Blackpool retires bridge debt

CALGARY, Sept. 5 /CNW/ - Blackpool Exploration Ltd. (BPX.A:TSX Venture
Exchange) has repaid bridge indebtedness owing to K2 Capital Management of
Toronto in the amount of $1.8 million. The Company has also improved its
balance sheet with the elimination of current liabilities totaling $913,000.
Proceeds from a disposition of certain non-producing properties for a total
purchase price of $1.5 million combined with $1.213 million from the Company's
credit facility with the Alberta Treasury Branches were utilized in these
transactions. The first phase of Blackpool's plan to deal with issues which
developed in the aftermath of the acquisition of C2 Energy Inc. has been
executed. Management will now pursue its high working interest drilling
program over the balance of 2006 to incur qualifying expenditures which will
satisfy the renunciation obligations of Blackpool's 2005 flow through share
issue.

The TSX Venture Exchange does not accept responsibility for the adequacy
or accuracy of this release.
