OPERATIONAL UPDATE

In spite of heavy rainfall in April and May that caused operational, production
and testing delays, Border's first two Slave Point horizontal wells at Red Earth
were brought on production in the first quarter ended June 30, 2012. That
production contributed to a total increase of 741% in the average daily rate for
the quarter to 244 boe compared to the same period last year.


As reported on July 16, 2012, the peak thirty days of production from the first
two short horizontal wells averaged 102 bopd ("30 day IP"). Furthermore, based
on field reports, the sixty days of initial production from the wells averaged
78 bopd ("60 day IP").


Based on the results of the first two horizontal wells which achieved an average
30 day IP of 10 bopd per frac, Border has commenced licensing four new long
horizontal wells (over 1,000 metre legs) on its 18,720 acre permit on the Loon
River Cree Nation (the "Loon Permit"). Border plans to drill its first initial
long leg well incorporating approximately 20 frac stages this fall. The Loon
Permit provides Border the opportunity to drill up to approximately 120
potential long leg horizontal wells (based on quarter section spacing) targeting
38.9 MMbbls of Best Estimate Contingent Resource, as evaluated by Sproule
Associates Ltd. and disclosed in greater detail in Border's July 16, 2012 press
release.


Forward-Looking Statements

The forward-looking statements contained in this document are based on certain
key expectations and assumptions made by Border. Although Border believes that
the expectations and assumptions on which the forward-looking statements are
based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking
statements because Border can give no assurance that they will prove to be
correct.


Since forward-looking statements address future events and conditions, by their
very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results could
differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors
and risks. These include, but are not limited to, the failure to obtain
necessary regulatory approvals, risks associated with the oil and gas industry
in general (e.g., operational risks in development, exploration and production;
delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects
or capital expenditures; the uncertainty of reserve estimates; the uncertainty
of estimates and projections relating to production, costs and expenses, and
health, safety and environmental risks), commodity price and exchange rate
fluctuations and uncertainties resulting from potential delays or changes in
plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital
expenditures. A description of assumptions used to develop such forward-looking
information and a description of risk factors that may cause actual results to
differ materially from forward-looking information can be found in Border's
disclosure documents on the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com.


The forward-looking statements contained in this document are made as of the
date hereof and Border undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any
forward-looking statements or information, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise, unless so required by applicable
securities laws.


BOE

BOEs may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion
ratio of 6 Mcf:1 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.
