Press Releases

CALGARY, June 30 /CNW/ - Base Oil & Gas Ltd. ("Base" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: BOG) has closed the final tranche of its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") for aggregate gross proceeds of $395,549.90. The Company issued 1,318,499 common shares on a "flow-through" basis under the Income Tax Act (Canada), at a price of $0.30 per share pursuant to this tranche. In connection with this tranche of the Private Placement, the Company paid a 5% finder's fee on $380,549.90 of the gross proceeds received by the Company. The total gross proceeds under the Private Placement were $626,549.90.

The proceeds will be used towards financing the Company's share of the second earning well ("2nd Earning Well") under a previously announced farm-in agreement to develop Cardium production with a private company in the Pembina area. By paying 37.5% of the drilling, completing, equipping and tie-in costs of the 2nd Earning Well, Base will earn a 22.5% working interest in the well and the Cardium within the section. Commencement of drilling operations is scheduled for July 10th 2010.

All securities issued in connection with the Private Placement will be subject to a four-month hold period.

The Company also announces that it has sold its working interest in one of two non-producing sections it currently holds in the Long Coulee area to a junior public company. The sale proceeds of $256,000 will be used towards financing the Company's share of the 2nd Earning Well as noted above.
