Oil Optimization Inc. (TSX VENTURE: OOI.H) ("OOI" or the "Company"), a capital
pool company previously listed on the NEX board of the TSX Venture Exchange (the

The Company also announces that it has replaced a bank guarantee (the
"Guarantee") previously posted with the Thai government by an arm's length third
party (the "Guarantor") to secure the Company's exploration obligations in
respect of Block L3/50 (the "Exploration Obligations"). The Guarantee was posted
pursuant to the terms of a guarantee agreement dated February 22, 2010 among Red
Stag, JSX Energy (Thailand) Limited ("JSX Energy"), a wholly owned subsidiary of
Red Stag, and the Guarantor (the "Guarantee Agreement"), and was secured by a
call option agreement dated February 22, 2010 between JSX Energy and the
Guarantor (the "Call Option Agreement"). The Company has repaid all fees and
penalties payable to the Guarantor in connection with the Guarantee and has
terminated the Guarantee Agreement and Call Option Agreement effective November
3, 2010. The outstanding obligations of the Company in respect of the Guarantee
will be terminated upon satisfaction of the Exploration Obligations.


Pursuant to the Qualifying Transaction, Luc Desmarais, the President and a
director of the Company, acquired ownership or control over 29,000,000 common
shares (the "Shares") of the Company, representing approximately 23.80% of the
issued and outstanding common shares of the Company. The 29,000,000 Shares were
issued on October 27, 2010 at a deemed value of $0.085 per Share pursuant to a
share exchange agreement among the Company, Red Stag and the shareholders of Red
Stag dated as of September 30, 2010, and consist of 25,000,000 Shares held by
JSX Energy Holdings (BVI) Ltd., a company controlled by Mr. Desmarais, and
4,000,000 Shares held directly by Mr. Desmarais. Mr. Desmarais did not hold any
securities of the Company prior to this transaction. The Shares are subject to
an escrow period in accordance with the policies of the TSXV.


Mr. Desmarais acquired the Shares for investment purposes and may from time to
time acquire additional common shares of the Company either on the open market
or through private acquisitions or may sell the Shares either on the open market
or through private dispositions. This news release is being issued under the
early warning provisions of Canadian provincial securities legislation.
