CARDIFF ENERGY CORP. (the "Company") (TSX-V: "CRS") is pleased to report that Nitro Petroleum Inc., the operator of the Branch #1 well located in Garvin County, Oklahoma, has informed Cardiff that completion operations in the Viola Formation in the Branch # 1 has been successful. A 110 foot interval was perforated and fracture stimulated. The well has commenced production of natural gas at an initial rate of 302 MCFD and 147 BOPD.

Cardiff will release additional production data once fluid rates have stabilized. The Company anticipates that the hydrocarbon production rate may increase as the well cleans up. Less than half of the frac fluid has been recovered to-date. With the success of the Branch #1 well management has already commenced strategic planning and review of opportunities in Oklahoma and/or Western Canada to grow the Company over the coming months.

Project Overviews:

Garvin County Branch Project

Cardiff has a 20% working interest in this project. The area is noted for multi-zone production with Ordovician to Pennsylvanian aged beds providing most of the production. Formations known to have productive potential in this area include the Tonkawa Sand, the Deese Sand, the Viola Limestone, the Bromide Sands and the Oil Creek Sand. The Oil Creek was found to be water-laden at this location but logs indicate potential hydrocarbons in the Deese and 1st Bromide Sands. Once the Viola reservoir has been adequately depleted, perforations will be added to the 1st Bromide Sand and the Deese Sand, and if successful, production will be commingled.
