Tuscany International Drilling Inc. (TSX:TID) ("Tuscany" or the "Company") is
pleased to announce that it has signed two contracts with HRT Oil and Gas
("HRT"). Under the contracts with HRT, Tuscany will provide two 1500 hp
heliportable drilling rigs in Brazil, beginning operations in the first quarter
of 2011. The term of the contracts is four years with an option to renew. The
contracts have the potential to generate over $100 million of revenue over the
initial term of the contracts.


Tuscany is pleased to be a key drilling rig provider to HRT, who recently
concluded a successful initial public offering. The contracts with HRT represent
Tuscany's entry into Brazil and the Company has opened operational and
administrative offices in Rio de Janeiro and Manaus in order to support
operations and services in the country.


A drilling contract has also been signed with a Peruvian affiliate of Gran
Tierra Energy Inc. to provide a heliportable rig in Peru, which marks Tuscany's
entry into Peru. In addition, a number of contracts have been signed in
Tuscany's existing operating areas of Colombia, Ecuador and Guyana.


Of the eight newly constructed rigs remaining to be deployed to South America,
four have been shipped and are currently unloading in ports in South America.
Three are unloading in Santa Marta, Colombia and the fourth rig is unloading in
Callou, Peru. A fifth newly built rig has been transported from Red Deer,
Alberta to Houston, Texas and is scheduled to be shipped to South America on
November 6, 2010 and a sixth newly built rig is scheduled to be loaded and
trucked from Red Deer to Houston on November 8, 2010 and shipped to South
America in mid November 2010. The two remaining rigs, destined for Brazil, are
anticipated to complete construction in November 2010 and be transported
immediately upon completion.


Tuscany currently has nine rigs operational in South America. The Company plans
to have its current fleet of 17 rigs completely operational in South America in
January 2011 with nine rigs in Colombia, four in Ecuador, two in Brazil, one in
Peru and one in Guyana.


In addition, the Company has drawn an additional US$30 million loan under its
existing senior secured guaranteed term credit facility with Credit Suisse, who
is acting as one of the lenders and as the Administrative Agent. US$45 million
remains available to be drawn under the facility, subject to the Company
complying with certain conditions. In consideration for underwriting the upsize
of the facility, Tuscany granted Credit Suisse and another underwriter the
aggregate of 2,400,000 share purchase warrants. The warrants are exercisable at
US$1.50 per warrant, expire 2.5 years from the date of grant and are subject to
a hold period expiring on March 3, 2011. Loan proceeds will be used for general
corporate purposes including short term working capital as the rig fleet is
deployed, initial costs associated with the expansion into Brazil and Peru,
upgrades to existing equipment, and for completion and deployment of the two
1,500 hp drilling rigs destined for Brazil.
