(TSX Venture: EW) (\"East West\" or the \"Company\") Mr. David Sidoo, President and CEO, provides this update on drilling operations.\n\nNew Zealand\n\nThe operator has now completed  drilling and testing operations at the Cheal-D1 exploration well, which is located near the northern portion of TAG Oil's 70% working interest and operated Cheal East permit (PEP 54877) in the Taranaki Basin of New Zealand. TAG Oil drilled and completed the Cheal-D1 well approximately five days ahead of schedule and under budget to a total measured depth of 2,400 m.

Further testing work may be undertaken in the future to investigate other potential exploration opportunities in the neighboring fault blocks, as well as the potential of the two intervals of deeper Mt.
