Bengal Energy Ltd. (TSX:BNG) ("Bengal" or the "Company") today announces the
appointment of Mr. Jerrad Blanchard, CA as Chief Financial Officer (CFO),
effective December 1, 2013. 


Mr. Blanchard brings to Bengal a strong technical background, coupled with
hands-on experience in all aspects of corporate finance, financial reporting,
implementation of controls and governance for a public company operating in
international jurisdictions. Prior to its sale earlier in 2013, Mr. Blanchard
served as the CFO of Winstar Resources Ltd., a TSX listed oil and gas company
with international exploration and production assets. Prior thereto, he was a
Manager in PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP's Audit and Assurance Group, and became a
member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Alberta in 2007. 


"We are very pleased to welcome Mr. Blanchard to the Bengal team," said Chayan
Chakrabarty, Bengal's President and CEO. "His direct experience in the financial
management of a growing international energy company will be paramount as Bengal
continues to pursue the development of our assets." 


Mr. Blanchard will be replacing Mr. Bryan Goudie, who served as Bengal's CFO
since 2006, and is resigning from the company to pursue other opportunities. Mr.
Goudie will continue to provide transitional assistance to the company until
December 22, 2013.  


"Bryan has been a valued member of the Bengal team through its evolution to
date, providing financial management as the Company transitioned from pure
exploration through to production. On behalf of the Board of Directors and
Bengal, I would like to thank Bryan for his contributions and wish him continued
success in his future endeavours," said Chakrabarty.
