VGS Expands 3-D Seismic Database by More Than 30%

VGS Seismic Canada Inc. ("VGS" or "the Company") (TSX VENTURE:VGS) is pleased to
report significant progress in its data library growth program with the addition
of 1,243 square kilometres of seismic data to date in Q1 2008. The total capital
expenditure for both data creation and secondary purchase is approximately $14.8
million, of which VGS is contributing $8.3 million. This addition will increase
the total size of VGS' data library to 5,017 square kilometres of high fidelity,
recent-vintage, 3-D seismic data in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. The
Company also owns a 2-D seismic database consisting of 5,002 linear kilometres
to complement its core 3-D assets.


VGS currently has available for sale seismic data representing a total cost of
$60.0 million, of which $34.0 million is VGS' share of the capital expenditure.
Based on completed contracts and work in progress, VGS will own seismic data
having a total cost of $74.8 million at the completion of field operations for
the 2007/2008 winter campaign. The Company will have funded $42.3 million, while
the remaining $32.5 million represents initial license sales from its oil and
gas company clients.


In building its library, VGS continues to focus on its strategic goal of
acquiring 100% ownership of seismic data that will be licensed for cash,
creating an annuity stream for the Company. The Company has been able to achieve
its significant growth without increasing the number of employees, having
entered and exited 2007 with the same employee count.


President and Chief Executive Officer Steven Vasey comments, "With its current
seismic database, VGS is well positioned for continued growth through future
license sales. Considering current economic challenges, we are pleased at the
rate of data license sales. I am proud to report we own more than 5,000 square
kilometres of 3-D seismic data after two and half years of operation."


Based in Calgary, Alberta, VGS Seismic Canada Inc. identifies, creates and
markets digital seismic data for licensing to oil and natural gas exploration
companies. To date, the Corporation's growing data library is concentrated in
British Columbia, Southern Alberta and Eastern Saskatchewan. VGS shares trade on
the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol VGS.
