PetroFrontier Corp : PetroFrontier Corp. Provides Drilling Update

PETROFRONTIER CORP. PROVIDES DRILLING UPDATE Calgary, Alberta - January 24, 2012 (TSX-V: PFC) - PetroFrontier Corp. ("PetroFrontier") is pleased to announce that it has secured Rig #918 with Ensign Australia Pty. Limited, a subsidiary of Ensign International Energy Services ("Ensign") for the drilling of two horizontal wells in the Southern Georgina Basin, Northern Territory, Australia. Rig #918 is a small double oil field rig which has significantly greater hook

load and pump capacity compared to the previous rig, which should notably improve tripping times and reduce overall costs.
Rig #918 will commence drilling the horizontal section of PetroFrontier's MacIntyre-2H well (in EP 127) following release from its current operations and its mobilization to the well site, expected to be in mid to late March 2012. PetroFrontier plans to then drill a high angle pilot hole and horizontal leg of PetroFrontier's Owen-3 well (in EP 104) immediately thereafter. However, these target dates are dependent upon completion of Rig #918's current drilling operations and the end of the wet season in the areas of MacIntyre-2 and Owen-3.
PetroFrontier is currently negotiating to secure a service rig to support its upcoming completion and stimulation operations at MacIntyre-2H, Baldwin-2Hst1 (in EP 103) and Owen-3H. Completion operations are expected to commence in April 2012. MacIntyre-
2H, Baldwin-2Hst1 and Owen-3H will be frac'd, flowed and completed in that order.
