TG WORLD TENERE PROJECT UPDATE

TG World Energy Corp. is reviewing its Tenere exploration program, which is being carried out by the project operator, CNPC International Tenere, a unit of China National Petroleum Corp. Unless otherwise indicated, operational information set out in this news release concerning the Tenere concession has been provided to TG World by CNPCIT.

The Saha-1 exploration well is drilling ahead with a newly constructed, deep-drilling rig supplied by Great Wall Drilling Corp. of China. Rig GW-131 carries a 1,600-horsepower draw works and a new, U.S.-supplied top drive unit as well as a full range of new, contemporary ancillary equipment. Saha-1 commenced drilling on Oct. 30, 2006. At the time of this release, the operator has set 13.375-inch casing at approximately 1,172 metres and is drilling ahead below that depth.

Based on information from the operator, the company anticipates that the Saha-1 well will reach total depth (approximately 3,500 metres) in early January, 2007, at which time a full suite of logs will be run and a decision will be made whether to test the well. Logging and testing equipment is already mobilized to site.

The well site location for the second well, Fachi West-1, is currently under construction and the drilling pad and sump are expected to be completed in mid-December.

Once the GW-131 rig is released from the Saha-1 drilling location, it is expected that it will take approximately one month to move the rig and commence drilling the second exploration well, Fachi West-1.

The seismic data acquired in the recent 2006 acquisition campaign have now been processed and are being interpreted by CNPCIT. CNPCIT acquired nearly 1,200 kilometres of new data including infill seismic and new regional lines in the north of the block. TG World has received copies of these new data which it plans to independently analyze prior to technical and operating committee meetings scheduled to be held in Beijing in mid-December.

A representative of TG World recently visited the operator's Niger operations and provided a positive report to management of TG World respecting the drilling campaign and comprehensive in-country infrastructure established by CNPCIT. The operator has acquired a large, enclosed area on the outskirts of Agadez, within which a camp has been constructed that includes living quarters and office facilities for about 40 full-time employees. Drilling equipment and consumables for all three wells have been mobilized to this site. A separate storage area has also been acquired, adjacent to the exit road from Agadez, to store pipe and casing for the drilling program.

A fleet of 20 desert-equipped specialized trucks has been assembled by the operator to provide transportation of personnel and equipment, and a unit of CNPC specialized in desert transportation, China Petroleum Technical and Development Corp., has established a halfway camp at the edge of the Tenere desert to address issues of maintenance, safety and security.

Commenting on the efforts of the operator in relation to the Tenere project, Cliff James, the president and chief executive officer of TG World, noted: "In addition to mobilizing brand-new equipment for the entire campaign, CNPCIT is running a well-managed, well-organized operation with high priority on safety and the environment. We are very impressed with the operation."
