CaiTerra International Energy Begins Drilling on the Faust Property in North Central Alberta

CaiTerra International Energy Corporation ("CaiTerra" or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE:CTI) is pleased to announce that drilling has begun on the first well of
a planned three well program on its property in the Faust area of north central
Alberta (the "Faust Property"). The Faust Property is located just north of the
prolific Swan Hills oil field and west of Black Pearl Resources Inc.'s Mooney
Pool producing oil property and south of the Town of Slave Lake. CaiTerra
currently holds a 50% working interest in the Faust Property.


The drilling currently being undertaken is to test for the presence of the
Bluesky Sand oil zone which has been identified as an economic oil producing
zone in the Mooney Pool producing oil property located to the east of the Faust
Property.


The first well will be drilled at 5-28-72-10-W5M, with a bottom-hole target of
5-29-72-10-W5M. The first well will be drilled vertically through the Bluesky
and logged to determine reservoir characteristics, followed by a horizontal leg
for production. At the date of this news release, the drill has reached a depth
of approximately 900 metres. Further information will be provided after the
Company has had an opportunity to interpret the logs associated with this well.
The other two well locations are expected to be at 5-28-71-10-W5M and
1-33-72-10-W5M, and are expected to be drilled following the drilling of the
current well.
