Working
Capital
The Company's working capital after allocating funds to the
previously reported operations on the Wapiti 01-26-64-8 W6M
exploration well and the 102/14- 30 -63-5 W6M ("102/14-30") upper
Montney well is estimated at $8 million. The Company has a $15
million revolving loan facility which is currently undrawn.

Operations
Update
Following the drilling of the upper Montney horizontal well at
102/14-30, the contracted drilling rig moved to a surface lease at
07-19-63-5 W6M and has drilled and cased its first of three
extended length horizontal middle Montney wells to a bottom hole
location at 100/08-20-63-5 W6M encountering approximately 1,983
metres of Montney reservoir. The second well with a bottom hole
location of 102/02-18-63-5 W6M is drilling at 150 metres from its
programed total depth of 5,390 metres encountering approximately
2,000 metres of Montney reservoir. The third well is expected to
spud before the end of May 2014 with a bottom hole location at
100/09-20-63-5 W6M. The first two of the three wells have been
drilled in fewer days than programed which will reflect in lower
well costs and improved well economics. Donnycreek has a 50%
working interest in the three wells.
In addition, Donnycreek is in the process of contracting a
second rig that is expected to be used to accelerate drilling at
Kakwa.
Donnycreek is a Calgary based public oil and gas company which
holds approximately 439 gross (313 net) sections of petroleum and
natural gas rights, with an average working interest of
approximately 70%, prospective primarily for Montney liquid rich
natural gas resource exploration and development all of which are
located in the Deep Basin area of west-central Alberta.

ADVISORY ON FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS: This news
release contains certain forward-looking information and statements
("forward-looking statements") within the meaning of applicable
securities laws. The use of any of the words "expect",
"anticipate", "continue", "estimate", "may", "will", "project",
"should", "believe", "plans", "intends" and similar expressions are
intended to identify forward-looking statements. In particular, but
without limiting the foregoing, this news release contains
statements concerning reserves, the timing of the spud of the third
extended length horizontal middle Montney well, the contracting of
a second drilling rig expected to be used to accelerate drilling at
Kakwa and the primary prospective zone for development on the
Company's lands.
Statements relating to reserves are by their nature
forward-looking statements, as they involve the implied assessment,
based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the reserves can
be profitably produced in the future. It should not be assumed that
the estimated future net cash flow shown below is representative of
the fair market value of the Company's properties. There is no
assurance that such price and natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and
natural gas reserves provided herein are estimates only and there
is no guarantee that the estimated reserves will be recovered.
Actual crude oil, NGLs and natural gas reserves may be greater than
or less than the estimates provided herein.
Forward-looking statements are based on a number of material
factors, expectations or assumptions of Donnycreek which have been
used to develop such statements and information but which may prove
to be incorrect. Although Donnycreek believes that the expectations
reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, undue
reliance should not be placed on them because Donnycreek can give
no assurance that they will prove to be correct. Since
forward-looking statements address future events and conditions, by
their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties.
Further, events or circumstances may cause actual results to differ
materially from those predicted as a result of numerous known and
unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors, many of which are
beyond the control of the Company, including, without limitation:
changes in commodity prices; changes in the demand for or supply of
the Company's products; unanticipated operating results or
production declines; changes in tax or environmental laws, royalty
rates or other regulatory matters; changes in development plans of
Donnycreek or by third party operators of Donnycreek's properties,
increased debt levels or debt service requirements; inaccurate
estimation of Donnycreek's oil and gas reserve and resource
volumes; limited, unfavourable or a lack of access to capital
markets; increased costs; a lack of adequate insurance coverage;
the impact of competitors; and certain other risks detailed from
time-to-time in Donnycreek's public disclosure documents.
Additional information regarding some of these risks, expectations
or assumptions and other factors may be found under in the
Company's Annual Information Form and Management's Discussion and
Analysis prepared for the year ended July 31, 2013. The reader is
cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking
statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this news
release are made as of the date hereof and Donnycreek undertakes no
obligations to update publicly or revise any forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events
or otherwise, unless so required by applicable securities laws.
In this press release the calculation of barrels of oil
equivalent (boe) is calculated at a conversion rate of six thousand
cubic feet (6 mcf) of natural gas for one barrel (bbl) of oil based
on an energy equivalency conversion method. Boes may be misleading
particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of 6 mcf:
1 bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily
applicable to the burner tip and does not represent a value
equivalency at the wellhead. Given that the value ratio based on
the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is
significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6:1,
utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an
indication of value. Natural gas liquids include condensate,
propane, butane and ethane.
Certain information set out herein may be considered as
"financial outlook" within the meaning of applicable securities
laws. The purpose of this financial outlook is to provide readers
with disclosure regarding Donnycreek's reasonable expectations as
to the anticipated results of its proposed business activities for
the periods indicated. Readers are cautioned that the financial
outlook may not be appropriate for other purposes.
NEITHER THE TSX-VENTURE EXCHANGE NOR ITS REGULATION SERVICES
PROVIDER (AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN THE POLICIES OF THE
TSX-VENTURE EXCHANGE) ACCEPTS RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ADEQUACY OR
ACCURACY OF THIS NEWS RELEASE.
