VANCOUVER, March 10, 2017 /CNW/ - TAG Oil Ltd. (the "Company"
or "TAG Oil") (TSX: TAO and OTCQX: TAOIF) announces that, as a result of a review by the British Columbia Securities Commission
and the Alberta Securities Commission in connection with the Company's previously announced short form prospectus offering, the
Company is issuing this news release to clarify and retract certain technical disclosure.
The news releases of the Company issued on December 6, 2016 and February
15, 2017, as well as the short form prospectus marketing materials dated February 21, 2017
(the "Documents"), referred to a resource estimate at its Cardiff prospect. This information was
derived from a report prepared by Sproule International Limited entitled "Resource Assessment of the Cardiff Prospect, PEP 38156
and 54877, Taranaki Basin, New Zealand" with an effective date of July
31, 2013 (the "Report").
Following the date of the Report, in July of 2014, the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook was updated to include
resource other than reserve guidelines (the "COGE Handbook"). Accordingly, the information disclosed from the Report in
the Documents was not prepared in accordance with the COGE Handbook, as updated, and does not meet the requirements of National
Instrument 51-101 Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities and, as such, should not be relied upon.
The Company expects the closing of its previously announced short form prospectus offering to occur on or about Monday, March 20, 2017.
