With a focus on liquids rich natural gas, complemented by light oil, Triton has the ability to capitalize on the strong liquids present in its gas which result in positive drill economics despite the current low gas price environment. The Corporation has set a 2010 capital budget of $20.5 million, which includes the drilling of 9 net wells, 3 of which are targeting the high impact Ellerslie deep gas play in Ricinus. The Corporation is also in the process of making an application to list its shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange, and intends to propose a name change to "Waldron Energy Corporation" and a 10 to 1 share consolidation, both of which will be voted on at the next annual general meeting of shareholders. To date in 2010, Triton has made important steps towards repositioning the Corporation including a $45.0 million asset acquisition in west central Alberta, $34.9 million in equity offerings ($1.76 million rights offering, $0.66 million exercise of options, $25.0 million bought deal common share financing, $7.5 million flow-through financing) and an increase in the Corporation's credit facility to $25.0 million. Triton's current production is approximately 2,000 to 2,200 boepd. Operationally, Triton has deepened one well at Ricinus that resulted in a new pool discovery of a channel sand system mapped as an extension of the existing Ferrier Ellerslie F Pool located 6 miles to the north east. To capitalize on this exploration success, Triton acquired an additional 15 sections of land directly on this trend. Presently, Triton is in the process of deepening a second well at Ricinus at 14-29-37-8W5M. This well is targeting the same Ellerslie pool and results from this well are expected in early May. Triton has 20 - 25 high impact drilling locations identified on this trend. Triton has also spud a third Ellerslie well as a new pool wildcat in the Ricinus core area and is located at 15-10-36-9W5M. Currently, Triton has 286,204,777 common shares outstanding and 71,825,600 common share purchase warrants outstanding. Triton's annual general meeting will be held June 8, 2010 at 3:30pm (Calgary time) at the Telus Convention Center in Calgary, Alberta. Stock Option Grant Triton will grant an aggregate of 20,800,000 stock options ("Options") of the Corporation to directors, officers and employees at a minimum exercise price of $0.24 per common share or the April 30, 2010 closing price less applicable discount).

The Options will be granted in accordance with the Corporation's shareholder approved stock option plan, which reserves for issuance on exercise of stock options a maximum of 10% of the number of common shares of the Corporation outstanding, from time to time. Following the grant of the Options there will be a total of 20,850,000 stock options, 71,825,600 common share purchase warrants and 286,204,777 common shares outstanding.

Forward Looking and Cautionary Statements This news release contains forward-looking statements relating to the Corporation's plans and other aspects of the Corporation's anticipated future operations, strategies, financial and operating results and business opportunities. These forward-looking statements may include opinions, assumptions, estimates, management's assessment of value, reserves, future plans and operations. Forward-looking statements typically use words such as "will," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "intent," "may," "project," "should," "plan,," "intend," and similar expressions suggesting future outcomes, and statements that actions, events or conditions "may," "would," "could," or "will" be taken or occur in the future. Specifically, this press release contains forward-looking statements relating to the number and location of drilling locations; current, future and average production rates; application for listing to the Toronto Stock Exchange; share consolidation; proposed name change; shareholder meeting dates and other matters; whether or not shareholder approval is received; whether or not other geological zones are prospective; results and confirmation of exploration concepts; timing of operations; number of drilling locations; and timing of the grant of stock options. In addition, statements regarding reserves are deemed to be forward-looking statements, as they involve estimates and assumptions as to the expectation that the reserves can be economically exploited in the future. The forward-looking statements are based on various assumptions including expectations regarding the success of current or future drill wells; the outlook for petroleum and natural gas prices; estimated amounts and timing of capital expenditures; estimates of future production; assumptions concerning the timing of regulatory approvals; the state of the economy and the exploration and production business; results of operations; performance; business prospects and opportunities; future exchange and interest rates; the Corporation's ability to obtain equipment in a timely manner to carry out development activities; and the ability of the Corporation to access capital. While the Corporation considers these assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently available to it, they may prove to be incorrect. Forward-looking statements are subject to a wide range of assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors that contribute to the possibility that the predicted outcome will not occur, including, without limitation: risks associated with oil and gas exploration, development, exploitation, production, marketing and transportation; loss of markets; volatility of commodities prices; currency fluctuations; imprecision of reserves estimates; environmental risks; competition from other producers; inability to retain drilling rigs and other services; incorrect assessment of the value of acquisitions; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions; general economic conditions; delays resulting from or inability to obtain required regulatory approvals and to satisfy various closing conditions; and ability to access sufficient capital from internal and external sources. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. Although Triton believes that the expectations represented by such forward-looking statements are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such expectations will be realized. As a consequence, actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements and you should not rely unduly on forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this news release are made as of the date of this news release. Except as required by applicable law, Triton does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements. Note Regarding BOEs The term barrel of oil equivalent ("boe") may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A conversion ratio for gas of 6 mcf:1 boe is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.
