Fox Petroleum Books Drilling Rig for Offshore UK North Sea Bourbon Prospect

Business Wire, April 28, 2008

LONDON -- Fox Petroleum Inc. (OTCBB:FXPT) (hereafter "Fox") is pleased to announce that it has signed a Letter of Commitment (LOC) with Senergy, an international integrated oil services company, to utilize the Byford Dolphin semi-submersible drilling rig to drill a well on the company's Bourbon prospect. Fox has secured the drilling rig for a 22-day slot in the fourth quarter of 2008. Fox Petroleum has a 46% interest in the UK North Sea Block 211/17, which contains the Bourbon Prospect.

Richard Moore, Fox's Chief Executive Officer, said, "We believe the 211/17-3 well drilled in the 1980s to be an unrealized discovery well. Fox plans to move up-dip from the #3 well, which we believe encountered an oil-water transition zone. This well, if successful, should prove up the recoverable resources estimate recently prepared by Aimwell Energy Ltd. in excess of 160 million barrels of oil recoverable - mean case."

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved reserves that a company has demonstrated by actual production or conclusive formation tests to be economically and legally producible under existing economic and operating conditions. We use certain terms in this news release, such as "mid case recoverable reserve potential" and "reserves of natural gas" that the SEC's guidelines strictly prohibit us from including in filings with the SEC. U.S. investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our annual report on Form 10-KSB and quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB available from us or the SEC."
