Wilton Resources Inc. Announces Closing of Second and Final Tranche of Convertible Debenture Financing

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE
UNITED STATES. ANY FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS RESTRICTION MAY CONSTITUTE A
VIOLATION OF U.S. SECURITIES LAWS.


Wilton Resources Inc. ("Wilton" or the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE:WIL)
announces that it has closed the second and final tranche ($100,000) of its
$1,000,000 private placement (the "Offering") of convertible unsecured
debentures (the "Debentures"). The Debentures will bear simple interest at a
rate of 7.5% per annum payable quarterly in arrears and will mature two years
after the date of issue. At the option of the holders of the Debentures, the
Debentures will be convertible at any time up to the time of maturity into
common shares of the Corporation ("Common Shares") at a deemed issue price of
$1.00 during the first year of the term of the Debentures, which will be
increased to $1.25 during the second year of the term of the Debentures. If at
any time during the second year of the term of the Debentures, the average
closing trading price per Common Share for a period of twenty (20) consecutive
trading days, is equal to or greater than $1.50, the Corporation will have the
right, at its option, upon providing fifteen (15) days' notice in writing to the
holders of the Debentures, to convert the Debentures into Common Shares at the
second year conversion price of $1.25 per Common Share.


In connection with the Offering, the Corporation paid Macquarie Private Wealth
Inc. (the "Finder") a finder's fee consisting of a cash payment equal to 7.5% of
the gross proceeds raised from applicable subscriptions in the Offering and
issued finder's warrants equal to 7.5% of the gross proceeds raised from
applicable subscriptions in the Offering ("Finder's Warrants"). Each Finder's
Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one Common Share at a price of $1.00 for
a period of two years from the closing date of the Offering. 


The Offering is subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals,
including the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The Debentures and the
underlying securities, as applicable, will be subject to a statutory hold period
of four months and one day from the date of issuance in accordance with
applicable securities legislation.


All of the proceeds of the Debentures will be used for general working capital
purposes of the Corporation.

forward-looking information and are based on the Corporation's current belief or
assumptions as to the outcome and timing of such future events. Actual future
results may differ materially. In particular, this release contains
forward-looking information relating to the completion and timing of the
Offering, the use of proceeds of the Offering and the payment of a commission to
Finders. Various assumptions or factors are typically applied in drawing
conclusions or making the forecasts or projections set out in forward-looking

available to the Corporation. The material factors and assumptions include that
management will be able to raise adequate proceeds from the Offering, that the
Corporation will obtain all necessary regulatory approvals, that the Corporation
will use finders to obtain subscriptions to the Offering and that the board of
directors will not determine that it is in the best interests of the Corporation
to change the intended use of proceeds. Risk Factors that could cause actual
results or outcomes to differ materially from the results expressed or implied
by forward-looking information include, among other things: the failure to
obtain the required approvals for the Offering in a timely fashion or at all,
general economic conditions, market risks relating to the oil and gas industry,
the inherent risks involved in the exploration and development of oil and gas
properties, the uncertainties involved in interpreting exploration results and
other data and the ability of the Corporation to obtain the funds and resources
required to carry out further acquisition exploration. The Corporation cautions
the reader that the above list of risk factors is not exhaustive. The
forward-looking information contained in this release is made as of the date
hereof and the Corporation is not obligated to update or revise any
forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise, except as required by applicable securities laws. Because
of the risks, uncertainties and assumptions contained herein, investors should
