Excelsior Energy Limited (TSX VENTURE:ELE) ("Excelsior" or the "Company") is
pleased to announce that it has filed a patent application with the Canadian
Intellectual Property Office.


The patent application has been prepared in respect of a process developed by
Excelsior in consultation with Hot-Tec Energy Inc. ("Hot-Tec"). Hot-Tec is a
private company affiliated with members of the In Situ Combustion Research
Group, Department of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering, Schulich School of
Engineering, University of Calgary. The In Situ Combustion Research Group is a
global leader in the application of in situ combustion recovery processes.


The proprietary process (the "Process") is designed to prepare a viscous oil
reservoir for exploitation using combustion overhead gravity drainage (COGD).
The Process uses cyclic steam and steam flood techniques to predispose the
viscous oil reservoir to form a combustion chamber similar in geometry to the
steam chamber in steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD).


"We look forward to deploying the new technology as part of the Hangingstone
Experimental In Situ Combustion project", commented Robert Bailey, COO,
Excelsior Energy Limited. "Filing the patent application is an important step in
advancing the pilot project."


About Excelsior

Excelsior is an early stage, oil sands company with 58 operated sections on two
contiguous blocks in the Hangingstone and West Surmont areas of the Athabasca
Oil Sands Region near Fort McMurray, Alberta. The Company has developed a
proprietary in situ combustion technology ("Combustion Overhead Gravity
Drainage" or "COGD") which has game-changing potential in the development and
recovery of heavy oil and bitumen. An application for an experimental pilot
project to field demonstrate the COGD technology was submitted at the end of the
second quarter of 2009 with a targeted start up in early 2011. In addition, the
Company indirectly holds a 100% working interest in UK North Sea Licences P1500
and P1691 covering four part-blocks through its 75% owned subsidiary ENS Energy
Ltd. Excelsior's strategy is to capture oil and gas appraisal and development
opportunities where we can leverage Management's diverse international
operating, heavy oil and field development expertise.

deployment of such technology are forward-looking statements. These statements
are not a guarantee of future performance and involve a number of risks,
uncertainties and assumption including that there is no guarantee that the
Company's Process can or will successfully prepare a viscous oil reservoir for
exploitation using in-situ combustion, and even if the Company's COGD technology
can be used as described in this press release, there is no guarantee that such
use will result in improved efficiencies compared to other available
technologies.


The forward-looking statements contained in this document speak only as of the
