Glamis Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:GLM.A)(TSX VENTURE:GLM.B) ("Glamis" or "the
Company") is pleased to announce its financial and operational results for the
three months and year ended December 31, 2007.
Glamis' highlights for 2007 are as follows:
- Discovered a significant light oil pool in Queensdale, Saskatchewan with
Glamis' first 100% working interest horizontal well drilled in December 2007.
Glamis has subsequently drilled two further successful horizontal wells into
this structure and has drilled a subsequent exploration well targeting another
new pool
- Production averaged 214 boe/d for 2007; Glamis exited the year at 335 boe/d
(98% oil)
- Increased proved and probable reserve volumes by 20 percent to 739 mboe
- Invested $10.6 million in capital projects
-- Drilled 8 wells (5.45 net); 3 (2.6 net) were successful oil wells and 5
(2.85) were dry and abandoned
-- Re-entered 1 well (0.625 net) which proved to be uneconomic
-- Invested $1.7 million on land and seismic
- Significantly increased cash flow over the year to $730,000 ($0.03 per share)
compared to negative cash flow of $30,000 in the prior year, as a result of
increased production volumes and higher oil prices
- Maintained balance sheet strength and enhanced the Company's financial
flexibility by completing a flow through share offering of $2.6 million during
the second quarter of 2007 and securing a $3.5 million revolving line of credit
(drawn by $1.7 million at year end)

(1) For comparative purpose, Glamis did not have any oil and gas operations
prior to August 11th 2006.
(2) 2007 per share amounts have been calculated on the weighted average
number of shares outstanding after giving effect to the potential
conversion of Class B Shares into Class A Shares at 10:1 based on the
Dec. 31, 2007 closing price of Class A Shares of $0.86.
Subsequent to December 31, 2007, Glamis:
- During the first quarter of 2008 Glamis drilled two additional horizontal
wells in Queensdale. One well is now producing while the second well is planned
for completion as soon as road bans are lifted in the area. Glamis believes this
core area has the potential for up to 12 (10.5 net) horizontal development
wells. Also in Queensdale, Glamis has drilled a 100% working interest
exploratory well targeting another 3D seismically defined feature. Glamis was
encouraged by the initial results and kicked the well off to open up a 400m open
hole horizontal section. The well will be placed on production as soon as road
bans are lifted in the area. Subject to well performance, follow-up locations
are expected to be drilled within the next 12 months.
- In March 2008 Glamis completed an additional $6.0 million private placement;
3.5 million Class A shares at $1.15 per share and 1.4 million flow through Class
A shares at $1.40 per share; proceeds to be used towards Glamis' 2008 drilling
program.
Outlook
With the success at Queensdale, Glamis expects to significantly increase
production and reserves in 2008. With these anticipated volume increases,
Glamis' operating and general and administrative costs are also expected to
decline on a per unit basis, significantly improving the Company's cash flow
netbacks.
In addition to the Company's active drilling program, Glamis will continue to
seek out further opportunities that align with the Company's long-term growth
strategy of pursuing opportunities that allow for all-season access, reservoirs
that provide long-life reserves and prospects that enhance shareholder value.
