NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES Latigo Capital Corporation ("Latigo") (TSX VENTURE:LTG.P), Warnic 1 Enterprises Ltd. ("Warnic") (TSX VENTURE:WNCP), Valentine Ventures Corp. ("Valentine") (TSX VENTURE:VVN), Blackwater Capital Corp. ("Blackwater") (TSX VENTURE:BCC.P), all capital pool companies ("CPCs") and Cumberland Oil & Gas Ltd. ("Cumberland"), a privately held oil and gas company, are pleased to announce that in connection with their previous news release dated December 18, 2009, they have mailed a joint information circular and proxy statement ("Information Circular") to their respective shareholders with respect to the previously announced amalgamation of each of Latigo, Warnic, Valentine, Blackwater and Cumberland (the "Amalgamation") to form a new company to be called Cumberland Oil & Gas Ltd. ("Amalco"). The meetings of each of the Latigo shareholders, the Warnic shareholders, the Valentine shareholders (the "Valentine Meeting"), the Blackwater shareholders and the Cumberland shareholders will be held on February 26, 2010. The Amalgamation is intended to constitute the qualifying transaction (the "Qualifying Transaction") for each of the CPCs. Additionally, Valentine announces that it has cancelled an aggregate of 675,000 common shares, representing one half of the common shares issued to the "founders" of Valentine, which shares were cancelled pursuant to the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") as a result of Valentine's failure to complete a qualifying transaction within the time period required by the TSXV. At the Valentine Meeting, shareholders of Valentine will be asked to ratify such cancellation (the "Share Cancellation Resolution"), failing which an additional 675,000 common shares of Valentine will be cancelled, representing the remaining shares held by "founders" of Valentine. In connection with the Share Cancellation Resolution, each of Latigo, Warnic, Blackwater, Valentine and Cumberland have agreed to amend and restate the amalgamation agreement (the "Amalgamation Agreement") dated effective December 18, 2009 to take into account a contingent exchange ratio for shareholders of Valentine in the event that an additional 675,000 common shares of Valentine are cancelled. Pursuant to the Amalgamation Agreement, in the event an additional 675,000 common shares of Valentine are cancelled, every one common share of Valentine will be exchanged for 0.4057 of a common share of Amalco (0.3474 of a common share of Amalco in the event no additional Valentine common shares are cancelled).

There are no guarantees that the TSXV will accept such a request to waive the Sponsorship Report requirement, in which case the CPCs will engage a Sponsor to prepare such a report. Trading Halt of Shares of CPCs Trading of the shares of the CPCs has been halted and will not resume until the TSXV has accepted all requisite documentation in connection with the proposed Qualifying Transaction. It is currently anticipated that trading in the shares of Latigo, Warnic and Blackwater will resume trading shortly after the TSXV has decided to grant the CPCs an exemption from the requirement for a Sponsorship Report or a Sponsor has been engaged. The Information Circular has been filed and is accessible on the SEDAR profiles for each of the CPCs at www.sedar.com. It is currently anticipated that trading in the shares of Valentine will remain suspended due to its failure to complete a Qualifying Transaction within the requisite time required by the TSXV. Subject to all necessary regulatory approvals, including approval of the TSXV, upon completion of the Amalgamation, it is anticipated that the Amalco Shares will be listed and posted for trading on the TSXV. Completion of the Amalgamation is subject to a number of conditions, including TSX Venture Exchange acceptance and shareholder approvals (including on a disinterested basis to the extent required). The Amalgamation cannot close until the required shareholder approvals are obtained. There can be no assurance that the Amalgamation will be completed as proposed or at all. Investors are cautioned that, except as disclosed in the Information Circular prepared in connection with the Amalgamation, any information released or received with respect to the Amalgamation may not be accurate or complete and should not be relied upon. Trading in the securities of a capital pool company should be considered highly speculative. Certain statements contained in this joint news release constitute forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, completion of the Amalgamation and receipt of all required approvals thereto and the timing thereof, holding of shareholder meetings and the potential outcomes thereof. Information regarding reserves and future net revenue are forward looking information as they involve on assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the reserves described can be profitably produced in the future. By their nature, forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond the party's control including the impact of general economic conditions, industry conditions, volatility of commodity prices, currency fluctuations, environmental risks, competition from other industry participants, the lack of availability of qualified personnel or management, stock market volatility and ability to access sufficient capital from internal and external sources, inability to meet or continue to meet listing requirements, the inability to obtain required consents, permits or approvals, including, without limitation, shareholder of the Amalgamation, failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Amalgamation and the risk that actual results will vary from the results forecasted and such variations may be material. Readers are cautioned that the assumptions used in the preparation of such information, although considered reasonable at the time of preparation may prove to be imprecise and, as such, undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements. Amalco's actual results, performance or achievement could differ materially from those expressed in or implied by, these forward-looking statements and, accordingly, no assurance can be given that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will transpire or occur, or if any of them do so, what benefits Amalco will derive therefrom. There is no assurance that the necessary approvals for completion of the Amalgamation will be obtained or that some other condition to the closing of the Amalgamation will not be satisfied. Even if such conditions are satisfied, there is risk that closing of the Amalgamation could be delayed and may not meet the timelines anticipated. The forward-looking statements contained in this joint news release are made as of the date of this joint news release. Except as required by law, each of the companies disclaim any intention and assume no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable securities laws.
