Lynden Reports Wolfberry Project Reserves

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Oct. 28, 2011) - Lynden Energy Corp. (TSX VENTURE:LVL) reports that Cawley, Gillespie & Associates of Houston, Texas, the Company's independent petroleum engineer, estimates the Company's net Proved plus Probable (P2) reserves at June 30, 2011 to be 6.77 million barrels of oil and 18.15 billion cubic feet of gas. Of this amount, Proved reserves were 3.29 million barrels of oil and 8.63 billion cubic feet of gas. The Net Present Value of future revenue, discounted at 10%, before income tax, of the Proved plus Probable reserves as of June 30, 2011 is estimated by Cawley, Gillespie & Associates to be US$73.65 million.

All of the reserves reported are attributable to Lynden's Wolfberry Project, located in the Permian Basin, Texas, and in particular to a portion of the West Martin and Wind Farms Prospect Areas. In the West Martin Prospect Area, Lynden has the option to earn a 43.75% working interest in leases covering 6,014 gross (5,488 net) acres and a 30.625% interest in leases covering 1,127 gross (1,127 net) acres located primarily in Martin County. In the Wind Farms Prospect Area, Lynden has the option to earn a 43.75% working interest in leases covering 3,515 gross (2,503 net) acres located in Glasscock County.

The Company is currently carrying out an aggressive development program on its Wolfberry Project. The Company currently has interests in 21 gross (9.0 net) wells currently producing, or scheduled to begin producing shortly, and anticipates that 6 gross (2.5 net) additional wells will be spud before December 3, 2011, and that 31 gross (13.2 net) wells will be spud in 2012.

At this time, no reserves have been attributed to the Company's Tubb Prospect Area where Lynden has the option to earn a 35.5% working interest in leases covering 7,341 gross (6,956 net) acres located in Howard County. The Company anticipates spudding its first well in the Tubb Prospect Area within the next two weeks.

The Wolfberry play is a major low-permeability oil play in the Midland Basin, with targets generally located between 7,000 and 11,500 feet drilling depth. The primary objectives of the play are oil (and gas) production from the Spraberry and Wolfcamp formations, which are Permian in age and are informally grouped to form the 'Wolfberry' interval or zone. Over time, the play has evolved to include additional zones below the Wolfcamp. Typical Wolfberry wells involve completions, which can include 8 to 12 fracture stimulations, over a 2,500 to 3,000 foot gross interval.
