CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - July 25, 2013) - MGM Energy Corp. ("MGM Energy" or the "Company") (TSX:MGX) announced today its financial results for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2013.

The Company reported a net loss for the three month period ended June 30, 2013 of $1.8 million ($0.00 per share) as compared to a net loss of $2.1 million ($0.01 per share) for the three month period ended June 30, 2012. MGM Energy had working capital of $13.1 million as at June 30, 2013, which is expected to be sufficient to fund operations based on current level of expenditures until mid-2015. As previously announced, MGM Energy surrendered to the Crown five exploration licences in the Mackenzie Delta, which resulted in MGM Energy being relieved of its obligation to fulfill its commitments relating to these exploration licences totaling $7.7 million, of which $6.3 million was to have been paid in June 2013. None of the exploration licences surrendered were in the Central Mackenzie Valley Canol shale oil play. MGM Energy's full unaudited financial statements and accompanying Management's Discussion and Analysis will be filed shortly on the SEDAR website (www.sedar.com).

MGM Energy continues to analyze the results of the East Mackay I-78 well drilled in the Canol shale oil play in the winter of 2012/13. The results of the well are expected to be fully assessed by the fall of 2013, after which the Company intends to begin a formal search for a partner on its Canol shale oil play lands.
