3MV Energy Corp. ("3MV" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:TMV) is pleased to provide an Operational Update on its Viking Oil Pool Discovery near Fiske, Saskatchewan, Announces Director Appointments, Officer Appointments and reports Stock Option Grants

Strategy and Technology Overview

3MV has assets throughout west central Saskatchewan's Viking oil play, including its most recent discovery and oil pool development near Fiske, which is located 60 kilometers east of Kindersley, SK. 3MV also focuses on the development and application of new earth science and oilfield technologies in all aspect of the Company's operations., 3MV is using both 2D and 3D proprietary seismic programs to map the geology of the Fiske play. The Companies horizontal wells also utilize multi-stage, high pressure fracture stimulation technology. 3MV's unique fracturing method minimizes the use of fracturing fluids during the fracturing process which reduces both cost and environmental impact.

Results

3MV drilled a horizontal Viking discovery well near Fiske, SK in September, 2011. Following the completion, 3MV ran a five day production flow test that shows hourly production rates between 6.4 to 22.1 bbl per hour, and up to 377 bbl of fluid per day when extrapolated to a 24 hour basis. Once put on production, this well produced in excess of 150 bbl/d of oil for the first 7 full production days, with sustained oil production for the first month of over 100 bbl/d. This horizontal discovery well continues to produce with above average oil production rates compared to other Viking multi-stage, high pressure fracture stimulated wells in the greater Kindersley area. 3MV has followed up on the success of this discovery well by drilling an additional five (5.0 net) wells which have all achieved positive results.

At Fiske, 3MV controls more than 24,000 net acres of land. The Company has licensed 20 wells as a follow up to its initial drilling success; constructed 7.9 kilometers of pipeline and is in the process of building a GritHog tank treating system to treat its API 35degree oil. This pipeline and tank battery construction will mitigate downtime due to spring break up.

Recently 3MV completed a 3^rd party independent geological study of the prospective reservoir component occurring at its Fiske discovery area. Based on area geological review of sample cuttings and cores, modern techniques in facies modeling and mapping reveal a 200-2500m wide prospective-fairway of marine hyperpycnal sandstones which extend across the region. Formation permeability reaches at least 350 mD within the fairway, which is over an order of magnitude higher than the regional 17 mD average in the conventional Viking play.

3MV is currently conducting a proprietary 3D seismic program of approximately 20 square kilometers to add to its 6.4 square kilometers of existing proprietary 3D seismic and 28.2 kilometers of existing proprietary 2D seismic.

The Company realized netbacks for our first horizontal well at Fiske of $65.19/BOE. The Company estimates a payout of its average Fiske wells in 8.1 months per well which contribute to a Fiske recycle ratio of 3.83 on a 2P basis. Prior to the Company's exploration at Fiske, 3MV's average 800 meter horizontal leg well cost in the Dodsland area was $548,000 per well to drill, case, complete and equip a horizontal multi staged fractured well. Due to the scientific nature of the discovery well, surface access in the Fiske area and additional costs for winter drilling conditions, 3MV's well cost for a horizontal multi stage fractured well in the Fiske area is $850,000. The Company expects these costs to decrease as the field is developed, and drilling begins in warmer temperatures.

BOE Calculation

For the purpose of calculating unit costs, natural gas volumes have been converted to a barrel of oil equivalent ("BOE") using six thousand cubic feet equal to one barrel unless otherwise stated. A BOE conversion ratio of 6:1 is based upon an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. This conversion conforms with Canadian Securities Regulators National Instrument 51-101 Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities ("NI 51-101"). BOEs may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation.
