Excelsior Energy Limited (TSX VENTURE:ELE) ("Excelsior" or the "Company") announces it has filed financial statements and management's discussion and analysis for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. These materials can be found online at www.sedar.com. "We have made significant progress towards the development of our Hangingstone property with the submission of our COGD experimental project application to the Alberta Government" said Dr. David Winter, Excelsior's President and Chief Executive Officer. "The application was an important milestone for Excelsior and the culmination of extensive geological, engineering and environmental work that was completed on time and on budget. That work was enhanced by the excellent results from last winter's delineation drilling program which increased our contingent resources assigned by independent engineers by 45% from their previous year's assessment and underscores Excelsior's growing resource potential." Second Quarter 2009 Highlights - Excelsior submitted an in situ combustion experimental project application ("COGD Project Application") to the Alberta Energy Resources Conservation Board ("ERCB") and Alberta Environment ("AENV") in June, 2009. The COGD Project Application will seek approval to operate three COGD well arrays with a production target of up to 1,000 barrels of bitumen per day. Regulatory approval is anticipated in approximately one year. - Excelsior's proprietary COGD technology is supported by a recently completed computer reservoir simulation model. The work was contracted to Computer Modeling Group Inc. and used their advanced computer simulation technology (STARS). Excelsior's geological reservoir characterization model, which integrated all core, log, and seismic data formed the geological framework for the simulation model. A number of runs were made to test sensitivities to different reservoir and operating parameters. The modelling results were positive and supported Excelsior's pre-ignition process and indicated that a COGD horizontal well has the potential to produce in excess of 800 barrels of bitumen per day and attain potential recovery factors in excess of 64%. - Excelsior's core delineation drilling over the past two winter seasons continues to confirm the bitumen resource potential at Hangingstone, near Fort McMurray, Alberta. Excelsior obtained an independent engineering report by McDaniel & Associates Consultants Limited ("McDaniel Report") for the Hangingstone property in the second quarter of 2009. As summarized in the Company's news release dated June 25, 2009, the McDaniel Report, effective July 1, 2009, assigned 172 million barrels of best-estimate (mid-case) contingent resources at Hangingstone (Excelsior's working interest share, before royalty) which represents a 45% year-on-year increase. Furthermore, the McDaniel Report classified the contingent resources as economic with a best-estimate net present value before income tax discounted at 10% ("NPV10") of $208 million. On a NPV10 unit basis the McDaniel Report valued Excelsior's best-estimate contingent resources at $1.21 per barrel or $1.45 per common share (based on 143,060,590 outstanding common shares at June 30, 2009). - The Company had working capital of $2.4 million at June 30, 2009, which is sufficient to fund the COGD pilot application and general and administrative expenses for the next four quarters. The Company has no debt. Further operations and implementation of the COGD experimental pilot project will require additional funding. - The Company had a commitment to incur and renounce $9,237,766 of eligible expenditures by December 31, 2009, to subscribers of its flow through private placement which closed in September 2008. As at June 30, 2009, the Company had fulfilled this obligation. Outlook - Excelsior awaits a response to an application submitted to the Alberta Government's Innovative Energy Technology Program ("IETP") in support of the COGD experimental program. The submission was made in September 2008 and provides for royalty credits to be awarded for capital spent on this new technology. Confirmation is expected in the near future. - The Company through its subsidiary Excelsior Energy North Sea Limited ("EENS") has completed seismic reprocessing and interpretation on licence P1500 in the UK North Sea. A drilling location has been identified to test one of the prospects which is a step-out from an existing oil discovery drilled in 1996. EENS is required to commit to drill on the block by November 30, 2009, or relinquish the licence at no further cost. EENS is currently conducting a farm-out process to seek an industry partner for the well. - Excelsior continues to investigate acceptable arrangements to finance the COGD pilot project, further delineate the resource at Hangingstone and the nearby Surmont property, and to appraise its North Sea exploration licenses.

The Company has developed a proprietary in situ combustion technology ("Combustion Overhead Gravity Drainage" or "COGD") which has game-changing potential in the development and recovery of heavy oil and bitumen. An application for an experimental pilot project to field demonstrate the COGD technology will be submitted in at the end of the second quarter of 2009 with a targeted start up in early 2011. In addition the Company indirectly holds a 100% working interest in UK North Sea Licences P1500 and P1691 covering four part-blocks through its 75% owned subsidiary ENS Energy Ltd. Excelsior's strategy is to capture oil and gas appraisal and development opportunities where we can leverage Management's diverse international operating, heavy oil and field development expertise with developing technologies to produce oil and gas.
