Additional information on the Corporation's reserves can be found in the Annual Information Form ("AIF") on SEDAR at www.sedar.com or the Corporation's website at www.tritonenergy.ca. Outlook Triton has a 2008 capital budget of $16.1 million, which includes drilling up to fourteen (14 net) wells. Funding for this capital program is expected to be derived essentially from cash flow and available credit facilities. To date in 2008, the Corporation has drilled four 100% working interest operated wells resulting in two natural gas wells and two dry holes. Triton plans to commence tie-in operations in the second quarter, following spring break-up, and drill up to ten (10.0 net) additional wells in 2008. At Sullivan Lake, the Corporation recently acquired an option on 14 sections of undeveloped land, increasing Triton's total land holdings in the area to 29 sections. With five (4.93 net) wells currently on production and 24 sections of undeveloped land, Sullivan Lake has become a core property for the Corporation. Triton has recently completed shooting 9.5 square miles of proprietary 3-D seismic over a portion of these lands and plans to drill a test well on the option lands in the second quarter, following spring break-up. The Corporation expects first quarter 2008 production to average approximately 875 barrels of oil equivalent per day with an estimated 300+ barrels of oil equivalent of additional daily production awaiting evaluation and tie-in. Additionally, there are numerous asset and corporate acquisition opportunities available at this time and the Corporation believes similar opportunities will continue to be available during 2008. Triton has evaluated several opportunities this year and will continue to do so, primarily targeting corporate acquisition opportunities that would augment organic growth and enable Triton to gain operational mass, thereby increasing shareholder value. Triton is a Calgary, Alberta based corporation engaged in the exploration, development and production of petroleum and natural gas. The Corporation's common shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the trading symbol "TEZ". Forward-Looking Statements This news release may include forward-looking statements including opinions, assumptions, estimates and management's assessment of future plans and operations, budgeted capital expenditures and the method of funding thereof, wells to be drilled, timing of drilling of wells, timing of completion and tie-in of wells and commencement of production from wells and expected production levels. When used in this document, the words "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "intent," "may," "project," "plan", "should" and similar expressions are intended to be among the statements that identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to a wide range of risks and uncertainties, and although the Corporation believes that the expectations represented by such forward-looking statements are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such expectations will be realized. Any number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements including, but not limited to, risks associated with oil and gas exploration, development, exploitation, results from testing, production, marketing and transportation, the volatility of oil and gas prices, currency fluctuations, the ability to implement corporate strategies, the state of domestic capital markets, the ability to obtain financing, incorrect assessment of the value of acquisitions, failure to realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions, changes in oil and gas acquisition and drilling programs, delays resulting from inability to obtain required regulatory approvals, delays resulting from inability to obtain drilling rigs and other services, delays in tie-in operations, results from testing, environmental risks, competition from other producers, imprecision of reserve estimates, changes in general economic conditions and other factors more fully described from time to time in the reports and filings made by Triton with securities regulatory authorities. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, as no assurances can be given as to future results, levels of activity or achievements. Except as required by applicable securities laws, the Corporation does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements. Finding and development costs are calculated by dividing the sum of exploration and development costs incurred in the most recent financial year plus the change during the most recent financial year in estimated future development costs relating to the reserves in question, by the reserve additions being considered (being proved or proved and probable reserves) on a barrels of oil equivalent basis. The aggregate of the exploration and development costs incurred in the most recent financial year and the change during that year in estimated future development costs generally will not reflect total finding and development costs related to reserve additions for that year. Disclosure provided herein in respect of barrels of oil equivalent ("boe") may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of 6,000 cubic feet of natural gas to 1 barrel of oil is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.
