*Production will naturally decline from reported levels before stabilising at
lower rates

Rita Whittington, COO of Magnolia, said, "This payment of US$1 million for
consulting services will provide funding for additional drilling as we look to
further increase our revenues from production. Additionally we are delighted
with the IP rates for the four Skunk Creek wells in North Dakota and the
Cummings 2H well targeting the Mississippi Lime in Oklahoma, adding just shy of
50 boepd to our daily production figures. With a pipeline of wells waiting to
spud, and continual drilling proposals coming in, we believe we are well placed
to deliver value for shareholders."
