Excelsior Energy Limited (TSX VENTURE:ELE) ("Excelsior" or the "Company") announces that it filed today on SEDAR its Annual Information Form which includes the Company's oil and gas information for the year ended December 31, 2009 as mandated by National Instrument 51-101 Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities of the Canadian Securities Administrators. Additionally, the Company has filed its audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 and related management discussion and analysis with the Canadian Securities Regulatory Authorities. 2009 Highlights -- The Company completed a 29 core well drilling program in 2009 at Hangingstone for a total of 55 delineation wells in 39 sections. The results of the drilling program achieved all the program objectives to support a project application at Hangingstone and further delineate three of five areas that encountered thick net bitumen pay identified in the 2007/2008 winter drilling program. -- The Company submitted an experimental in situ combustion technology "COGD" project application to the provincial government in 2009 ("the Project Application") at Hangingstone to test this technology. The 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 with a budget of $50 million. It is anticipated approval of the Project Application is expected in the latter half of 2010 with subsequent implementation and commissioning of the pilot in the first quarter of 2011. In 2009 Excelsior filed a patent application for the pre-ignition heat cycle involved in the COGD process. -- The Company requires funding for the COGD pilot project and engaged CIBC World Markets Inc. as its strategic advisor to assist in identifying a joint venture partner for its COGD pilot project at Hangingstone or other value creating opportunities. -- Through its partially owned subsidiary, ENS Energy Ltd., Excelsior Energy North Sea Limited ("EENS") was awarded licence P1691 for two new blocks at 16/1b and 16/2c in the United Kingdom Continental Shelf 25th Licensing Round by UK Department of Energy and Climate Change in March 2009. These blocks were contiguous to licence P1500 awarded in 2007. The P1500 licence was relinquished in 2009 as EENS was not able to demonstrate the financial capacity to undertake a drilling program for an exploratory well by November 30, 2009, and a request to extend this deadline to February 28, 2010 was declined. The relinquishment of licence P1500 in the North Sea due to the inability to attract a joint interest partner or other financing for the project has resulted in a re-evaluation by ENS of the North Sea as the international focus. Other international opportunities are being explored by ENS with a focus on heavy oil in the Middle East and Northern Africa that are onshore and have a shorter cycle time to production. ENS is not expecting to continue its work program in the North Sea and all capitalized costs for the North Sea cost centre have been written off. 2010 Activity and Outlook -- The Company entered into an agreement on April 13, 2010, to finance up to $20,000,000 in non-brokered private placements. The net proceeds of the offering will be used to fund further delineation at Hangingstone and for general corporate purposes. The private placement financings are subject to regulatory approval and conditions, as well as other customary closing conditions. The private placement financings are currently under review with regulatory authorities. -- Pursuant to the Hangingstone farm-in agreement, in January 2010 the Company exercised its option to acquire and cancel the gross overriding royalty that encumbered the Company's Hangingstone oil sands property. Excelsior issued 1,445,056 common shares in consideration for the acquisition and cancellation of the gross overriding royalty. -- To assist funding the COGD project, the Company re-submitted its application to the Alberta government's Innovative Energy Technology Program ("IETP") for the COGD experimental technology in the amount of $10 million. The IETP program provides for royalty credits being awarded for capital spent on new technology in the energy industry. Excelsior has also applied for $22 million of funding from Climate Change and Emissions Management Corporation ("CCEMC"), a non-profit organization with a mandate to manage and administer the Climate Change and Emissions Management Fund. CCEMC will award funding to companies with projects that aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Resolution on both these initiatives is expected by mid year.

About Excelsior Excelsior is an early stage, oil sands company with 58 operated sections on two contiguous blocks in the Hangingstone and West Surmont areas of the Athabasca Oil Sands Region near Fort McMurray, Alberta. The Company has developed a proprietary in situ combustion technology ("Combustion Overhead Gravity Drainage" or "COGD") which has potential to improve economic and environmental impact in the development and recovery of heavy oil and bitumen. An application for an experimental pilot project to field demonstrate the COGD technology was submitted in the second quarter of 2009. Project approval is expected in the latter half of 2010 with subsequent implementation and commissioning in early 2011. 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.
