Xcite Energy Limited ("Xcite Energy" or the "Company") 9/3b-6 Well Update

This Announcement Is Not for Release, Publication or Distribution in or Into the United States.

Xcite Energy (TSX-V: XEL) (LSE: XEL) (AIM: XEL) -- The Company is pleased to announce that the 9/3b-6 well on the Bentley field is progressing on plan, on schedule and has reached target depth for the first part of the planned work programme, the pilot section of the well.

The pilot section confirmed 113ft oil column, some 40ft thicker than the 73ft prognosis, in a high quality Dornoch reservoir and confirmed the oil water contact at 3729ft total vertical depth (on prognosis). The oil column has 100% net to gross (compared to previous average of 88%). Management believes that this height of oil column confirms that an upside structure is present in the eastern half of the reservoir, significantly increasing the volume of oil in place.
