VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / July 9, 2015 / As support for the concerned shareholder's nominees continues to grow and the deadline for voting is imminent, Michael Caetano urges the shareholders of Terra Nova Energy Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: TGC)(TNVMF) ("Terra Nova") to protect their investment and bring positive changes to Terra Nova by voting the Blue Proxy before 5:00 p.m. (PDT) on July 10, 2015 for the annual general meeting of Terra Nova to be held on July 15, 2015. If you are unable to vote by this deadline, Mr. Caetano still urges you to vote the Blue Proxy and he will make every effort to have your vote counted at the meeting.

The reason that Mr. Caetano has put forth four nominees for election of directors is a direct result of his concern over recent decisions made by the current board that have diluted Terra Nova's interest in Petroleum Exploration License ("PEL") 112 and 444 and his growing concern that future decisions made by the current board will continue to erode the value of Terra Nova.

Recent decisions made by the current board have resulted in Terra Nova significantly decreasing its interest in each of PEL 112 and 444 to just 20% while at the same time a related offshore company, Perseville Investing Inc., is increasing its interest. The concerned shareholder believes that these actions are not in the best interest of Terra Nova and that such actions may have benefited insiders of Terra Nova.

The nominees proposed by Michael Caetano are very experienced business leaders with extensive backgrounds in finance, management and oil and gas technical operations. All have a demonstrated commitment to good corporate governance and to act in the best interest of shareholders. The concerned shareholder's nominees have the experience to advance Terra Nova's drilling plans for PEL 112 and 444 and finance Terra Nova without diluting its interest in PEL 112 and 444. The concerned shareholder believes that an alignment of shareholders' interests with that of the company and its board is only possible when Terra Nova has directors who are truly independent and possess the necessary skills and experiences to empower them to act as fiduciaries and good stewards for all investors.
