SOX Solex Resources Corp.

Following a comprehensive review by the Energy Resources Conservation Board
(ERCB), Osum Oil Sands Corp (Osum) has received notice that the Company's
application for the development of a 35,000 barrel per day 100% owned thermal
project at Cold Lake (Taiga) has been approved. The Taiga project has been
assigned 359 million barrels of proved plus probable reserves. 


"Regulatory approval of the Taiga Project is a significant milestone for Osum on
our path to full-scale operated commercial production." said Steve Spence,
Osum's President & Chief Executive Officer. "Taiga is about unlocking the
potential of people, communities and resources, and this news moves us one step
closer to doing exactly that." 


With regulatory approval now in hand, the timing of development is under
evaluation. The construction of Taiga will require additional sources of
financing and Osum is currently evaluating funding alternatives that will
position the project for sanction by Osum's Board. 


The application goes next to the Lieutenant Governor in Council for final approval.

About Taiga 

The Taiga Project is located in the prolific Cold Lake region of Alberta
adjacent to some of the largest thermal projects in Canada. The project has been
assigned 359 million barrels of proved plus probable reserves and 105 million
barrels of best estimate contingent resource, which may support up to 45,000
barrels per day of production for over 30 years.

Disclosure of Reserves and Resources

Instrument 51-101 (NI 51-101) and the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook.

Under NI 51-101, proved reserves are those reserves which can be estimated with
a high degree of certainty to be recoverable. It is 90 percent likely that
actual remaining quantities will exceed estimated proved reserves. Probable
reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered
than proved reserves. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities
recovered will be greater or less than the sum of proved plus probable reserves.
Possible reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be
recovered than probable reserves. There is only a 10 percent probability that
the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the sum of proved plus
probable plus possible reserves. Contingent Resources are those quantities of
petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from
known accumulations using established technology or technology under
development, but which are not currently considered to be commercially
recoverable due to one or more contingencies. Contingencies may include factors
such as economic, legal, environmental, political, and regulatory matters, or a
lack of markets. Contingent Resources are further classified in accordance with
the level of certainty associated with the estimates and may be sub classified
based on project maturity and/or characterized by their economic status.
Resource estimates are described as follows: Best Estimate - This is considered
to be the best estimate of the quantity that will actually be recovered from the
accumulation. If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 50
percent probability (P50) that the quantities actually recovered will equal or
exceed the best estimate.; High Estimate - This is considered to be an
optimistic estimate of the quantity that will actually be recovered. It is
unlikely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the high
estimate. If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 10
percent probability (P10) that the quantities actually recovered will equal or
exceed the high estimate. Low estimate - this is considered to be a conservative
estimate of the quantity that will actually be recovered from the accumulation.
If probabilistic methods are used, the term reflects a P90 confidence level.
Contingent resources were assigned in regions with lower core-hole drilling
density than the reserve regions and are outside current areas of application
for development. These resource estimates are not classified as reserves at this
time, pending further reservoir delineation, project application, facility and
reservoir design work. Contingent resources entail commercial risk not
applicable to reserves, which have not been included in the net present
valuation. There is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce
any portion of the contingent resources.
