KDKN Kodiak Energy Inc (CE)

Kodiak Energy, Inc. (TSX VENTURE: KDK)(OTCBB: KDKN) ("Kodiak" or the "Corporation) announces that its majority controlled private subsidiary, Cougar Energy, Inc., has funded and completed the requirements of the "exclusivity contract" of the CREEnergy Oil and Gas Inc. agreement announced on December 1, 2008. Information on the CREEnergy project is located at http://www.cougarenergyinc.com.

The agreement provides for an "exclusivity contract" with CREEnergy for oil and gas properties for up to 15 townships or 345,000 gross acres of mineral rights in north central Alberta, Canada. The initial leases, as outlined in the agreement, are for mineral rights on a total of 46,000 gross acres for a lease term of 10 years. As the project moves forward, additional leases will be identified and added to the joint venture.

Cougar is working with CREEnergy to identify, prioritize and nominate the first mineral rights that will be leased, and finalizing the initial development plans for the fall/winter of 2009, which will include the evaluation of 4 to 6 high priority targets. The development plans will include the areas to be leased from CREEnergy and the additional mineral rights acquired in the farmin announced on June 9, 2009.

Bill Tighe, CEO of Cougar, states, "We are pleased with the completion of this critical milestone in our agreements with CREEnergy and look forward to the ongoing development of this agreement, which will continue with the leasing of the initial mineral rights."

These mineral leases and the general area have industry recognized production potential for light sweet crude oil and sweet natural gas. Adjoining mineral leases have low operating costs of approximately C$25.00 per barrel resulting in profitable net backs, even at the current, low commodity prices. A key example of the production potential would be the Trout and Senex Keg River oil pools that have yielded as much as 1.5 million barrels cumulative production per pool, or the Granite Wash oil pools with as much as 2 million barrels cumulative production per pool.
