(the "Corporation" or "Eaglewood") (TSX VENTURE:EWD) is pleased to announce that Brad Hurtubise has been appointed President and Chief Executive Officer of Eaglewood. Hal Hemmerich has resigned from the position of President and Chief Executive Officer but continues to act as a director of Eaglewood. Mr Hurtubise will bring many years of energy capital market financing and advisory experience as well as oil and gas operating experience to the Corporation.

These Warrants will be exercisable at a price of $1.75 per common share.

The Warrants will expire on the earlier of: i) three years from the date of grant; and ii) 90 days after the holder ceases to be employed by the Corporation or its subsidiaries. Exercise of the Warrants is subject to the Corporation obtaining majority shareholder approval for the issuance, which approval the Corporation intends to obtain by written consents.

In addition to the issuance of the Warrants, the Corporation intends to issue up to 2,300,000 stock options pursuant to the Corporation's stock option plan exercisable at a price of $0.10 per share for a period of five years.
