("RockBridge" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:RBE) is pleased to provide this update on its operations with respect to its two previously announced joint venture agreements with Crimson Energy Ltd.("Crimson") of Calgary.

RockBridge cautions that actual performance will be affected by a number of factors, many of which are beyond its control.

Reference to BOE means barrels of oil equivalent and is derived by converting gas to oil at the ratio of six thousand cubic feet (mcf) of gas to one barrel (bbl) of oil. BOEs may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of 6 mcf: 1 bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner top and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. References to BOEPD means barrels of oil equivalent per day.
