Gallic Energy Ltd. to Resume Operations at Ossun-2 Well in France

Gallic Energy Ltd. ("Gallic" or "Company") (TSX VENTURE:GLC) is pleased to
announce that it has secured a conventional double drilling rig and received
government approval to sidetrack the Ossun-2 well located in the Aquitaine Basin
in Southern France. Gallic expects the drilling rig to be on-site prior to March
25, 2012 and that well activities will re-commence at this time. 


The Ossun-2 well is a re-entry of a Societe Nationale des Petroles d'Aquitaine
("SNPA" a Total SA legacy company) wellbore previously drilled in the late
1960's. The well will be re-entered on existing casing to an approximate depth
of 1,100 m where a whipstock will be set and new drilling will commence to an
approximate total depth of 3,000 m. In January 2012, Gallic encountered
obstructions in the existing casing at a depth of 1,344 m at which point it was
determined that the workover rig being used was not sufficient to overcome the
obstructions and the well plan required change. The formation targets of the
Ossun well are between 1,775 m and 3,000 m. Gallic's main target is the 200 m
thick Cretaceous Flysch Carbonate at an approximate depth of 2,700 m where SNPA
had previously encountered natural gas shows that were never tested or produced.
Well results are expected within 20-60 days from when the new drilling commences
at 1,100 m and will be dependent upon testing parameters.


On November 2, 2011, the Company announced results from independent reserve
consultants GLJ Petroleum Consultants Ltd. ("GLJ") on the undiscovered petroleum
initially-in-place ("UPIIP") (effective September 30, 2011) resource potential
for the geologic plays to be tested by the Ossun-2 well. The report indicates
the Mean estimate of the distribution of UPIIP for the Ossun-2 play at an
unrisked 248 BCF.


Mr. William H. Smith, President and CEO of Gallic, commented "We are pleased to
resume operations at the Ossun-2 well after a month delay while we deployed a
drilling rig. The new sidetrack plan for the well will allow Gallic to obtain
modern open-hole logs over the potential reservoirs. This will give more
definitive reservoir information than could the 1960's vintage open-hole logs
and the previously planned cased-hole logs. In addition, Gallic is setting its
plans for the next well in France which is now expected to be the Hagolle well
on our Ledeuix permit. We have developed the Hagolle play to a level where it is
presently our next highest rank candidate for drilling".


Gallic has a 100% working interest on its lands (320,000 acres), wells and
permits in France.

things as general economic conditions in Canada, France and elsewhere;
volatility of prices for oil and gas; commodity supply and demand; fluctuations
in currency and interest rates; inherent risks associated with the exploration
and development of oil and gas properties; ultimate recoverability of reserves;
production, timing, results and costs of exploration and development activities;
political or civil unrest; availability of financial resources or third-party
financing; new laws (domestic or foreign); changes in administrative practices;
changes in exploration plans or budgets; and availability of personnel and
equipment. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance upon the

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING UPIIP AND RESOURCES

Estimates of UPIIP were generally prepared using land and technical information
including well information, engineering, geological and geophysical data
available from Gallic up to September 30, 2011. There is no certainty that any
portion of the resources will be discovered. A recovery project cannot be
defined for this volume of undiscovered petroleum initially-in-place at this
time. There is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any
portion of the resources.  


The GLJ resource evaluation was prepared in accordance with the procedures and
standards contained in the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook. The UPIIP
definitions used in preparing this Report are those contained the COGE Handbook
and the Canadian Securities Administrators National Instrument 51-101 (NI
51-101). The summary of the disclosure relating to the Ossun - 2 and Azereix-1
wells are as follows:

All figures are given in BCF.

(i)Low Estimate is considered to be a conservative estimate of the quantity that
will actually be recovered. It is likely that the actual remaining quantities
recovered will exceed the low estimate. If probabilistic methods are used, there
should be at least a 90 percent probability (P90) that the quantities actually
recovered will equal or exceed the low estimate.


(i)Best Estimate is considered to be the best estimate of the quantity that will
actually be recovered. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities
recovered will be greater or less than the best estimate. If probabilistic
methods are used, there should be at least a 50 percent probability (P50) that
the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the best estimate.


(i)High Estimate is considered to be an optimistic estimate of the quantity that
will actually be recovered. It is unlikely that the actual remaining quantities
recovered will exceed the high estimate. If probabilistic methods are used,
there should be at least a 10 percent probability (P10) that the quantities
actually recovered will equal or exceed the high estimate.


(i)Mean Estimate is the arithmetic average from the probabilistic assessment.
