CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Nov. 28, 2011) - Sagres Energy Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SGI) ("Sagres" or the "Company"), an international oil and gas company with an exploration portfolio in Colombia, Guyana and Jamaica, is pleased to provide an update on its activities in Jamaica and report the appointment of Mr. Maurice Colson to the Board of Directors.

Jamaican Activities

Rainville Energy Corporation ("Rainville"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Sagres, is a party to three Production Sharing Agreements with the Petroleum Corporation of Jamaica covering the right to explore and develop Blocks 9, 13 and 14 covering approximately 8,864 km² located offshore Jamaica (the "Blocks").

The minimum exploration work commitments under each of the production sharing agreements are divided into two phases. The first phase, which has been successfully completed, consisted of acquiring a total of 2,458 km of new 2D seismic data. The second phase, which Rainville must elect to enter into by December 15, 2011, consists of completing a detailed prospectivity analysis and drilling one well at each block. As per the contract, the second phase must be completed by December 2013.

Rainville has recently applied to the Petroleum Corporation of Jamaica for an extension to the first phase to allow potential joint venture partners sufficient time to complete their evaluation of the Blocks. A decision is expected to be reached in the next two weeks. Concurrently the Company is in discussions with several parties with regards to a potential farm-in on these properties.

Mr. Gary Wine, President and CEO of Sagres stated that "we continue to be excited by the significant potential of the La Concepcion prospect, a mapped prospect that straddles Blocks 9 and 13, with an independent evaluation establishing a gross mean prospective resource estimate of 2.9 billion barrels before consideration of risk. We look forward to advancing this project to the drilling stage and we are holding discussions with potential partners". Details regarding the resources estimate are pursuant to the Company's NI 51-101 Report prepared by Chapman described in a press release of the Company dated August 27, 2010.
