Archer Petroleum Corp.: Corporate Update

Archer Petroleum Corp. ("Archer" or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE:ARK)(DBFrankfurt:A6VA) is pleased to provide the following corporate
update.


The Company achieved many goals in 2013 and is looking forward to further
significant developments in 2014. Since its initial financing in January of last
year, Archer has continued to work towards becoming a key player in the new
American oil sands sector. The Company has also positioned itself well to become
a provider of a cutting edge, global heavy oil/bitumen extraction technology,
and to potentially expand its heavy oil production focus beyond the United
States. Following are some of the major goals accomplished by the Company in
2013:


Acquisition of Sandklene 950 Rights

In the first half of 2013, Archer secured the rights to purchase and use
Sandklene 950 in the United States. Sandklene 950 is a patented and proprietary,
EPA-approved surfactant, which is potentially one of the most efficient and
cost-effective chemicals for the non-thermal extraction of heavy oil from oil
sands. Originally created for use in oil spill cleanup, Sandklene 950 is
biodegradable, non-toxic and 90% recyclable. Combined with enhanced, yet
traditional, mining processes, use of Sandklene 950 can undercut the capital
expenditure requirements of companies incorporating costly, heat-requiring
solvents in the extraction of heavy oil.


International Opportunities

In the latter part of 2013, Archer acquired certain exclusive rights to
manufacture and distribute Sandklene 950 internationally. The Company has
received wide-ranging inquiries for the use of Sandklene 950 on an international
basis and feels that the future potential to explore the use of this technology
in areas such as Asia, South America and North Africa, among others, will be
powerful growth drivers for the Company.


Acquisition of Oil Sands Assets

During 2013, the Company began acquiring interests in oil sands projects in the
states of Kentucky and Utah. Combined heavy oil reserves in both states, as
reported by government agencies, is said to be over 35 billion barrels. Archer
is focused on achieving 2014 heavy oil production in Kentucky initially, due to
the state's streamlined permitting process, the availability of excellent oil
sands land, enthusiasm from local communities, and the fact that Sandklene 950
is currently being implemented in a commercial production scenario by Archer's
partners in Kentucky. This first production facility is now undergoing
operational fine-tuning and is ramping up production to achieve commercial
levels in the coming weeks. Archer's drive to maximize shareholder value through
the construction of multiple production facilities in the American oil sands
will be greatly facilitated through the use of this existing production facility
as a virtual blue print for future development.


Archer currently holds approximately 2,000 acres of land in Kentucky and Utah
and expects to double this position in early 2014. Each acre acquired in US
government-outlined oil sands belts increases Archer's exposure to heavy oil by
potentially tens of thousands of barrels. The Company has established excellent
working relationships with family-based landholders to acquire further
production projects, and is also turning its focus toward similar
relationship-building with families in the state of Alabama, where estimated
heavy oil from oil sands reserves totals some 6.4 billion barrels.


Capital Markets

In May 2013, the Company's shares (TSX VENTURE:ARK) hit a trade high of $0.66
per share and in July 2013, the Company successfully closed a $1 million
financing. The majority of these proceeds were used for the acquisition of the
international rights to Sandklene 950 as well as for land acquisitions.


In order to provide market support and to increase corporate exposure in the
financial community, Archer has brought in Progressive IR Consultants Corp. to
provide investor relations services going into 2014. Archer has also signed a
contract with Stockhouse.com to increase exposure to investors over the next
year.


Management is very pleased about developments to date and remains dedicated to
our goal of achieving initial heavy oil production in the American oil sands in
2014.
