(each, a "Flow-Through Share") at a price of $0.20 per Flow-Through Share, for
gross proceeds of $483,000. Each Unit consists of one common share in the
capital of the Company and one common share purchase warrant exercisable at a
price of $0.30 until December 7, 2013. The non-brokered subscriptions consisted
of 825,000 Flow-Through Shares and 50,000 Units for gross proceeds of $175,000.


Garth Braun, Blackbird CEO, stated: "We are very pleased to close this second
tranche of the Private Placement and now have all of the funds in place to meet
our capital requirements for the second Montney well that is currently being
drilled." 


Pursuant to an agency agreement entered into between the Company and the Agent,
an aggregate of 144,900 Agent's warrants were issued to the Agent and its
selling group, representing 6% of the Units and Flow-Through Shares sold in the
brokered Second Tranche. The Agents' warrants are exercisable at a price of
