Operations Update

Canext has recently brought on-stream two new wells at its Sweeney oil property. These wells are producing at a combined rate of approximately 190 bopd (115 bopd net). The production rates are currently restricted due to facility constraints and pending regulatory approval. The Company has applied for and received a license to construct the first phase of a new multi well oil battery at Sweeney. Construction has started with a target completion date prior to December 31, 2009. The battery will be capable of 2,600 barrels of fluid per day and up to 1,000 mcf/d of natural gas. The first phase will include 4,000 barrels of fluid storage. Costs are estimated as $2,900,000 ($1,740,000 net) which includes pipeline tie-ins and solution gas conservation for several wells.

Canext estimates November production at Sweeney will average 500 - 550 boepd (300 - 330 boepd net). Upon completion of the battery and regulatory approval for good production practice, the Company estimates increasing production for the pool by 300 - 400 boepd (180 - 240 boepd net).

Third quarter financial information should be released on or about November 16, 2009.

Reader advisory:

The term "BOE" may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. In accordance with NI 51-101, a BOE conversion ratio for natural gas of 6 mscf: 1 bbl has been used which is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.

Investors are cautioned that the preceding statement of the Company may include certain estimates, assumptions and other forward-looking information. The actual future performance, developments and/or results of the Company may differ materially from any or all of the forward-looking statements, which include current expectations, estimates and projections, in all or part attributable to general economic conditions and other risks, uncertainties and circumstances partly or totally outside the control of the Company, including natural gas/oil prices, reserve estimates, drilling risks, future production of gas and oil, rates of inflation, changes in future costs and expenses related to the activities involving the exploration, development and production of gas and oil hedging, financing availability and other risks related to financial activities. The Company's forward looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements.
