SNDD RedHawk Holdings Corporation (CE)

Independence Energy Corp. (OTCBB: IDNG) (the "Company" or "Independence Energy") is pleased to announce that the Company has executed a definitive agreement for the acquisition of up to a 25.0% working interest in the highly prospective Coleman South Lease exploration joint development project located in Coleman County, Texas (the "Agreement"). The Coleman South Lease project covers an area of 2,400 acres situated approximately 3/4 mile from the location of the Shields-MEI #105H horizontal well currently being drilled and in which the Company also holds an interest.

"Based on the initial positive indications of oil from the Shields-MEI #105H horizontal well currently being drilled, we believe this relatively large and timely land acquisition in the immediate area is a very positive step towards building a long-term pipeline of new exploration and development prospects for the Company," stated Mr. Gregory C. Rotelli, CEO and President of Independence Energy. "Historically, these leases have been reported to have produced significant quantities of oil and gas from the Gardner Sand and Jennings Sand formations using the technology available at the time, but, like the Shields-MEI #105H lease, remain under-exploited or untouched in several formations using modern drilling and completion techniques. We estimate that it could possibly require 15 or more horizontal wells to develop the field to its full potential."

Under terms of the Agreement, the Company has immediately acquired a 12.5% working interest in the Coleman South Lease exploration project and holds an option to increase its working interest to 25.0% within the next 60 days.

Further updates regarding the Coleman South Lease Joint Development project and other Independence Energy business will be made as additional information becomes available.
