Archer Petroleum Corp. (TSX VENTURE: ARK)(OTCQX: APEUF)(FRANKFURT: A6VA), (the "Company"), is pleased to announce that the Company is now trading on the OTCQX under the symbol of APEUF. The OTCQX is the U.S. Over the Counter (OTC) market's highest tier where companies are distinguished from the thousands of other companies trading on the U.S. OTC market. Over 110 companies with a total market capitalization surpassing US$750 billion, including several of the world's largest companies by market capitalization, are currently trading on the OTCQX. The OTCQX is owned and operated by Pink OTC Markets Inc.

Investor-focused companies use the quality controlled OTCQX listing platform to offer investors transparent trading, superior information, and easy access through their regulated U.S. broker-dealers. The innovative OTCQX platform offers companies and their shareholders a level of marketplace services formerly available only on the major U.S. exchanges. Investors can find current financial disclosure and Real-Time Level 2 quotes for the company on www.otcqx.com and www.otcmarkets.com under the symbol OTCQX:APEUF.

"Investor-focused companies use the quality-controlled OTCQX platform to offer their investors transparent trading, superior information and easy access through their regulated U.S. broker-dealers," said R. Cromwell Coulson, President and CEO of Pink OTC Markets. "We are pleased to welcome Archer Petroleum to OTCQX."

Management believes the Company's shares are best suited to the OTCQX trading platform in the US. Built on a robust electronic quotation and trading platform, the OTCQX trading platform has emerged as the world's leading premier cross-listing venture for international issuers that wish to benefit from U.S. trading and investor demand without diluting their current shareholder base. Archer Petroleum will continue as a registered issuer and will continue to complete the public filings and disclosures on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR). The Company's shares may still be purchased and sold through all normal trading channels.

"Archer Petroleum believes that joining the OTCQX is a cost effective method to facilitate a U.S. presence. With the Company now trading on the OTCQX, TSX.V and Frankfurt Exchange, we are confident we now have the platforms required to provide enhanced liquidity and to broaden our shareholder base," stated Colin Bowkett, President of Archer.

Dorsey & Whitney, LLP of Denver CO will serve as Archer Petroleum Corp's Principal American Liaison ("PAL") on OTCQX, responsible for providing guidance on OTCQX requirements.
