NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES. RANGER ENERGY LTD. ("Ranger") (TSX VENTURE:RGG) and BLACKHAWK RESOURCE CORP. ("Blackhawk") (TSX VENTURE:BLR) are pleased to announce that they have entered into an arrangement agreement dated October 12, 2010 (the "Arrangement Agreement") pursuant to which Ranger and Blackhawk will amalgamate (the "Amalgamation") and form a new corporation to be called "Bruin Resources Corp." ("Amalco"). The Arrangement Agreement supersedes the non-binding letter of intent dated July 19, 2010 between Ranger and Blackhawk, the terms and conditions of which were previously announced by the parties on July 20, 2010. The Amalgamation is proposed to be effected by way of a plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement"), the details of which are set forth in the Arrangement Agreement. Under the Arrangement, each holder of Ranger common shares ("Ranger Shares") will receive one Amalco common share for each Ranger Share held, and each holder of Blackhawk common shares ("Blackhawk Shares") will receive one Amalco common share for each Blackhawk Share held. An annual and special meeting (the "Ranger Meeting") of Ranger shareholders and a special meeting (the "Blackhawk Meeting", and together with the Ranger Meeting, the "Meetings") of Blackhawk shareholders is set to be held on November 12, 2010. At the Meetings, among other things, the Ranger shareholders and Blackhawk shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought fit, approve the Arrangement. The Ranger board of directors and the Blackhawk board of directors, based upon the recommendations of their respective independent committees, have each unanimously concluded that the Arrangement is fair to Ranger shareholders and Blackhawk shareholders, respectively, and are recommending that Ranger shareholders and Blackhawk shareholders vote in favour of the Arrangement at the Meetings. Officers and directors of each of Ranger and Blackhawk have entered into lock-up agreements to support the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement. In order for the Arrangement to proceed, a special resolution approving the Arrangement must be passed by at least 662/3% of the votes cast by the Ranger shareholders at the Ranger Meeting and 662/3% of the votes cast by the Blackhawk shareholders at the Blackhawk Meeting, in each case either in person or by proxy. Completion of the Arrangement is also subject to the approval of the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta and the TSX Venture Exchange and the receipt of all other necessary regulatory and third party approvals. It is a condition of completion of the Arrangement that the TSX Venture Exchange shall have approved the listing of the Amalco common shares. The Arrangement Agreement provides for a reciprocal termination fee payable by either Ranger or Blackhawk in certain circumstances. Upon completion of the Arrangement, the board of directors of Amalco will consist of David Antony, Scott Price, Raymond Antony, Dale Owen, Michael Bowie and John McLeod and the Amalco management team will consist of David Antony as Chief Executive Officer, Marc Melnic as President, Charidy Lazorko as Chief Financial Officer, James Schneider as Vice President Engineering, Mark Lenson as Vice President Exploration, George Hardisty as Vice President Land and Business Development and Trevor Wong-Chor as Corporate Secretary. For additional information regarding the background of these individuals, please refer to the joint news release dated July 20, 2010. Upon completion of the Arrangement, Amalco intends to continue carrying on the business of an Alberta based oil and gas exploration and production company focused on petroleum and natural gas exploration, development and production in Western Canada. Amalco will be focused on the exploitation and development of its properties in its two core areas of Bodo and Crystal, Alberta. In addition, Amalco will focus on identifying key acquisitions and development opportunities in Western Canada. In connection with the Arrangement, Ranger has also entered into an agreement with Haywood Securities Inc. and Macquarie Capital Markets Canada Ltd. to act as co-lead agents, along with Byron Capital Markets and Casimir Capital LP, in respect of a brokered, commercially reasonable efforts private placement (the "Ranger Financing") of a minimum of 88,236,000 subscription receipts ("Subscription Receipts") at a price of $0.17 per Subscription Receipt for aggregate minimum gross proceeds of approximately $15,000,120. Ranger and the co-agents may elect to increase the size of the Ranger Financing to $25,000,000. The proceeds of the Ranger Financing will be held in escrow pending completion of the Arrangement and the satisfaction of certain other conditions. Under the terms of the Arrangement, each Subscription Receipt will be exchanged for one Ranger Share and one Ranger Share purchase warrant (each a "Subscription Receipt Warrant") without payment of additional consideration. Each Subscription Receipt Warrant shall be exercisable into one Ranger Share at a price of $0.20 for a period of three years from the date of the conversion of the subscription receipts, subject to acceleration in certain events. Following the exchange of the Subscription Receipts for Ranger Shares and Subscription Receipt Warrants,, all of the outstanding Ranger Shares will be exchanged for Amalco common shares on a one-for-one basis. In addition, following the Arrangement, each Subscription Receipt Warrant will represent the right to receive one (1) Amalco common share rather than a Ranger Share. If the Arrangement is not completed and the conditions to the release of the proceeds from the Ranger Financing are not satisfied on or before November 30, 2010, each holder of Subscription Receipts will be reimbursed the original subscription price, together with interest accrued thereon. The proceeds of the Ranger Financing are expected to be used to carry on Amalco's business plan and for general corporate purposes, The Ranger Financing is anticipated to close on or about November 11, 2010.
