2010 Strategic Alternatives Process


February 10, 2010

Iteration Energy Ltd. (“Iteration” or the “Company”) has announced that its Board of Directors has initiated a process to identify, examine and consider a range of strategic alternatives available to Iteration, with a view to maximizing shareholder value. This process could result in, among other alternatives, a sale of the Company, a sale of a material portion of the Company’s assets, or a corporate reorganization. The Company has engaged FirstEnergy Capital Corp. (“FirstEnergy”) and Scotia Waterous Inc. (“Scotia Waterous”) as co-financial advisors to assist in this strategic review process. Current production is in line with November 2009 production of 13,348 BOE/d consisting of 56.7 MMcf/d and 3,897 bbl/d oil and NGL from five core areas: West Central Alberta, Peace River Arch / British Columbia, Northeast Alberta, Southern Alberta and Rainbow. Certain information contained herein regarding reserves and drilling inventory are confidential and are for information purposes only.
