DeeThree Exploration Ltd. ("DeeThree" or the "Corporation") (TSX:DTX) is pleased to announce that it has completed its previously announced short form prospectus offering (the "Offering"), raising gross proceeds of $130,668,500.

The Offering was co-led by Macquarie Capital Markets Canada Ltd. and Casimir Capital Ltd. and included a syndicate of underwriters consisting of CIBC World Markets Inc., Cormark Securities Inc., Dundee Securities Ltd., Raymond James Ltd., Desjardins Securities Inc., D & D Securities Inc. and Emerging Equities Inc. (collectively, the "Underwriters"). A total of 3,000,000 common shares were issued on a "flow-through" basis (the "Flow-Through Shares") under the Income Tax Act (Canada) for gross proceeds of $15,450,000 and a total of 26,795,000 subscription receipts (the "Subscription Receipts') were issued for gross proceeds of $115,218,500. This included 3,495,000 Subscription Receipts issued pursuant to the full over-allotment option being exercised by the Underwriters.

The gross proceeds from the sale of the Subscription Receipts will be held in escrow pending the completion of the previously announced acquisition of certain oil and gas assets from Fairborne Energy Ltd. and Fairborne Pivotal Production Partnership ("the Fairborne Asset Purchase"). If the Fairborne Asset Purchase is completed on or before April 15, 2011 (the "Deadline"), the proceeds will be released to DeeThree and each Subscription Receipt will be exchanged for one common share of DeeThree for no additional consideration. If the Fairborne Asset Purchase is not completed on or before April 15, 2011 or the Fairborne Asset Purchase is terminated at an earlier time, holders of Subscription Receipts will receive a cash payment equal to the offering price of the Subscription Receipt and their pro rata share of interest earned thereon. Closing of the Fairborne Asset Purchase is expected to occur on or about March 22, 2011.

The Corporation will use the net proceeds of the Subscription Receipt Offering to partially fund the Fairborne Asset Purchase, as announced in the press release of the Corporation dated February 17, 2011 and as described in the final short form prospectus of the Corporation dated March 4, 2011 and the proceeds of the Flow-Through Share Offering will be used to fund ongoing exploration activities on its Lethbridge properties as well as the properties to be acquired from Fairborne Energy Ltd. and Fairborne Pivotal Production Partnership.
