XXL Energy Corp. Announces Entering Into a Loan With Giant Energy Ltd.

XXL Energy Corp. (the "Company" or "XXL") (TSX VENTURE:XL) announces that it has
entered into a loan pursuant to which it will borrow up to $1,000,000 (the
"Loan") from Giant Energy Ltd. ("Giant"). The loan is unsecured and evidenced by
a short-term promissory note (the "Promissory Note").


In accordance with the terms of the Promissory Note, Giant will lend XXL up to
$1,000,000 for a term of up to 6 months (the "Term") at an annual rate of
interest equal to ten percent (10%), such interest to be accrued and payable at
the end of the Term. In consideration for the Loan, XXL will pay Giant a bonus
consisting of up to 71,301 common shares in the capital of XXL (the "Bonus
Shares"). The Bonus Shares will be subject to a 4 month hold period. XXL has
determined that the Loan will allow XXL to have the financial wherewithal to
meet near-term commitments as they become due and give XXL the time required to
raise additional capital once market conditions have improved.


The entering into the Loan and the terms of the Promissory Note were approved by
those directors of XXL who are independent of Giant. The remaining two directors
of XXL, John Hislop and Clifford Adams, who are related parties, abstained from
voting. After issuing all of the Bonus Shares, Giant will own 71,301 common
shares in the capital of XXL, representing 1.4% of the issued and outstanding
common shares of Exxel.
