NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

Sea Dragon Energy Inc. ("Sea Dragon" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:SDX)
announces that its wholly owned subsidiary, Sea Dragon Energy (Kom Ombo) Ltd.
has signed a Farm-out Agreement with Dana Gas Egypt Ltd. ("DGE") pursuant to
which Sea Dragon will acquire a fifty (50%) percent participating interest in
the Kom Ombo (Block-2) Concession, located approximately 1,000 km south of Cairo
on the West Bank of the Nile River. Sea Dragon's acquisition of a participating
interest in the Kom Ombo (Block-2) Concession is subject to the consent and
approval of the responsible authority. The Kom Ombo (Block-2) Concession is held
by Dana Gas PJSC, which is the successor company to Centurion Energy
International Inc. who was originally awarded the Kom Ombo (Block-2) Concession.


The Kom Ombo (Block-2) Concession is a large exploration block (approximately
11,446 Sq. Km) which contains the Al-Baraka Development Lease. The Al-Baraka oil
field is located in the Al-Baraka Development Lease and according to Sea
Dragon's internal estimates, has a discovered, undeveloped oil accumulation of
approximately 100 million barrels of Original Oil in Place as Discovered
Resources in two productive zones.


Four wells were drilled in the field of which three wells are currently on
production at approximately 850 bopd. According to DGE's latest Press Release,
the fourth well drilled in the Al-Baraka field has encountered approximately 50
feet of oil pay in the previously defined reservoirs and some 25 feet of oil pay
in a new reservoir. Preliminary testing of the new zone indicates the well to be
capable of producing at a maximum rate of 1300bopd. The Al-Baraka wells are
shallow vertical wells (4500 feet) and the oil is light, 37 Degree API. Under
the terms of the Al-Baraka Development Lease, the holders of the lease have the
right to produce the field for a period of 20 years with possible extensions.


Future development plans for the Al-Baraka oil field include the drilling of
some 30 development wells over the next several years. Horizontal drilling and
specialized fracturing are the techniques being considered in order to maximize
production rates and oil recovery.


According to Sea Dragon's internal estimates, the Kom Ombo (Block-2) Concession
currently has an additional 300 million barrels of Original Oil in Place as
Undiscovered Resources in multiple oil zones. The Concession is currently in its
third and final exploration phase which will end in 2012. A 280 sq. km 3-D
seismic program is planned to be followed by a three-well exploratory drilling
program targeting multi-level prospects away from the Al-Baraka field.


The total consideration paid by Sea Dragon to DGE is US$45million subject to
working capital adjustments. This consideration is to be paid in full by April
30, 2010. Approximately US$20million shall be cost recoverable by Sea Dragon out
of future production revenue. As owner of a 50% participating interest in the
Kom Ombo (Block-2) Concession, Sea Dragon will be required to pay its 50% share
of future expenditures and is entitled to receive a 50% share of all future
production revenues and 50% of all cost recoveries as specified in the
Concession Agreement. Under the terms of the Farmout Agreement, Sea Dragon and
DGE will jointly operate the Kom Ombo (Block-2) Concession.


Commenting on the acquisition of the Kom Ombo (Block-2) Concession, Mr. Said
Arrata, Sea Dragon's Chairman and CEO said, "This is a very significant event in
the growth cycle of our Company. It marks our second success in aggressively
acquiring discovered undeveloped resources with significant exploration upside.
We are very excited about the development potential of the Al-Baraka Field. The
Kom Ombo (Block-2) Concession is a very attractive and highly prospective
concession block for which we have high expectations. We are looking forward to
jointly operating this property with DGE and are optimistic that we can achieve
significant production levels over the short term through the application of new
technologies."

on North Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa and offices in Calgary, Canada and Cairo,
