Blackbird Energy Provides Operational Update

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA–(Marketwired – Nov. 13, 2013) – (TSX VENTURE:BBI) Blackbird Energy Inc. (“Blackbird” or the “Company“) is pleased to report the following update on its operations.

BROMHEAD MIDALE

Blackbird is currently licensing its first Midale well on its Bromhead land base where it holds a 100% working interest in two sections (1,280 acres) of land. The application is to re-enter an existing wellbore located at 1-27-3-13W2 to test the Midale formation. This re-entry is focused on by-passed light oil pay that the team has successfully pursued in other pools nearby. A by-passed Frobisher light oil zone is mapped to exist below the Midale as a secondary target.

MANTARIO SUCCESS WELL A15-6-26-24W3

Blackbird has completed its first Mantario Success Well at A15-6-26-24W3 (the “A15-6 Well”). The A15-6 Well encountered approximately 20 metres of oil bearing sands in the Success formation. The well has been cased, perforated and was put into production November 8, 2013. The A15-6 Well will be produced for approximately 15 days prior to releasing results. Blackbird has a 70% working interest in the A15-6 Well.

Garth Braun, President and CEO of Blackbird stated, “The Blackbird team is very pleased with the initial analysis of our oil discovery on the Mantario Project. Our geological team has also identified two similar areas on existing Blackbird lands in our extensive southwest Saskatchewan holdings of over 35 sections. These two additional opportunities are favorable for further exploration through the acquisition of 2D seismic data to apply the seismic template from our recently evaluated Mantario Project. We look forward to continue to build our production and reserves via exploring and developing our lands via the drill-bit.”

GREATER KARR MONTNEY & DEEPER RIGHTS

Blackbird has increased its holdings of Montney Petroleum & Natural Gas Rights in the Greater Karr area of Alberta to 18 sections (11,520 acres). All of the acquired sections also include deeper rights including rights to the prospective Duvernay formation.

RELOCATION OF HEAD OFFICE

Blackbird will be relocating its corporate head office to Calgary in the first quarter of 2014 in order to consolidate the location of its management team.
