Marketwired Canada
Daylight Energy Ltd. ("Daylight" or the "Corporation") (TSX:DAY) is pleased to
provide an update of our recent production and operational activities, declare a
monthly $0.05 per share dividend for Q4 2010 and announce the redemption of our
Series B, 8.5% Convertible Unsecured Subordinated Debentures (the "Series B
Debentures").
Production & Operations Update
The primary focus of our 2010 drilling program has been the Cardium light oil
development in Pembina, where new horizontal and multi-frac completion
technologies have brought the largest legacy conventional oil field in Alberta
back into the forefront of new light oil development. Daylight spud 11 (10.5
net) Cardium wells since spring break-up, adding to the 9 (8.4 net) wells
drilled during Q1 2010. Of the 20 (18.9 net) Cardium wells drilled to date, 18
(16.9 net) are completed and on production with 2 (2.0 net) wells scheduled for
completion during Q4 2010. Production data for all of Daylight's 2010 Pembina
Cardium wells drilled to date are presented in the following table:

(i) Field estimates post recovery of load fluid. Blank cells indicated that the
well has not been on production for the indicated time period and are not
included in the calculated average for that column.
Of note for the preceding data:
-- Top producing well Tomahawk 16-28 continues producing with outstanding
performance.
-- Tomahawk 13-21 offset well averaged 976 Boe per day in its first 7 days,
Daylight's second best well to date.
-- 247 Boe per day actual average 30 day rate exceeds Daylight's type curve
30 day rate of 200 Boe per day by over 23%.
-- Six of Daylight's nine wells that have been on production for 90 days
have averaged over 100 Boe per day over that time period, with the
Tomahawk 16-28 well averaging 1,151 Boe per day over that period.
Daylight will continue to focus our capital program towards this play, expecting
to drill at least 10 additional wells during the remainder of 2010.
Field estimates during Q3 2010 indicate that Daylight achieved production of
over 42,000 Boe per day during the quarter with production, drilling, completion
and tie-in operations on track to deliver Daylight's 2010 annual guidance of
approximately 42,000 Boe per day with a December 2010 exit rate of approximately
45,000 Boe per day. Both annual and December 2010 exit estimates are prior to
the impact (if any) of our current non-core Disposition program. Despite
unusually wet conditions in many of Daylight's core properties, the Corporation
is pleased to announce that 13.7 net wells were spud by Daylight during Q3 2010.
In addition to the above activity Daylight, has been pursuing our well
established Deep Basin Core Cadomin resource play gas development in Elmworth
and our high liquids natural gas opportunities in our West Central Core area,
developing our extensive inventory of Bluesky, Cardium and Wilrich drilling
locations. Daylight anticipates releasing our full Q3 2010 financial and
operating results after close of trading on Tuesday, November 2, 2010.
Cash Dividends Maintained
Daylight's Q4 dividends are maintained at our existing level of $0.05 per share
per month. Details of these dividends are as follows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dividend Per
Record Date Ex-Dividend Date Dividend Payment Date Share(i)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
October 29, 2010 October 27, 2010 November 15, 2010 $0.05
November 30, 2010 November 26, 2010 December 15, 2010 $0.05
December 31, 2010 December 29, 2010 January 17, 2011 $0.05
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
(i) The dividend is considered an "eligible dividend" for tax purposes.
Daylight maintains its financial flexibility with bank debt of approximately
$330 million drawn against our $650 million credit facility at September 30,
2010.
Daylight expects to pay a sustainable dividend on a monthly basis, provided
however that any decision to pay dividends on the common shares will be made by
the Board of Directors on the basis of Daylight's funds from operations,
earnings, financial requirements, commodity price levels, legal requirements and
other conditions existing at such future times. Daylight currently intends to
designate all dividends to be "eligible dividends" for the purposes of the
Income Tax Act (Canada) such that shareholders who are individuals will benefit
from the enhanced gross-up and dividend tax credit mechanism under the Income
Tax Act (Canada).
Redemption of Series B, 8.5% Convertible Debentures
Daylight has also determined to redeem for cancellation all of its Series B,
8.5% Convertible Unsecured Subordinated Debentures (the "Series B Debentures")
with a redemption date of November 23, 2010 (the "Redemption Date"). There is an
aggregate of $53,197,000 principal amount of Series B Debentures outstanding
which have a maturity date of October 31, 2012. In connection with the
redemption, Daylight will be required to pay a redemption amount of $1,050 for
each $1,000 principal amount of Series B Debentures outstanding, for an
aggregate redemption price of $55,856,850 (the "Redemption Price"), plus all
accrued and unpaid interest up to but excluding the Redemption Date. In
accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the Series B Debentures,
Daylight will satisfy the Redemption Price by issuing and delivering to the
holders of the Series B Debentures that number of freely tradable common shares
of Daylight obtained by dividing the Redemption Price by 95% of the Current
Market Price (as such term is defined in the indenture) of the common shares,
less any applicable withholdings. No fractional common shares will be delivered
but, in lieu thereof Daylight will pay the cash equivalent of such fractional
common shares determined on the basis of the Current Market Price of the common
shares on the Redemption Date, less any applicable withholdings. All interest
accrued and unpaid on the Series B Debentures up to but excluding the Redemption
Date will also be paid in cash.
Recommencement of Dividend Reinvestment Plan
Daylight has also determined to recommence the operation of basic dividend
reinvestment component ("Basic DRIP") of its Premium Dividend(TM), Dividend
Reinvestment and Optional Common Share Purchase Plan (the "Plan"), under which
eligible Canadian-resident shareholders may reinvest the monthly dividends paid
by Daylight in additional common shares of Daylight at a 5% discount to the
average market price of the common shares (as defined in the Plan). The Premium
Dividend(TM) component and the optional common share purchase components of the
Plan will remain suspended at this time. The Basic DRIP component of the Plan
will be available beginning with the dividend to be paid by Daylight on or about
November 15, 2010 to shareholders of record on October 31, 2010.
Registered shareholders (i.e. a shareholder who has a physical share certificate
or similar document issued in their own name) who want to enroll in the Basic
DRIP may obtain the required Authorization Form from Valiant Trust Company (the
Plan agent) or from Daylight upon request, or at Daylight's website at
www.daylightenergy.com. A registered shareholder who was a participant in the
Basic DRIP in effect for Daylight's predecessor, Daylight Resources Trust, prior
to its suspension will be deemed to be a participant in the Basic DRIP component
of the Plan without any further action on their part. A shareholder who is a
beneficial owner of common shares (i.e., a shareholder whose common shares are
not registered in their own name but are instead held through a broker,
investment dealer, financial institution or other nominee) must contact the
broker or other nominee holder through which they hold their common shares to
enroll in or confirm their continued participation in the Basic DRIP. In order
to participate in the Basic DRIP for the dividends paid on or about November 15,
2010 to shareholders of record on October 31, 2010, proper Authorization Forms
or enrolment instructions must be received by Valiant Trust Company no later
than 3:00 p.m. (Calgary time) on October 28, 2010.

Barrels of Oil Equivalent
"Boe" or "barrel of oil equivalent" means barrel of oil equivalent on the basis
of 1 Boe to 6,000 cubic feet of natural gas. Boe's may be misleading,
particularly if used in isolation. A Boe conversion ratio of 1 Boe for 6,000
cubic feet of natural gas is based on an energy equivalency conversion method
primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value
equivalency at the wellhead.
