TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Nov. 23, 2011) - Changfeng Energy Inc., (TSX VENTURE:CFY) ("Changfeng" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce today that the Company has begun construction of pipelines and related facilities in Xiangdong district, Pingxiang City, Jiangxi province, China ("Xiangdong Project") after receipt of the approval of construction by the Xiangdong Government. The Xiangdong project was originally announced on May 26, 2010, pending the final approval of the project by the provincial energy regulator. The Company, through its majority-owned subsidiary, is responsible for the design, construction, and operation of pipeline networks in Xiangdong district, including its Pingxiang Industrial Ceramic Park (the "Park").

The construction consists of approximately 10 kilometers of mid-pressure pipeline in the Xiangdong downtown area, a 10 kilometers mid-pressure pipeline in the Park, and a gate station with CNG storage and gasification facilities to link the Xiangtan sub-line of the second West-East Pipeline. It is expected that the Xiangdong project will be completed in two phases to coincide with both the project financing and the commencement of construction of a 25 kilometer high-pressure pipeline. This high-pressure pipeline connecting the Company's gate station in Xiangdong District with Xiangtan sub-line of the second West-East Pipeline, will be built and operated by Jiangxi Provincial Natural Gas Investment Co., Ltd. a state-owned company.

The total capital investment for the Xiangdong project is expected to be approximately RMB34 million ($5.4 million), of which approximately RMB6 million ($1 million) for the first phase of construction and will be funded from its existing cash on hand, and the remaining capital requirement will be funded through project loan financing through local banks. Upon the completion of the first phase of construction planned for the middle of 2012, the Company will be able to gradually supply gas for this region through CNG facilities before pipeline gas arrives. The Company has been in discussion with several potential gas customers in the Park, many of which have provided serious expressions of interest in purchasing gas when available.

In addition, the Jiangxi Provincial Bureau of Energy has approved the Company's application for a natural gas quota for the Xiangdong project. Pursuant to the approval, from 2012 to 2015, the quota volume of natural gas to the Company will be 15 million m3 in 2012, 35 million m3 in 2013 and up to 50 million m3 in 2014 and 2015. This natural gas quota is allocated from the Province's Twelfth Five-Year Plan's gas quota that was assigned from, and will be supplied from the second West-East Pipeline by PetroChina, the owner and operator of the second West-East Pipeline. At the same time, the Company is negotiating with PetroChina's subsidiary in Jiangxi province to purchase CNG from its transmission substation in Pingxiang City as an alternative gas source before pipeline gas is available for this region and as a supplementary gas source in the future.

"We've made really good progress since we first announced this project eighteen months ago," Huajun Lin, President and CEO of the Company stated. "After more than one year of diligent research and preparation by a number of our staff, we're thrilled to commence construction and obtain gas quota approval. We are fully confident that our implementation team will be able to implement the construction plan as scheduled, and commence supplying gas for this region by the middle of 2012."

A Potential Gas Utilization Project in Development in Xiangtan City, Hunan Province, China

The Company, together with a company owned by the local municipality, Xiangtan Economic Construction and Development Investment Co.

About the Second West-East Pipeline

The second west-east pipeline is part of the ongoing natural gas pipeline infrastructure in China. It transfers natural gas from the shores of Turkmenistan's Amu Darya River directly to the Pearl River Delta after passing through China's 15 province-level regions.

As a major national project of China's 11th Five-Year Plan, the second West-East gas transmission project is more than 8,700 kilometers in length and is the world's longest natural gas pipeline, with a total investment of RMB142 billion.

Composed of eight sub-lines and one major line, the second West-East Pipeline project starts from Khorgos, Xinjiang in the west and reaches Shanghai in the east and Guangzhou and Hong Kong in the south. It runs across China's eastern and western ends and passes through 15 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities. It has the capacity to annually transmit 30 billion cubic meters of natural gas with a minimum service life of more than 30 years.

The construction of the second West-East Pipeline started on 22 February 2008, and the major line of the second west-east pipeline was officially put into operation on June 30, 2011.

After the full completion of its sub-lines in 2012, the operation of the second west-east pipeline project will provide China's energy sector with another major artery and will help ease the shortage of natural gas, enhance the efficiency of the national gas pipeline network, and further optimize China's energy consumption structure.
