Fairmount Energy Inc. ("Fairmount" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:FMT) is
pleased to announce that at a special meeting of Fairmount shareholders held
today, the shareholders of Fairmount approved the amalgamation of Fairmount and
4513398 Canada Inc. ("Delphi Subco"), a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Delphi
Energy Corp. ("Delphi"). It is expected that the amalgamation will be effected
on or before November 30, 2009.


The amalgamated corporation, which will also be called Fairmount Energy Inc.
("Amalco"), will become a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Delphi. As a result
of the amalgamation, and in accordance with the amalgamation agreement dated
October 28, 2009 between Fairmount and Delphi Subco, each of the common shares
of Fairmount previously held by Fairmount shareholders (other than dissenting
shareholders and Delphi) will be converted into one Amalco redeemable preferred
share.


Immediately following the amalgamation, each Amalco redeemable preferred share
held by former Fairmount shareholders will be redeemed in exchange for 0.3571 of
a common share of Delphi. As a result of such redemption, a holder of Amalco
redeemable preferred shares will be deemed for Canadian income tax purposes to
have received a deemed dividend equal to the amount, if any, by which the fair
market value of the common shares of Delphi received on the redemption exceeds
the paid-up capital for Canadian income tax purposes of the Amalco redeemable
preferred shares. For this purpose, Amalco estimates the paid-up capital of each
Amalco redeemable preferred share to be approximately $1.07 per share. Full
particulars of the amalgamation and subsequent redemption of the Amalco
redeemable preferred shares were described in the information circular mailed to
shareholders of Fairmount dated October 28, 2009 (the "Circular"). Holders
should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the income tax
consequences to them of the above noted transactions.


In addition, the meeting materials are available on the SEDAR website at
www.sedar.com and contain instructions for such shareholders to receive the
consideration payable to them in connection with the amalgamation and
redemption.


The common shares of Fairmount are expected to be delisted from and no longer
traded on the TSX Venture Exchange as soon as possible, in accordance with the
respective rules and policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.


Fairmount will also apply to cease to be a reporting issuer under applicable
Canadian securities laws, subject to the satisfaction of applicable regulatory
requirements.
