Bayshore Petroleum Corp. (TSX VENTURE:BSH) ("Bayshore" or the "Corporation") is
pleased to announce it has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with a
private oil/gas company operating in Saskatchewan pursuant to which Bayshore
will construct a small-scale heavy oil upgrading facility utilizing a
proprietary cold catalytic cracking ("CCC") process. The pilot project, to be
located in the Meota area of Saskatchewan, is expected to initially process and
upgrade 350 barrels of heavy oil (10 degrees API) per day from the Meota field
into diesel-quality oil, synthetic gas and coke. The upgrader will be
constructed to permit input capacity expansion to 1,000 barrels of heavy oil per
day in conjunction with the field development plan. Under the proposed
arrangement, Bayshore will purchase the heavy oil directly from the private
oil/gas company and/or other sources in the area. The upgrader is expected to
demonstrate the commercial viability of the CCC process following successful
laboratory tests conducted by Bayshore using heavy crude obtained from the area.
In the laboratory tests the CCC process yielded vehicle-quality diesel in a
normal pressure and low temperature environment using a proprietary catalyst.
Further laboratory tests are required to determine the pilot plant's operating
parameters and flow processes. 


In addition, under the same Memorandum of Understanding, Bayshore will have an
option until July 31, 2013, to purchase up to 50% of the exploratory/development
heavy oil acreage in Meota area owned by the private company at a price
agreeable to both parties. Total acreage in the area owned by the private
company is 9,600 acres. 


The Memorandum of Understanding contemplates the execution of formal agreements
following further negotiation and finalization of terms and conditions. 


Bayshore is a Calgary, Alberta based corporation engaged in the exploration,
development and production of petroleum and natural gas. The Common Shares are
listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the trading symbol "BSH".
