BRR Trinity Valley Energy Corporation

Britannica Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:BRR) (The "Company") is pleased to
announce on February 6, 2013, executed a definitive Farm-In Agreement & Model
Form Operating Agreement (A.A.P.L. Form 610) with Anderson County Land Company
("ACLC") previously announced on January 3, 2013, to earn a 33.3333% working
interest in the Days Chapel Enhanced Oil Recovery ("EOR") Project ("Days Chapel"
or the "Project"), located in Anderson County, east Texas approx. 110 miles
southeast of Dallas, Texas. 


Britannica received TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") approval on the
transaction January 25, 2013. A finder's fee of 450,000 shares will be issuable
to Rex Obermann in stages, in accordance with Exchange rules and policies.


Britannica must expend US$1,500,000 in exploration expenditures on the Project
to earn an undivided 33.3333% working interest subject to a total royalty burden
of no more than 20%. Britannica has a further option to acquire up to an
additional 17.6667% working interest (in 1% increments) of the Project. The
purchase price shall be based on a National Instrument 51-101 compliant revised
independent Reserve Report and will utilize the value of Proven plus Probable
oil reserves at a 20% discounted present value, subject to certain maximum
prices depending on valuation methodology used. The purchase price can be paid
by up to 2/3rd in shares of Britannica with the remainder in cash based on an
agreed formula.


The first phase of the exploration program on the Days Chapel Project is
expected to begin shortly, it will include a Drill Coring Program, independent
laboratory analysis and geological review. The results from the Drill Coring
Program will provide information to update a NI 51-101 compliant independent
reservoir engineering report such that all or a portion of Probable Reserves can
be reclassified as Proven Undeveloped Reserves. Also, Britannica intends to
commission a Reservoir Modeling engineering firm to model the Days Chapel pool
using a data set inclusive of the Coring Program results, that will recommend
the best enhanced oil recovery techniques, which may include lateral or
horizontal drilling that will maximize the recovery factor and reduce the fully
developed and produced cost per barrel.


The Days Chapel oilfield in Anderson County, East Texas is shallow Carrizo sand
(Eocene Formation) at a depth of 550 feet to 700 feet. The formation lacks
natural reservoir "drive" in the form of solution natural gas or water drive.
Accordingly, it must be artificially heated to enable the oil to be produced.
The Days Chapel oilfield is one of a number of contiguous Carrizo oilfields in
the southern part of Anderson County. Whereas the Carrizo formation lacks
natural reservoir energy in the form of solution natural gas or water drive, in
the late 1960's Shell Oil Company developed the Slocum field, less than two
miles south of Days Chapel with a full scale steam-injection using vertical well
7-spot injection patterns. Slocum was Shell's initial steam injection EOR
project, in North America, producing over 4 million barrels of oil. Expertise
developed by Shell, at Slocum, was subsequently applied on its Belridge (Kern
River) heavy oilfield in the San Joaquin Valley of California near Bakersfield
as well as in its Alberta heavy oil fields. 


Shell drilled 11 core holes at Days Chapel and this data was used by a successor
operating company, Dallas Gas & Electric ("DG&E"), to map the Days Chapel
oilfield in the early 1990's. DG&E also drilled a number of core holes to
calculate the porosity, permeability, and oil saturation of this reservoir as
well as one test oil well. The data from these core holes and oil well was
applied, together with the Shell core hole data, by DG&E to prepare Upper
Carrizo Sand Net Pay Isopach maps for Days Chapel and determine OOIP. DG&E was
placed in Chapter 11 bankruptcy by 1993, and as such never pursued development
of the Project. 


Characteristics of the Carrizo formation obtained from the core holes and test
well are:




--  Oil gravity - 18 degrees to 20 degrees API; 
--  Viscosity - 800centipose; 
--  Porosity - Average of 36%; 
--  Permeability - 1,500 Millidarcies, and 
--  Oil saturation - 45%.



The Days Chapel Project has established infrastructures that include paved
highways throughout the property, rail access, a sale gas pipeline runs through
property, good water sources with rights, valid lease and Mineral Deeds have
been assembled by ACLC over a 4-year period. The Project is strategically
located close to the Gulf Coast Refineries in the Houston Ship Channel and
Beaumont/Lake Charles areas. The price differential has ranged between $20.00
and $30.00 per barrel higher in January 2013 as compared to what Canadian oil
producers received.
