BBI Blackbird Energy

Garth Braun, CEO of Blackbird Energy Inc. (TSX VENTURE:BBI) is pleased to
provide an operations update on its Bigstone Montney high natural gas liquids
resource play. The Donnybrook Energy Bigstone Hz 15-32-60-22 W5M well (25%
working interest to Blackbird) encountered 2,744 m of high quality Montney
reservoir with strong gas shows and excellent penetration rates. The reservoir
encountered is comparable to the Montney interval that was successfully
completed in Blackbird's first Bigstone Montney well, Donnybrook et al
14-29-60-22w5, which was the 1200m Hz Bigstone Montney discovery well that
tested 4.3mmcf/d and 295 barrels of NGL's (1,011 barrels of oil equivalent per
day). The reservoir quality encountered while drilling the 15-32 well proves the
play and reservoir quality of the Montney at Bigstone extends at least as far
north as the northern boundary of Blackbird's 1,792 ha 7 section (448 ha
1.75section net) contiguous land interests. 


The 15-32 well is currently flowing natural gas, natural gas liquids and
hydraulic fracture fluids undergoing clean up operations after completion of the
23 stage hydraulic fracture operation. During the hydraulic fracture operation
460 tons of fracture propant and fluids were placed. However, mechanical
complications were encountered that have limited the number of stages that the
operator can definitively say were successful. The final 5 stages were clearly
successfully completed with 120 tons of propant and fracture fluids placed. At
this time the operator is preparing to put production tubing in place and
continue to flow the well. The flow rates for the 15-32 well will be released
once the well has had further time to clean up and the rates are stabilized.


An industry competitor has drilled a 2,760m extended reach Hz well offsetting
Blackbird's lands 800m to the west and parallel to Blackbird's 14-29 well. This
well terminated 200m south of Blackbird's Section 31 and 200m west of the NW
corner of section 29. The operator of the well reported a final 24 hour test
rate after a 4 day flow period of 12.5mmcf/d with 770 barrels of condensate per
day and expects to yield a further 30-35 bbls per mmcf of natural gas liquids
that will be recovered from a shallow cut processing facility. This well is a
strong indication of the productivity of the Montney reservoir at Bigstone and
indicates the reservoir continues to the west and northwest onto Blackbird
interest lands.


Donnybrook has informed Blackbird that surveys have been completed and contracts
are in place to construct a 1.5 mile pipeline to tie in the 14-29 and 15-32
wells. Both wells were drilled from the same surface location and will be tied
into the pipeline and shared surface facilities. Field construction operations
for the pipeline are expected to commence in mid-February with all facilities
ready for production to start by April 1st. 


Donnybrook is currently waiting on surface approval to commence construction of
2 drilling pads that will facilitate the drilling of up to 6 more wells. Surveys
have been completed for 5 of these development locations. Construction of the
first surface lease is expected to be complete by mid-February and Donnybrook
has informed Blackbird they have located a rig suitable to commence drilling the
next well as soon as the third week in February. Donnybrook anticipates this
well will be drilled from a surface location at 4-28-60-22w5.


Garth Braun, CEO of Blackbird Energy Inc. stated, "The mechanical issues we have
encountered with the 15-32 well have raised some technical issues. However,
Blackbird is very confident about the quality of the reservoir the 15-32 well
has encountered and looks forward to receiving results from the production test
and placing the well on production. We are continuing to move ahead in the field
with operations to tie in both the 15-32 and 14-29 wells, and are preparing to
drill a third well on this exciting prospect."  


About Blackbird 

Blackbird's Bigstone Project is comprised of lands and licences covering a total
of 4,480 acres, in Township 60, ranges 22 and 23W5 at Bigstone, Alberta. By
completing the terms of the farm in agreement, Blackbird has earned 25% of
Donnybrook Energy Inc.'s interest in the Bigstone lands and in any future
operations within an area of mutual interest. 


Blackbird's wholly-owned subsidiary Blackbird Energy LLC ("Blackbird Energy")
holds a 75% interest in 3,857 acres of leasehold land located in Gray County,
Texas known locally as the "Mathers-Gordon Prospect". The Mathers-Gordon
Prospect is a multi pay oil and gas prospect. Blackbird Energy is the operator
of the prospect. In addition, Blackbird plans to actively look for further oil
and gas properties for acquisition or potential joint ventures.

Certain statements in this release are forward-looking statements, which reflect
the expectations of management regarding Donnybrook's ability to drill and
complete the next wells on the project, the timing of such drilling, the timing
and completion of any subsequent tie ins or production, and any results from the
wells specifically or the Montney Shale play in general. Forward-looking

including: (1) a downturn in general economic conditions in North America and
internationally, (2) the inherent uncertainties and speculative nature
associated with oil and gas exploration and production, (3) a decreased demand
for natural gas, (4) any number of events or causes which may delay or cease
exploration and development of the Company's property interests, such as
environmental liabilities, weather, mechanical failures, safety concerns and
labour problems; (5) the risk that the Company does not execute its business

Oil Equivalency Conversion (BOE) 

Where amounts are expressed on a barrel of oil equivalent ("BOE") basis, natural
gas volumes have been converted to BOE at a ratio of 6,000 cubic feet of natural
gas to one barrel of oil equivalent (6 Mcf = 1 BOE). The conversion ratio is
based upon an energy equivalent conversion method, primarily applicable at the
burner tip and does not represent value equivalence at the wellhead. BOE values
may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation.
