Madalena has moved two drilling rigs into its core area of operations located in the Greater Paddle River Area of Central Alberta, where the company holds a significant acreage position of 197 gross (153 net) sections of land (78 percent average working interest and largely operated by Madalena) across multiple light oil and liquids-rich gas resource plays. Madalena's focus domestically is to exploit its large inventory of horizontal development locations with the expectation to increase production and cash flow year over year.

The plan between now and spring break-up is to drill, multi-stage frac, equip and place on production four to five gross (4.0 to 4.2 net) horizontals focused across three key resource plays. To increase production and reserves, the focus throughout 2013 will be to drill horizontals targeting: •Ostracod oil •Notikewin/Falher/Wilrich liquids-rich gas stacked development plays •Nordegg oil & liquids-rich gas
