Progress Report Tahara #1-28H Well Pawnee County, Oklahoma

Oklahoma based (Australian Securities Exchange listed) oil and gas exploration and production company, Red Fork Energy Limited (“Red Fork” or the “Company”) is very pleased to provide the following update on production testing operations at the Tahara #1-28H well, in Pawnee County Oklahoma.

As of Monday November 29, 2011 the well has been pumping continuously on an electric submersible pump (“ESP”) for approximately 72 hours. To date we have recovered only 6,000 of approximately 70,000 barrels of load water (injected during the reservoir stimulation operations) and we are already seeing rapidly increasing shows of oil and rich (high BTU) gas.

This production testing profile (used to establish the 30 day peak rate) is consistent with those seen in off setting wells drilled by other operators in this part of the play.

Bottom hole pressures are normal for this depth and we are gradually lowering the fluid level (currently still about 650 feet from the surface). Importantly this establishes that the reservoir stimulation operations where both effective and contained within the productive zone.

The rate of pumping via the ESP is being monitored on a continuous basis as the well continues to flow intermittently and the load water is recovered.

Commenting on this release Red Fork Managing Director David Prentice said, “We are delighted with these early results from the Tahara #1-28H well which indicate that with further testing this well could establish itself as one of the better performers in this part of the play. These early positive indications vindicate our acreage acquisition strategy. A great deal of time and technical effort has been used to carefully acquire only the best quality acres in the Mississippian play. As a consequence of this we are extremely well placed with a growing acreage position that we feel is amongst the best in play.”

Further updates will be provided as operations continue.

Yours faithfully

David Prentice Managing Director
