After giving the matter due consideration, the Board of Directors of Petro-Reef
Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:PER) ("Petro-Reef" or the "Company") announces its
decision to postpone the Company's Annual and Special Meeting from June 7, 2012
at 3:00 pm to July 4, 2012 at 3:00 pm at the Calgary Petroleum Club, 319 - 5th
Avenue SW, Calgary, Alberta, T2P 0L5.


The postponement was made necessary as a result of the dissident proxy circular
filed by Cavalon Capital Corp. on May 22nd, 2012 without any advance notice to
Petro-Reef's Board and just 12 days before the scheduled Annual and Special
Meeting. The Board considers itself bound by its fiduciary obligations to ensure
that shareholders of Petro-Reef have enough information before them to make an
informed decision. Shareholders require more time to receive, evaluate and react
to important information from both the Company and the dissidents. The Board
believes that postponing the Annual and Special Meeting for a short period is
reasonable, and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders for a
number of reasons, including:




--  The Company released its First Quarter results and positive results of
    the Company via press release on May 28, 2012. Receipt of this important
    information by shareholders cannot be guaranteed ahead of the deadline
    for proxy filing by some non-registered shareholders. 
--  The Company has informed the dissident that its proxy circular did not
    include sufficient information to permit the shareholders to make a
    reasoned decision, and also did not include clear viable and binding
    indications of their financing commitments. 
--  The dissidents' proxy circular was not specific on operating and
    financial projections and plans. The Company has asked the dissident to
    release detailed operating and financing information and plans to
    shareholders so that it may be compared to the Company's information. 
--  Postponing the Annual and Special Meeting does not affect any
    shareholders' rights. Any shareholders who intend to vote against the
    directors proposed by the Petro-Reef Board are still entitled to do so. 



Based on historic proxy return rates, management believes that many shareholders
had declined to return their proxies as they did not realize there could be a
contentious issue, and had simply discarded their Company form of proxy. As a
result the Company now considers it necessary to re-issue a Management
Information Circular and to resend proxies to all shareholders to ensure that
they have the option of voting for their preferred choice.


While the dissident has every right to proceed in the manner that they are
proceeding, the Board of Petro-Reef has to respond in a clear and timely manner
to ensure the democratic process of shareholder rights is preserved. The Company
will be releasing additional detailed information on its plans for growth so
that every shareholder can evaluate both positions.


Finally, the Company is aware of other parties who have signed Confidentiality
Agreements with Petro-Reef that are considering alternate proposals that may be
more favourable and concrete to our shareholders than the dissident proposal.
These parties only received our First Quarter results and reserves update on May
28, 2012, and need time to incorporate the new information into their
evaluations of Petro-Reef and the effect the new information has on their
potential proposals. Besides needing time for these potentially superior
proposals to be presented and then evaluated by the Board, the shareholders
would of course need time to evaluate their options.


In the interim, Petro-Reef reminds shareholders to TAKE NO ACTION with respect
to any proxy form that they may have received as the Company will be providing
shareholders with new proxy voting forms along with its response to the
dissident circular.
