Vecta Energy Corporation ("Vecta") (TSX VENTURE:VER) announced today that cash
flow from operations in 2009 was a negative amount of $288,241 a significant
decline from the positive amount of $428,329 recorded in 2008. A decline of 49%
in the average price of natural gas received by the Company was primarily
responsible for the change, along with one-time consulting and administrative
costs incurred for the completion of the merger of Kroes and Vecta. Proved and
probable reserves declined from 178.9 Mboe in 2008 to 106.9 Mboe in 2009 due
primarily to production during the year and the reversal of proved undeveloped
reserves previously attributed to the Brewster 8-22 well. Production averaged 99
boe per day compared with 107 boe per day produced in 2008. No production was
added from drilling in 2009.


Capital expenditures for the year totaled $81,641 compared with $2,176,916 spent
in 2008 as the low natural gas price impacted cash flow and the Company's
ability to participate in drilling.


Oil and Gas Reserves

The Company's share of oil and gas reserves was evaluated by Paddock Lindstrom
and Associates Ltd. at December 31, 2009 and the details of this evaluation are
provided in the Company's NI 51-101 Statement of Oil and Gas Reserves.


Oil and Gas Drilling and Completion Activity

In the Brewster area the Company participated in a farm-out of suspended well
8-22 whereby the farmee paid for the completion and testing of the well and, if
productive, connect it to sales lines, in order to earn a portion of the
Company's working interest. Unfortunately, the well did not produce hydrocarbons
on test and was abandoned. The same farmee had the option to drill and complete
two more wells on acreage where the Company has interests and the 1-26 well was
drilled in November of 2009 and now stands awaiting testing and connection. The
Company's interest in this section was 7.5% but by virtue of the farmout, it's
interest drops to 3%. The farmee has not decided whether or not to drill the
second option well.


The Company sold its 50% interest in a section of land at Gilby for $128,000 and
it retains a 2.5% overriding royalty on any future production. In addition, it
received $48,000 for its interest in 5 sections of land in its shallow gas play
where one well produced minor amounts of natural gas.


Vecta has filed its 2009 Financial Statements, MD&A, CEO and CFO Certificates
and NI 51-101 (F1, F2, F3) with the securities regulatory authorities in Canada.
These filings are available for review at www.sedar.com.


BOE's may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion
ratio of 6MCF:1Bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily
applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the
wellhead.
