Pennant Announces Plans to Drill the First Success Well at Its New Oil Exploration Project in the Mantario Area of West Central Saskatchewan Focusing on the Lower Mannville

Vancouver, BC, September 4, 2013 - Pennant Energy Inc. ("Pennant" or the "Company") (TSXV: PEN) is pleased to announce that it plans to spud its first Success Formation well at its new oil exploration project located in the Mantario area of West Central Saskatchewan (the "Mantario Project") in the fourth quarter of 2013.

The Mantario Project consists of 1,440 gross acres (net 432 acres) of P&NG rights located approximately 21 kilometers southeast of Rock Energy Inc.'s Mantario oil project. Pennant will earn a 30% working interest by payment of 50% of the drilling, completing, equipping and tie-in costs of the first well. At this time, the well is scheduled to spud from a surface location at 15d-6-26-24W3 with a total depth of 1,000 meters.

Garth Braun, President and CEO of Pennant stated, "The Mantario Project has been developed with an extensive due diligence process including the shooting of 960 km of 3D and the processing of 2D and 3D seismic data. The Mantario Project has strong analogue support to Rock Energy's Mantario oil discovery that currently has 31 wells in production. Pennant will be looking to aggressively explore and develop this oil project. "

Pennant is also pleased to announce that it has appointed Ron Schmitz to the board of directors and to the Company's audit committee. Mr. Schmitz is currently the Chief Financial Officer of the Company.
