Storm Resources Ltd. Announces Closing of Asset Disposition

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Feb. 15, 2013) - STORM RESOURCES LTD. ("Storm") (TSX VENTURE:SRX) advises that the disposition of 275 Boe per day of production in the Grande Prairie area of northwest Alberta, as announced on January 23, 2013, has closed.

Proceeds from the disposition of $18 million, prior to normal adjustments, will be applied in reduction of bank debt. Pro forma net debt at December 31, 2012 is estimated to be $24 million after giving effect to this disposition and a smaller asset sale amounting to $2 million announced in January 2013. In addition, in the fourth quarter of 2012, $2 million was received from the sale of the remainder of Storm's shares in Bridge Energy ASA. Net debt includes the Company's working capital deficiency, but does not include the value of Storm's public company investment. Including the value of the public company investment, pro forma net debt at December 31, 2012 is estimated to be approximately $20 million. The disposition will result in Storm's bank credit facility being reduced from $62 million to $52 million.

This disposition is consistent with Storm's commitment to maintaining debt levels at a reasonable multiple of cash flow and to the better alignment of financial resources with growth opportunities. It provides Storm with financial flexibility to pursue additional projects, or to accelerate capital investment on development activities at existing properties if results are supportive of doing so.

Storm Resources Ltd. began operations in August 2010. Storm is headquartered in Calgary, Alberta and is active in the Horn River Basin and Umbach areas of northeast British Columbia, and at Grande Prairie in northwest Alberta.

FirstEnergy Capital Corp. of Calgary, Alberta, acted as sole agent to Storm for this asset sale.

READER ADVISORIES

Boe Presentation - For the purpose of calculating unit revenues and costs, natural gas is converted to a barrel of oil equivalent ("Boe") using six thousand cubic feet ("Mcf") of natural gas equal to one barrel of oil unless otherwise stated. Boe may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A Boe conversion ratio of six Mcf to one barrel ("Bbl") is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. All Boe measurements and conversions in this report are derived by converting natural gas to oil in the ratio of six thousand cubic feet of gas to one barrel of oil. Mboe means 1,000 Boe.
