PrimeGen Announces Stock Repurchase Plan for Up to $10 Million

  PrimeGen Energy Corp. (PINKSHEETS: PGNE)
("PrimeGen" or the "Company") today announced that its Board of Directors
has approved a stock repurchase plan. The repurchase of up to $10,000,000
of the Company's common stock was authorized.

Robert Charlton, the Company's President, said, "We are very pleased to announce this repurchase program at a time when we believe our stock is undervalued and expect a benefit to shareholders with increased future earnings per share by reducing the number of shares outstanding. This program reflects the Board of Directors' continued confidence in the Company and commitment to enhance shareholder value. Our shareholders have been and continue to be our most important asset and rewarding them is a high priority.

"We have been astounded by the sharp decline in our share price over the past several months. Nevertheless, we believe PrimeGen's share price has become significantly undervalued. That view is based on our assessment of the oil & gas market over the next few years. Accordingly, we believe repurchasing shares at these prices represents an exceptional investment opportunity."

Acquisitions of stock under the repurchase plan will be made from time to time as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements, and subject to market conditions and other factors. Shares may be purchased in the open market, including through block purchases. PrimeGen will not repurchase any shares from directors, officers or other affiliates of PrimeGen. Purchases will be funded by the revenue from the Timan-Pechora Project. Plan will continue as long as periodic management reviews it to be fiscally feasible and may be discontinued at any time.
