Magnum Energy Inc. (TSX VENTURE:MEN) (the "Corporation" or "Magnum") is pleased
to announce that it has completed its third successful horizontal well in its
Provost Viking light oil property in southeastern Alberta. The well, in which
Magnum has an operated 50% working interest, was rig released in November, 2012,
after the successful drilling of a 641meter horizontal leg. Completion
operations commenced in early January, 2013 with a ten stage fracture
stimulation. The well is currently being prepared for testing and will be
equipped and placed on production in the coming weeks.


The Corporation has identified multiple offset drilling locations across its
Provost land holdings and plans to focus the majority of its 2013 capital
program in the Provost area, targeting lower-risk horizontal development
drilling (immediately offsetting existing production), in combination with the
drilling of mapped Viking oil on lands where Magnum has limited reserves
assigned to date.


Richard Nemeth, President and CEO, commented, "We are encouraged by the results
of this most recent well at Provost and the continued positive production
performance observed to date from the two Viking horizontal oil wells drilled in
mid-2012."
