Corridor Announces 2013 Year End Reserves and 2014 Capital Program

HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA--(Marketwired - March 6, 2014) - Corridor Resources Inc. ("Corridor") (TSX:CDH) announced today its 2013 year end reserve evaluations as well as its budget for 2014.

2013 Reserve Information

Corridor currently has natural gas reserves in the McCully Field near Sussex, New Brunswick and has crude oil reserves in the Caledonia Field near Sussex, New Brunswick.

GLJ assessed Corridor's reserves in its reports ("the GLJ Reports") dated effective December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, which were prepared in accordance with National Instrument 51-101 Standards of Disclosure of Oil and Gas Activities. The following table presents a summary from the GLJ Reports of Corridor's gross natural gas reserves, before the deduction of royalties, using forecast prices and costs.

Reserves Category	2013 Gross Reserves bscf	2012 Gross Reserves bscf
Total proved	60.5	57.6
Total probable	37.8	36.8
Total proved plus probable	98.3	94.5
Possible(1)	106.3	107.7
Proved plus probable plus possible(1)	204.6	202.2

(1)	Possible reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves. There is a 10% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the sum of proved plus probable plus possible reserves.

The increase in Corridor's proved plus probable natural gas reserves is attributable to the planned fracturing of existing McCully wells in the Frederick Brook shale, which extended reserve horizons in these wells, as well as technical adjustments due to well optimization efforts undertaken in 2013 which increased the ultimate recovery of producing wells in all categories. These increases more than offset Corridor's production of 2.9 bscf in 2013.

GLJ assigned to Corridor total proved crude oil reserves of 87 mbbl, total proved plus probable crude oil reserves of 260 mbbl and proved plus probable plus possible oil reserves of 521 mbbl in the GLJ Reports.

GLJ assessed the net present value of Corridor's natural gas, oil and natural gas liquids reserves in the GLJ Reports, based on GLJ's forecast costs and prices as at January 1, 2014 and 2013, respectively, as follows:

Net Present Value ($ in million) - undiscounted

	2013		2012
Reserves Category	Before Income Tax(1)	After Income Tax(1)	Before Income Tax(1)	After Income Tax(1)
Proved	205	197	159	159
Proved plus probable	374	320	316	280
Proved plus probable plus possible(2)	913	708	981	765

(1)	The estimated value of future net revenue does not represent the fair market value of Corridor's reserves.
(2)	Possible reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves. There is a 10% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the sum of proved plus probable plus possible reserves.

Net Present Value ($ in million) - discounted at 10%

	2013		2012
Reserves Category	Before Income Tax(1)	After Income Tax(1)	Before Income Tax(1)	After Income Tax(1)
Proved	93	91	68	68
Proved plus probable	143	130	111	104
Proved plus probable plus possible(2)	270	222	258	213

(1)	The estimated value of future net revenue does not represent the fair market value of Corridor's reserves.
(2)	Possible reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves. There is a 10% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the sum of proved plus probable plus possible reserves.

Increase in NPV per share

The increase in the net present value of Corridor's net reserves in 2013 is the result of increases in forecasted natural gas prices as estimated by GLJ to reflect the increased premiums expected in the New England market for the next several years and increases in reserves as explained above. As a result, Corridor's discounted net present value per share before income tax based on proved plus probable reserves has increased by nearly 30% to $1.62 per share in 2013 from $1.25 per share in 2012.

The 2013 GLJ Report will be available on Corridor's website at www.corridor.ca and a summary of the 2013 GLJ Report will be included in Corridor's Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2013, a copy of which will be filed on or about March 25, 2014 on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

"We are pleased to see a significant increase in the net present value of our 2P reserves in New Brunswick which results from the recognition of the premium pricing that Corridor's production can obtain in the New England market over the next several years," said Phillip Knoll, President and CEO of Corridor.

2014 Capital Program

Corridor has authorized a $27.2 million capital expenditure program for 2014 primarily related to a well re-entry and fracturing program in the McCully Field located in southern New Brunswick. The program is designed to increase natural gas production and revenues from the McCully Field and to evaluate the oil and shale gas potential of the surrounding basin, while maintaining a strong balance sheet with no outstanding debt. Capital expenditures for 2014 will be sourced from cash currently available and net cash flow projected from natural gas production and sales in 2014.

Corridor's program priorities for 2014 include:

1. running production casing in two of the four well re-entries and conducting up to nine fracture treatments, including five planned in the Frederick Brook shale and four planned in the Hiram Brook sands in wells connected to the McCully midstream facilities. This will increase natural gas production and provide additional deliverability profiles for our Frederick Brook shale play;
2. fracturing and testing the Green Road B-41 well to further evaluate the shale gas potential of the Frederick Brook formation in the Elgin sub-basin;
3. testing of the South Branch G-36 oil discovery well at the Caledonia Field based on customized treatment from a paraffin research collaboration program with the University of New Brunswick;
4. additional well workovers and well optimization programs to increase natural gas production at the McCully Field; and
5. continuing the regulatory process relating to the Old Harry structure in the Gulf of St. Lawrence in preparation for the proposed drilling of an exploration well on the prospect within two years.

Corridor is planning the 2014 fracture stimulation program in order for the expected increased production to be available starting November 1, 2014. This should allow the increased production to benefit from Corridor's previously announced forward sale agreement for the 2014-2015 winter season for an average of 4,000 mmbtu per day of natural gas at an average price of $US11.74/mmbtu. The 2014 program is subject to the availability of equipment and obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals, among other conditions.

"Our 2014 program in New Brunswick will provide Corridor additional production and increased cash flows," said Mr. Knoll. "Additionally, this program will provide Corridor with production profiles from several Frederick Brook Shale intervals that will be fracture stimulated in order to further demonstrate the economic potential of developing our substantial shale gas resource which is strategically located with direct access to large, premium markets in New Brunswick and New England."

2014 Budget

Corridor is forecasting cash flow from operations of $14 million in 2014, which is based on an estimated average natural gas sales price of approximately $8.75/mscf and an estimated average net daily gas production of 8.0 mmscfpd. The average natural gas sales price is based on an exchange rate estimate of $0.95 U.S. per Canadian dollar, an estimated Henry Hub price of US$4.75/mmbtu and an average premium at Algonquin of US$3.10/mmbtu. The 2014 estimated average natural gas price includes the impact of Corridor's forward sales of natural gas production previously announced.

Based on available working capital of $17.3 million at December 31, 2013 and Corridor's capital budget of $27.2 million, Corridor is forecasting a net positive working capital of approximately $18.0 million at December 31, 2014, with no outstanding debt. The budget assumes that the Anticosti joint venture announced on February 13, 2014 will close and that the net cash proceeds of $13.9 million will be received on closing.

Corridor is an Eastern Canadian junior resource company engaged in the exploration for and development and production of petroleum and natural gas onshore in New Brunswick and Québec and offshore in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Corridor currently has natural gas production and reserves in the McCully Field near Sussex, New Brunswick and crude oil reserves in the Caledonia Field near Sussex, New Brunswick. In addition, Corridor has contingent resources and discovered resources in Elgin, New Brunswick and undiscovered resources on Anticosti Island, Québec where Corridor has ongoing exploration projects.
