SXE Strata X Energy Ltd

--  Closed acquisition of the 23,595 acre Copper Mountain Oil Project in the
    Illinois Basin. 
--  Increased total acreage position in Illinois Basin by almost 50% to
    approximately 72,000 acres. 
--  Approximately 1.5 billion barrels of historical light oil production is
    adjacent to and within 20 miles (32 km) of Strata-X's Illinois Basin
    acreage position. 
--  The Copper Mountain Project has one horizontal well productive from a
    new unconventional oil play which is interpreted to extend over the
    Project area. 
--  In addition, there are multiple shallow (700 to 1500 metre) conventional
    and unconventional light oil targets which Strata-X plans to develop
    using modern exploration and completion methods. 



Further to press releases dated March 5 and March 20, 2014, the directors and
management of Strata-X Energy Ltd. ("Strata-X" or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE:SXE)(ASX:SXA) are pleased to announce that the Company's Purchase and
Sale Agreement to acquire 23,595 acres of production and exploration assets in
the Illinois Basin (the "Acquisition") has formally closed. The Acquisition is
known as the Copper Mountain Oil Project and is prospective for conventional and
unconventional light oil accumulations in shallow Mississippian age formations
(from 700 metres depth) as well as the deeper Devonian age formations (approx.
1200 to 1600 metres depth). 


Strata-X now owns a 100% net working interest in oil and gas exploration rights
on approximately 72,000 net acres covering the Vail and Copper Mountain Oil
Projects in the Illinois Basin, USA. The acreage position that Strata-X has
assembled is located within a 20 mile radius of oil fields that have produced
over 1.5 billion barrels of oil from a multitude of producing formations. Most
of these formations are prospective under the Company's acreage.


Total consideration for the Acquisition is USD$2.25 Million, which Strata-X
funded with existing cash reserves. Included in the Acquisition is a producing
horizontal well which has an estimated net present value of approximately
USD$1.7 million(1) as confirmed by a qualified third party reserve analyst
employing a 10% discount rate. 


This Acquisition marks an increased focus by Strata-X on the prolific Illinois
Basin where over 4 billion barrels of light oil from multiple formations have
been produced. Strata-X plans to use modern exploration and completion methods
to explore and develop the substantial conventional and unconventional light oil
potential it has identified.

Project Presentation found on the Company's website at www.strata-x.com.

(1) This information relates to Petroleum Reserves/Prospective
Resources/Contingent Resources that was prepared and published by Chapman
Petroleum Engineers Ltd. and dated 21 March 2014 and published on Strata-X
Energy Ltd's website to meet the Company's ongoing disclosure requirements
(available online at www.strata-x.com), and fairly represents, information and
supporting documentation prepared by, or under the supervision of Charles Moore,
employed by Chapman Petroleum Engineers Ltd. which is independent of Strata-X
Energy Ltd. At the time of the Chapman Petroleum Engineers Ltd. report dated 21
March 2014, Charles Moore was an employee of Chapman Petroleum Engineers Ltd.
and a member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) amongst other
professional petroleum organisations. Chapman Petroleum Engineers Ltd. and
Charles Moore consent to the inclusion of this information in this document. As
of the issuance of this document, Strata-X Energy Ltd management is not aware of
any material information that would change the results of the Chapman Petroleum
Engineers Ltd. report as published in this this document. Reserve information
included in this document for the Blessing #1 well are Petroleum 1P Reserves,
per an independent reserve report dated 21 March 2014 from Chapman Petroleum
Engineers Ltd. who's author, Charles Moore, member Society of Petroleum
Engineers, consents to the inclusion of this reserve information in this Press
Release as it appears. Figures shown reflect Strata-X's economic interest in the
property using a deterministic estimation method. 

Strata-X is the operator of the well and holds a 100% working interest in the
Blessing #1, 160 acre unit comprised of approximately 80 individual
leases/tenements, which is operated via the Company's operating license's in the
State, a well permit and a tank battery permit held or in the process of being
transferred to the Company from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources.
Estimates of future production are based on historical production testing of the
well. The reference point for reserves is the associated tank batteries for the
well. The economic assumptions used to generate reserve information on the
Blessing #1 well are as follows: $90 oil net at reference point, USD$1,500
monthly operating costs, USD$0.50 per water barrel for disposal, USD$30,000
immediate facilities investment, 84.76% Net Revenue Interest, 24 August 2029
abandonment date, forecasted future production, USD $25,000 plugging costs and
USD$80,000 equipment salvage value. The Blessing #1 well was given commercial
producibility status by the Company following it and Charles Moore's review of
its historical production. Reserves estimates were generated following a review
of the producing reservoir, historical production rates and the planned
production method of the well (artificial pump lift). Production quantities over
the projected economic lifespan on the Blessing #1 well without significant
further investment, are expected to be 37,440 gross and 31,730 net barrels of
oil.

per NI 51-101/5.6 "the estimated values disclosed do not represent fair market
value."
