NATIONAL INSTRUMENT 43-101 MEASURED RESOURCE CALCULATION DUE SHORTLY

Vancouver, British Columbia, August 15 , 2007: Red Hill Energy Inc. (TSX-V: RH) Red Hill Energy (the Company) is pleased to announce that assays received from recent core samples from drilling at the Company's second Mongolian coal project, Chandgana Tal confirm a high quality subbituminous coal that is conducive to both thermal power generation and coal-to-liquids (conversion to synthetic fuel). Coal of similar rank and quality is currently used for power generation as close as 180 km away from the Chandgana Tal Coal Project and as well is mined commercially at Baganuur, Mongolia; Krasanoyarsk, Russia; Chita, Russia, and other locations throughout China, Russia and Mongolia.

In June of this year Red Hill Energy was extremely pleased by the results of an extensive drilling program at Chandgana Tal. Drilling extended and in some cases deepened historical coal showings associated with a large non NI 43-101 compliant historical coal resource. Thecoal seam averages over 40 m thick and has relatively low ash content. Overburden on the Red Hill licenses is shallow, with a maximum strip ratio of less than 1.25:1 and an average strip ratio of less than 0.75:1. A National Instrument 43-101 compliant technical report and resource calculation has been commissioned to Behre Dolbear (USA) of Denver Colorado results of which are due in the very near term. Spacing of the drill program was such that the forthcoming resource calculation will fall under the National Instrument 43-101 measured category.�

Over 284 m of coal core were recovered during the drilling program in May 2007. Samples were sealed immediately upon retrieval and packed in wooden boxes to prevent damage during transport. Reserves from each sample are being kept at the laboratory. Assays from Chandgana Tal were analyzed at SGS's internationally certified laboratory in Tianjin, China. The analytical results, which have just been received, indicate that this is low-sulfur (0.68%) subbituminous coal with an average calorific value of 4,242 kcal/kg (7,635 BTU/lb).

Chandgana Tal is road linked approximately 300 km east of Mongolia's capital Ulaanbaatar and 160 km east (also road linked) of the Mongolian Railroad which accesses directly to China to the south and Russia to the north.

Red Hill Energy's President Mr. Ranjeet Sundher commented today that:

"These strong assay results highlight the potential for very strong economic viability at Chandgana Tal. I look forward to press releasing the project's resource calculation as soon as we receive it from our consultants, Behre Dolbear (USA). Red Hill plans to advance Chandgana Tal to economic production in a timely manner like we are currently doing with our 208.8 million tonne Ulaan Ovoo coal project."

The 100% owned Chandgana Tal Coal Project is contiguous to and almost entirely surrounded by Tethys Mining, a 100% owned Mongolian subsidiary of international mining conglomerate CVRD� (Companhia Vale do Rio Doce) of Brazil. CVRD is actively exploring their Tethys licenses which cover a large portion of the same coal deposit as Red Hill's Chandgana Tal licenses. All told, the shared coal extent has a maximum width of 7.5 km E-W and a NE-SW length of 20.0 km.
