TORONTO, April 7 /CNW/ - Exile Resources Inc. (TSXV: ERI) ("Exile" or the "Company"), today announced the reserves estimates for the Company's Akepo property, which is located offshore Nigeria. The reserves estimates are based on Exile's working interest in Akepo and were prepared by DeGolyer and McNaughton Canada Ltd (D&M").

The estimate of reserves ascribed to Exile from the Akepo Property are: 80,786 gross barrels of oil equivalent ("BOE") of total proved reserves; 491,492 gross BOE of total proved plus probable reserves; and 1,734,284 gross BOE of total proved plus probable plus possible reserves. Possible reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves. There is a 10% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the sum of proved plus probable plus possible reserves. A summary of the reserves estimates for the Akepo field is as follows:

(1) Estimates of Reserves of natural gas include associated and non-associated gas. All gas flared.
(2) "Gross Reserves" are Company's working interest reserves before the deduction of royalties.
(3) "Net Reserves" are Company's working interest reserves after deduction of royalty obligations plus the Company's royalty interests.
(4) "Barrels of Oil Equivalent" uses an industry standard of 6:1 (thousand cubic feet per barrel of oil equivalent). BOEs may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of 6Mcf:1 bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.

"The Akepo field represents near-term cash flow for Exile with initial production from the Akepo-1st well still slated for Q3 2011," said Mr. Tony Henshaw, President and CEO of Exile. "Beyond the Akepo-1st well, other exploration targets have been identified within the licence area, providing low-cost step-out opportunities that management believes will contribute to our reserves and production numbers."

The D&M Reserves Estimates Report for the Akepo property is effective December 31, 2010 and the full Reserves Estimates Report for the Akepo field is available on the Company's website at www.exileresources.com and is filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Exile recommends that readers refer to the Reserves Estimates Report in its entirety as it details the process for determining the reserves estimates, the assumptions underpinning the modeling, and defines all technical terms used.

Summary of Akepo Licence Area

The Company has an 8% working interest, converting to a 17.5% working interest in approximately 7,100 acres of land in the Akepo field, located in the northwest part of the Niger Delta in the OML 90 licence block. Exile is in partnership with Sogenal Ltd. Oil and Gas Company, who is the operator of the field, and Oando Exploration and Production Ltd., the technical partner for the development of the field.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS

BOEs may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of 6 Mcf: 1bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.
