Corporate Update June 26, 2000 Fox Energy Corporation is a junior exploration and production company trading on the Canadian Venture Exchange under the symbol ?FEC?. The Company currently produces approximately 500 barrels of oil equivalent per day from several projects in eastern Alberta and southwestern Saskatchewan. It has over 14,000 net acres of undeveloped land on its core properties. Fox participated in seven wells during the first half of the year resulting in two new producing gas wells and four oil wells for drilling success of 86%. The Company has plans to drill a total of 24 wells on seven existing projects in 2000. The Company recently signed an agreement to purchase an interest in two producing oil properties, comprising daily production of 80 barrels per day. One property has up to six development drilling locations and additional optimization upside. Fox has entered into an agreement to sell a non-operated interest in a producing property for a substantial profit over its cost base effectively reducing its bank debt by 45% to $2.3 million. The residual bank debt could be retired with discretionary cash flow in eight months based on management?s cash flow projections for 2000. Fox?s management expects to achieve cash flow of $0.15 per common share based on its pro forma estimates for 2000. Gross oil and gas revenue, cash flow and net income increased by 142%, 266%, and 922% respectively for the first three months of 2000. Based on its performance Fox Energy had an estimated net asset value of $0.69 per share at the end of March 2000. Continued record growth is anticipated with projected second quarter results due to be released in August. The Company currently has 24.6 million common shares issued and outstanding. Fox plans to drill 14 wells in the third quarter and to pursue additional producing asset acquisitions to accelerate growth in production and reserves in the short term.
