VIOLATION OF U.S. SECURITIES LAWS.


Greenfields Petroleum Corporation (TSX VENTURE:GNF)(TSX VENTURE:GNF.DB)
("Greenfields" or the "Company"), an independent exploration and production
company with assets in Azerbaijan, is pleased to announce that it has secured a
US$25 million loan facility ("Loan") through an arm's length third party (the
"Lender"). The funds available under the Loan are intended to be used primarily
to finance the Company's ongoing development operations in Azerbaijan as it
relates to the Gum Deniz Oil Field and Bahar Gas Field.


Pursuant to the terms of the loan agreement (the "Loan Agreement") dated
November 25, 2013 among the Lender, the Company, Greenfields Petroleum Holdings
Ltd. and Greenfields Petroleum International Company Ltd., as guarantors
("Guarantors"), the Company is entitled to draw up to an aggregate of US$25
million in tranches based upon the achievement of certain operational
milestones, as set forth in the Loan Agreement. The amount drawn under the Loan
bears interest at a rate of between 15% and 20%. The Loan has a maturity date of
December 31, 2015. The Loan is subject to a 2.5% cash structuring fee payable on
each tranche advance in accordance with the Loan Agreement.


In consideration of the Loan, the Company has agreed to issue to the Lender
common shares of the Company as bonus shares (the "Bonus Shares"). The Bonus
Shares will be subject to resale restrictions expiring four months from the date
of issuance. On closing the Loan, the Company has issued 524,476 Bonus Shares to
the Lender. The number of Bonus Shares to be issued at future Loan milestones
and advances will be dependent upon the trading price of the common shares of
the Company on the TSX Venture Exchange at the time of each issuance of Bonus
Shares.


The Company intends on continuing its discussions with potential lenders with
respect to eventually replacing the Loan on more favorable terms with reserve
based lending.


The Loan is secured by first priority liens on the existing and future assets of
the Company and the Guarantors and is subject to final acceptance by the TSX
Venture Exchange.
