acquisition which was effective as of January 1,
2011.
Earnings and funds flow from operations continued to reflect lower
production rates and higher operating costs typical of mature
reservoirs. In addition, operating costs at Strathmore include certain
repair costs necessary for the EOR project. As the Company's EOR and
optimization programs progress, production and revenue from these
properties is expected to increase significantly.

ADVISORIES
Barrels of Oil Equivalent
Production volumes and reserve information are commonly expressed on a
barrel of oil equivalent ("Boe") basis whereby natural gas volumes are
converted at the ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one
barrel of oil based on an energy equivalency at the burner tip and does
not represent a value equivalency at the well head. Used in isolation,
barrels of oil equivalent may be misleading.
Non-IFRS Information
Included in this news release are references to terms commonly used in
the oil and gas industry including funds flow from operations and
operating loss. Such terms do not have standard meaning as prescribed
under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable with the determination
of similar measures for other entities. As used in this news release,
funds flow from operations is calculated as cash flow from operating
activities less changes in non-cash working capital and, operating loss
is calculated as net loss before stock based compensation and accretion
of asset retirement obligations. Funds flow from operations is used by
management in assessing the Company's ability to fund capital programs
and operations and operating loss provides a comparison of operating
results between periods, excluding non-cash items subject to
significant volatility. The foregoing non-IFRS measures should not be
considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than cash provided by
operating activities and net loss determined in accordance with IFRS.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained in this news release constitute
forward-looking statements and forward-looking information
