Sentinel Rock Oil Inc. and Sundance Energy Corporation to Complete Business Combination

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Jan. 17, 2011) -

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES.

Sentinel Rock Oil Inc. ("Sentinel Rock") (TSX VENTURE:SNT) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a letter of intent dated December 22, 2010 with Sundance Energy Corporation ("Sundance Energy" or "the Company") that sets out the basic terms and conditions pursuant to which it is intended that Sentinel Rock and Sundance Energy will complete a business combination (the "Proposed Transaction"). Sentinel Rock is at arms' length to Sundance Energy. All officers, directors and certain shareholders of Sentinel Rock collectively holding approximately 51% of the outstanding shares in Sentinel Rock have agreed to enter into lock up agreements supporting the Proposed Transaction.

Sundance Energy is a Calgary, Alberta based private exploration and production company with a primary focus of developing its conventional light crude oil and gas projects in the Province of Saskatchewan. Sundance Energy's management team of experienced oil and gas professionals is led by Jeff Standen, C.E.O., President and Director and Ross Moulton, V.P. Exploration.

Muskowekwan Project

Sundance Energy has strategically assembled the rights to explore on approximately 70,000 gross and net acres of First Nations land on the Muskowekwan (the "Muskowekwan First Nations Project") and Ochapowace First Nations lands in Southern Saskatchewan that is on trend for Bakken, Torquay, Birdbear, Second White Specks and Shaunavon oil and gas production. Sundance has exclusive access to a large multi-component 2D and 3D seismic data set, obtained through a license from publicly traded Encanto Potash Corporation (EPO-TSXV) and First Nations.

The Company commissioned DeGolyer and MacNaughton Canada Limited ("DeGolyer"), an independent Calgary-based firm of geological and petroleum engineering consultants, to conduct an independent technical review and assessment of the undiscovered hydrocarbon resource of three prospects including the Bakken, Torquay and Second White Specks formations on Muskowekwan First Nations Project which lands are located approximately 165 kilometers northeast of Regina, Saskatchewan ("the DeGolyer Report").

The Muskowekwan First Nations Project, where Sundance Energy holds a 100% working interest, is situated in Townships 26 + 27, Ranges 14 to 16 W2M in Eastern Saskatchewan. The Company has identified the Second White Specks, Bakken and Torquay as being formations of interest for hydrocarbons on the Muskowekwan First Nations Project.

The DeGolyer Report, prepared as at September 30, 2010, pursuant to the Canadian Securities National Instruments 51-101 Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities, assigns prospective Oil and Gas Resources to the Second White Specks, Torquay and Bakken formations. A summary of the DeGolyer Report's estimates of the Company's gross working-interest (100% interest) prospective oil and gas resources on the Muskowekwan First Nations Project, expressed in thousands of barrels and (Mbbl) for oil and millions of cubic feet (MMcf) for sales gas are as set out in the following table. 

		Low Estimate		Best Estimate		High Estimate		Mean Estimate
Gross Working-Interest Prospective Oil Resources, Mbbl		693		1,390		2,734		1,574
Gross Working Interest Prospective Gas Resources, MMcf		190		496		1,123		590

Notes:

1. Recovery efficiency is applied to prospective resources in this table.

2. The geologic risk factor ("Pg") is 0.147 for gas and 0.124 for oil. Application of any risk factor to prospective resources quantities does not equate prospective resources with contingent resources or reserves.

3. There is no certainty that any portion of the prospective resources estimated herein will be discovered. If discovered, there is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the prospective resources evaluated.

4. Gross working-interest prospective oil resources is 100-percent.

Estimates of the gross working-interest (100-percent) Pg-adjusted mean prospective oil and gas resources quantities, as of September 30, 2010, are summarized as follows, expressed in thousands of barrels and (Mbbl) for oil and millions of cubic feet (MMcf) for sales gas.

	Mean Estimate
Gross Working-Interest Pg-Adjusted Prospective Oil Resources, Mbbl	196
Gross Working-Interest Pg-Adjusted Prospective Gas Resources, MMcf	87

Notes:

1. The Pg is 0.147 for gas and 0.124 for oil. Application of Pg does not equate prospective resources to contingent resources or reserves.

2. Recovery efficiency is applied to prospective resources in this table.

3. There is no certainty that any portion of the prospective resources estimated herein will be discovered. If discovered, there is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the prospective resources evaluated.

4. Gross working-interest Pg-adjusted prospective oil resources is 100-percent.

"Prospective Resources" means those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from undiscovered accumulations by application of future development projects. More detailed information about the definition of Prospective Resources can be found in National Instrument 51-101.

In 2011, upon completion of the Proposed Transaction, the resulting issuer (the "Resulting Issuer") intends to spend $1,000,000 on a test well on the Muskowekwan First Nations Project and $1,000,000 on a test well on the Ochapowace lands.

Chacachas and Additional First Nations Projects

The Company also has the right to acquire an undivided 100% interest in an additional 75,000 gross acres located on the Chacachas First Nation and additional First Nations lands in Saskatchewan upon the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent. These conditions precedent include a designation process to authorize the bands to dispose of their oil and gas rights. This process is pursuant to applicable federal government regulations and includes a band referendum. It is expected that this process, including the referendum, will be completed in approximately 6 months regarding the Chacachas band and in approximately 9 months regarding the additional First Nations bands.

Subject to satisfaction of these conditions precedent and completion of the Proposed Transaction, commencing in the first quarter of 2012, the Resulting Issuer intends to spend $1,000,000 to acquire land permits on the Chacachas lands followed by a $2,000,000 3D seismic program and a $1,000,000 test well. 

Samson and Poundmaker Projects

Sundance Energy also currently has the right to explore for oil and gas, as to a 50% interest, on eight sections of the Poundmaker First Nations located in Townships 44 and 45, Range 21 W3M in North West Saskatchewan ("Poundmaker First Nations Project"). Sundance Energy has identified a large seismic structure on the Poundmaker First Nations Project which indicates potential for Colony and Second Whites Specks gas as well as Cummings oil. The Poundmaker First Nations Project is located approximately 10 miles to the South East of the Carruthers Field that has produced over 10 million barrels of oil to date from the Cummings formation. Sundance Energy's 50% partner in the Poundmaker First Nations Project is Sentinel Rock. Upon completion of the Proposed Transaction Sundance Energy will have a 100% interest in this project.

Sundance Energy also owns an 8.75% to 25% working interest in 11 sections of land in the Samson Area of Central Alberta which includes five shut-in gas wells that are waiting on completion and one shut-in producing gas well. Sundance Energy has identified multiple seismic anomalies and drilling locations that will be further evaluated after completion of the Proposed Transaction.

As of October 31, 2010, Sundance Energy's interests in the Samson Area and Poundmaker First Nations Project were evaluated for the Company in a report prepared by Chapman Petroleum Engineering Ltd., an independent reserve engineering firm (the "Chapman Report"). The Chapman Report was prepared pursuant to National Instrument 51-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities and the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook (COGEH) reserves definitions. Following is a summary of Reserves as detailed in the Chapman Report.

The above estimates of Net Present Value are estimates of future net revenue, calculated with varying discount rates and do not represent fair market value. Possible reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves. There is a 10% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the sum of proved plus probable plus possible reserves. Operating costs and capital expenditures have been based on historical experience and analogy where necessary and are expressed in current year dollars and escalated at 2.0% per year from 2011 to 2025 with no escalation thereafter (or in 2010).

For gas, these estimates utilized an average gas price which is the price on which Crown royalty calculations are based. The gas prices under various types of contracts currently available (i.e. conventional, local discount and export contracts) have been predicted to follow the same trends. The natural gas liquid blended mix price has been established for each applicable property based on the price and relative volumes of each component of the gas stream recovered at the plant and wellhead for that property based on available plant and revenue data. For properties where actual data is not available, an average blended mix price has been estimated based on a typical liquid composition assumed to be 40% propane, 30% butane and 30% pentanes plus. The following are the forecast prices used:
