VGS Seismic Canada Adds to Northeast B.C. 3-D Seismic Database

VGS Seismic Canada Inc., ("VGS" or "the Company") (TSX VENTURE:VGS) has added to
its Northeast British Columbia (NEBC) seismic library by completing a
non-monetary exchange contiguous to its existing Fireweed and Inga surveys. The
size of the newly acquired survey is 44 square kilometers, making the entire set
of contiguous data 298 square kilometers in size. This data enhances the 100%
owned VGS seismic data in an area known for its multi-zone natural gas
potential.


VGS takes the view that purchasing a license to VGS's existing data helps
clients reduce risk and lower finding costs for its oil and gas company clients,
and that the topographically rigorous areas of NEBC are likely to have a long
shelf life.


The Company's current 3-D library covers 5,045 square kilometres involving a
minimal number of partners and revenue share obligations. The accumulated
capital expenditure to March 31, 2008 for VGS data is $75 million and the VGS
component of the total historical amount spent to March 31, 2008 is $43 million.
With a disciplined approach of pursuing 100% title to the data added to its
library, the Company plans to generate a seismic annuity stream through the
sales of licenses to long-life, large-scale, 3-D seismic surveys such as the
NEBC surveys in the Fireweed/Inga area. The Company manages operating costs
effectively by not engaging directly in field operational activities and by
executing its strategy with a small staff of proven, senior-level professionals.


President and CEO Steven Vasey comments, "Our library continues to expand in
areas where we see immediate opportunity for cash license sales. The newest
additions to our library help us tighten the 3-D seismic ownership position in
our central Alberta data complex and more importantly adds to our core asset
base in Northeast British Columbia.


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.

services; the ability of VGS to raise capital and to meet its debt service
requirements; the ability of VGS's clients to raise capital for seismic data and
surveys; the ability of VGS to secure participants to conduct seismic surveys;
the existence of competitors; technological changes and developments in the oil
and gas industry; the effects of weather conditions on operations and
facilities; the seasonal impact on conducting seismic surveys; the ability of
VGS to participate financially in large seismic surveys due to increases in
costs of conducting such seismic surveys; the ability of VGS to protect its
proprietary rights to the seismic data; the existence of operating risks
inherent in VGS's services; the lack of availability of qualified personnel or
management; VGS's dependence on qualified seismic acquisition contractors to
conduct seismic surveys; general economic, market or business conditions,
