Press Release Source: Dejour Enterprises Ltd. On Thursday July 8, 2010, 8:30 am EDT

CALGARY, Alberta--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dejour Enterprises Ltd. (NYSE-AMEX: DEJ / TSX: DEJ) (“Dejour”), a high growth oil and natural gas company operating multiple exploration and production projects in Northeastern British Columbia and Western Colorado, today announces high volume crude oil and natural gas output in June from the Company's Woodrush Project located in the Peace River Arch in British Columbia, Canada.

Gross project oil and gas production for the month of June was 29,967 barrels of oil equivalent (BOE), 95% of the production recorded in May. This represents a 315% improvement over the benchmark average gross monthly production of 9,500 BOE recorded during Q1-2010.

Gross daily production average during June was 999 barrels of oil equivalent despite the A-1-I oil well at Woodrush being temporarily shut in for 5 days for unexpected pipeline maintenance.

Harrison Blacker, Dejour President and COO states, “June production continues to provide the Company with confidence that there is opportunity for further 'Halfway' light oil reserve expansion and long-term potential for recoverable reserve increase through water flood. This project is meeting our expectation and defining itself as an important long term contributor to the Dejour value equation.”

Dejour plans to accelerate field development with additional wells in Q3-2010. A further $1.5mm (now $3.5mm total) of the Company's existing $5mm credit facility has been approved to fund Dejour's 75% share of its Woodrush Halfway oil development program.

BOE Presentation: Barrel of oil equivalent amounts have been calculated using a conversion rate of six thousand cubic feet of gas to one barrel of oil. The term “BOE” may be misleading if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of one barrel of oil to six mcf of gas is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the well head. Total BOEs are calculated by multiplying the daily production by the number of days in the period.
