1. Funds used in operations is calculated as cash used in operating
activities and adding changes in non-cash working capital, if any. Funds
used in operations per share is calculated using the basic and diluted
weighted-average number of shares for the period. Funds used in
operations and funds used in operations per share are used to analyze
Cumberland's operating performance. Funds used in operations and funds
used in operations per share do not have standardized measures
prescribed by Canadian GAAP and therefore may not be comparable with
calculations of similar measures for other companies.
2. Working capital includes cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable,
deposits and prepaid expenses, and accounts payable and accrued
liabilities.

Valhalla Doe Creek "M" Pool
During the month of July, Cumberland drilled, cased and completed two new light
oil wells at Valhalla. The new wells were completed in the Doe Creek interval
and placed on production in early August. Coincident with the drilling of these
new producing wells, two existing producing oil wells were re-stimulated and
converted to water injection wells. Water injection tests were conducted on
these wells and Cumberland has submitted an application for water injection
approval to the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board.
The construction of injection and gathering facilities at Valhalla is underway
and Cumberland expects to commence full scale water injection in October,
subject to receipt of all regulatory approvals.
Reader Advisories
Forward-Looking Statements: This news release contains certain forward-looking
statements, including management's assessment of future plans and operations,
including expectations on the commencement of water injection operations at
Valhalla and the timing thereof, that involve substantial unknown risks,
uncertainties and assumptions, some of which are beyond the Company's control.
Such risks, uncertainties and assumptions include, without limitation, those
associated with oil and gas exploration, development, exploitation, production,
marketing, processing and transportation, loss of markets, volatility of
commodity prices, imprecision of reserve estimates, environmental risks, failure
to receive the requisite regulatory approvals, competition from other producers,
inability to retain drilling rigs and other services, delays resulting from or
inability to obtain required regulatory approvals and ability to access
sufficient capital from internal and external sources, the impact of general
economic conditions globally and in Canada, industry conditions, changes in laws
and regulations (including the adoption of new environmental laws and
regulations) and changes in how they are interpreted and enforced, the lack of
availability of qualified personnel or management, fluctuations in foreign
exchange or interest rates, stock market volatility and obtaining required
approvals of regulatory authorities. Cumberland's actual results, performance or
achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by,
those forward-looking statements and, accordingly, no assurances can be given
that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will
transpire or occur, or if any of them do so, what benefits that Cumberland will
derive therefrom. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list is not
exhaustive. Additional information on these and other factors that could affect
Cumberland's operations and financial results are included in reports on file
with Canadian securities regulatory authorities and may be accessed through the
SEDAR website (www.sedar.com). All subsequent forward-looking statements,
whether written or oral, attributable to Cumberland or persons acting on its
behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements.
Furthermore, the forward-looking statements contained in this news release are
made as at the date of this news release and Cumberland does not undertake any
obligation to update publicly or to revise any of the included forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise,
except as may be required by applicable securities laws.
Boe's may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion of
6 mcf: 1 bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily
applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the
wellhead.
