STO

Shelton Canada Corp. ("Shelton" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:STO) is
progressing well on their projects in Ukraine. The geological report on West
Biruchya has been completed and the front end engineering work on North
Kerchenskaya should be completed in the 2nd quarter of this year. The
preparation work for the 300 km seismic run on the Black Sea, Arkchangelske
project is well underway.


The Company has announced consolidated revenue from operations of $582,617 for
three months ending March 31, 2009 compared to $2.035 million from operations
for the three months ending March 31, 2008. In addition, the Company had a net
(loss) for the first quarter of ($799,905) versus net income of 14,336 for the
first quarter ending March 31, 2008. The decrease in net income reflects lower
oil prices in Ukraine and an inventory write-down recognized in the first
quarter 2009. Market participants in Ukrainian oil auctions, due to struggling
Ukrainian economy, have decreased substantially and created a situation where
pricing is at a deep discount to world market.


The Company inventory write-down of $226,151 was done in accordance with the
Company's accounting policies of recognizing the lower of net realizable value
or cost of inventory. The net realizable value of the oil in inventory was lower
than the cost recognized, due to lower oil prices in Ukraine resulting from
slowing economy and therefore lower demand for oil.


In addition, during the three months ending March 31, 2009, the Company incurred
royalty costs in excess of the price received from the sale of oil. This result
occurred because the oil price applied in the royalty coefficient, which is used
to calculate the royalty, was derived from the Urals monthly average price of
crude while the Company actually received a price substantially lower for the
oil sold.


The Company has initiated discussions with Ukrnafta, our partner in Kashtan
Petroleum, as well as with the Ukrainian government to resolve this temporary
anomaly and develop mechanisms to adjust the royalty payments with the price of
oil in Ukraine.


Shelton has also arranged for an alternative storage facility in order to reduce
storage costs for the produced oil and is working on strategies to capture world
prices on future sales.


Production decreased to an average of 315 boe/d for the three months ending
March 31, 2009, as compared to 349 boe/d for the three months ending March 31,
2008.
