HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwired - Jul 24, 2013) - Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation (NYSE: MHR) (NYSE MKT: MHR.PRC) (NYSE MKT: MHR.PRD) (NYSE MKT: MHR.PRE) (the "Company" or "Magnum Hunter") announced today that the previous cease trade order with respect to the Company's securities that was issued by the Ontario Securities Commission in May 2013 has been revoked.

As previously announced by Magnum Hunter, the Alberta, Manitoba, Quebec and British Columbia securities commissions have also revoked their respective cease trade orders with respect to the Company's securities.

All these cease trade orders had been issued in April and May 2013 due to the delay in the filing by the Company of its 2012 annual disclosure documents. The Company's 2012 annual disclosure documents and its interim disclosure documents for the three months ended March 31, 2013 were filed by the Company under its profile on Canada's System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval, or SEDAR, on June 18, 2013 and July 9, 2013, respectively.

Now, all cease trade orders issued by Canadian securities commissions with respect to the Company's securities due to the previous filing delays described above have been completely lifted.
