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 Letter of Intent to acquire an additional 2% interest in the highly prospective MontCrest Energy Drilling Program #3 in Coleman County, Texas (the "MontCrest Drill Program"). If completed, the proposed acquisition will raise the Company's ownership of the active exploration project to 7% from the current 5% level.

The MontCrest Drill Program consists of a turnkey participation in two exploration wells, the Shields-MEI #105H and Vaughn-MEI #106, targeting multiple oil-bearing sand formations previously productive in the region. The Shields-MEI #105H horizontal well is currently in the final stages of drilling and it has been reported that the well has displayed several characteristics that indicate the presence of hydrocarbons in the targeted Gardner Sandstone formation, including significant visible oil cut/staining and a strong distinct odor.

"Based on our current positive assessment of the MontCrest Drill Program, including the indication that drilling may have encountered oil at the Shields-MEI #105H horizontal well, we believe that adding to our current ownership interest fits our aggressive growth strategy," stated Mr. Gregory C. Rotelli, CEO and President of Independence Energy. "We hope to conclude negotiations with the current interest holder during the next few days prior to the completion of the Shields-MEI #105H horizontal well."

The proposed acquisition remains subject to, among other things, legal title review, completion of satisfactory due diligence, and transfer of consideration.

Further updates regarding the potential acquisitions and other Independence Energy business will be made as additional information becomes available.
