Blackdog Resources Ltd. ("Blackdog" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:DOG) is pleased to announce that during Q3, 2011, the Company was issued an aggregate of $261,224.28 in payments pursuant to the Government of Alberta Ministry of Energy's drilling royalty credit program ("DRC Program"). Under the terms of the DRC Program, the Company was able to deduct up to 50% of the royalties it paid on wells in Alberta between April 1, 2010 and March 31, 2011 by using DRC Program credits it accrued during this time period.

The first DRC Program payment issued to the Company was $79,500, pursuant to DRC Program credits accrued by the Company during the drilling of its 15% working interest ("W.I.") in a Pembina area cardium horizontal well, which was drilled in February, 2011.

The second DRC Program payment issued to Blackdog was $363,448.57 (net $181,724.28) in connection with an agreement entered into between Blackdog and a third party public company ("Pubco"), pursuant to which Pubco transferred certain DRC Program credits to Blackdog in consideration of receiving 50% of the DRC Program payments issued to Blackdog for these credits. Blackdog incurred no capital costs to receive the transferred credits. Pursuant to its agreement with Pubco, Blackdog reimbursed Pubco $181,724.28, which was 50% of the DRC Program payment received.

The Company also announces that construction has commenced on the pipeline on its Leduc Reef light oil well (15% W.I.) near Sylvan Lake, Alberta and the Company anticipates having the well on production within the next 14 days. The Company also announces that a pipeline is being completed on its Pembina area cardium horizontal well (15% W.I.) so that Blackdog and its partners will be able to capture the natural gas and natural gas liquids for sale in addition to light oil, which has been produced at the well since March, 2011. The construction of the pipeline is expected to be completed in November and will have no impact on current production.

Blackdog Resources Ltd is a junior oil and gas company focused on the development of medium and light oil properties in South-east Saskatchewan and Alberta. The Company has 24,578,318 common shares outstanding.
