Corridor Announces Additional Anticosti Analysis and NAPE Presentation

HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA--(Marketwire - Feb. 21, 2012) - Corridor Resources Inc. (TSX:CDH) announced today that Dr. Tom Martel, Chief Geologist for Corridor Resources, is making a presentation entitled "A Comparison of Two Utica Shales: Eastern Ohio Versus Anticosti, Quebec" at the Houston NAPE International Forum on Wednesday, February 22 at 3:00 pm. The presentation will include, among other things, the new results of a study by Schlumberger Canada Ltd. comparing the petrophysical properties of the Utica shale in the Ohio Geological Survey CO2 #1 well with those of the Macasty Shale (a geological equivalent to the Utica) in the Petrolia/Corridor Chaloupe #1 well on Anticosti Island Quebec.

The results of this study demonstrate that the majority of rock parameters are very similar, including net pay, total organic carbon, clay content and hydrocarbon saturation. The porosity of the Chaloupe Macasty shale averages 4 to 6 percent, which compares favorably to the Ohio shale. This factor, together with earlier permeability analyses, is a positive indicator for oil and gas production potential.

This presentation, together with the Schlumberger report, will be posted on the Corridor website on Thursday, February 23.

Corridor controls nearly 900,000 acres of prospective Macasty lands on Anticosti Island. This data would suggest that the rock properties of the Macasty shale are similar to that of the Utica shale in Ohio where a number of companies are active.

Corridor also announced the recent resignation of Mr. Jack Bray as a Director of the Corporation. Mr. Bray advised Corridor that he was of retirement age and was cutting back on business commitments in several areas.

Corridor is an Eastern Canadian junior resource company engaged in the exploration for development and production of petroleum and natural gas onshore in New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Québec and offshore in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Corridor currently has natural gas reserves and production in the McCully Field near Sussex, New Brunswick and discovered crude oil reserves in the Caledonia Field near Sussex, New Brunswick in 2008. In addition, Corridor has contingent resources and discovered resources of shale gas in Elgin, New Brunswick.
