("Britcana") will participate in the drilling of an exploration well to evaluate the Maria prospect located in UKCS Block 15/18a.

The Company also announced today that a long offset 3D seismic survey has commenced on its Bowmore Prospect located in Quad 15. The new seismic will be integrated with existing 3D seismic to select a second drilling location on License P.1465. The Company approved the operators work program and budget for 2008, Britcana's 10% share of the budget is approximately 3.7 million pounds (C$7.6 million).
