BBI Blackbird Energy

Blackbird Energy Inc. (TSX VENTURE:BBI) ("Blackbird" or the "Company"), is
pleased to provide the following update on our Bigstone, highly liquids rich
natural gas resource project. 


The fracing and completion operations planned for our recently drilled, Montney
"Extended Reach" horizontal well 00/13-33-060-22W5/0, have been delayed due to
the annual spring break-up imposed road-bans which were activated during the
second week of April. Movement of heavy equipment over secondary road systems in
foothills areas, such as those required to access the Bigstone field, is
restricted during the wet, spring thaw period to minimize road damage. Duration
and extent of active road-bans are variable, typically ending during late May to
mid-June, contingent upon weather conditions. As soon as practicable, after road
bans are removed, in accordance with the "Cross-Conveyed Pooling and
Participation Agreement" the operator will commence the completion phase of the
operations. The well is equipped with liner and packer assembly configuration
which will provide the ability to conduct up to 27 frac stages. Blackbird holds
an undivided 12.5% pooled interest in the Pooled Lands and is participating as
to a 12.5% working interest in the drilling and completion of the 13-33-060-22W5
well. 


As stated in our April 10, 2012 press release, construction of the surface
production facilities and 1.6 mile, 8 inch pipeline to the Delphi operated gas
gathering system has been completed and ready for production. The gas gathering
plant through which our production will be processed, is scheduled for major
plant turnaround maintenance operations and may take up to 6 weeks or to the end
of June, delaying our previous estimated start-up date to sometime during the
latter part of June.
