PR Newswire

DENVER, May 3, 2012

DENVER, May 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Grid Petroleum Corp. (OTCBB: GRPR) : The Board of Directors are pleased to announce that Grid Petroleum has entered into a letter of Intent to acquire a Ten percent working interest, Seven point five percent net revenue interest, from a third party interest holder of the Garcia #3 well. (10.0 % WI, 7.5% NRI)

This Letter of Intent is subject to the establishment of an acceptable, ironclad drilling start date for the Garcia #3 Well, which start date is to be determined and agreed to prior to definitive documentation completion.

It is anticipated that the drilling start date will be announced and the closing of this transaction will take place prior to May 10, 2012.

"The Company has been negotiating over the last few weeks with the third party interest holders to obtain this interest to allow the forward progress of the development of the Garcia #3 Well drilling program," stated Grid Petroleum Corp, President James Powell. "The Company is now in a position to have a significant impact on the jump starting of this well and looks forward to a successful start of drilling activity in the very near future.

"The company will announce the start date which is a contingency to the closing of this investment."

The Company previously announced the following based upon information provided by the operator of the Garcia #3, which was dependant upon all interest holders meeting its respective cash calls.

PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED:

"The Anticipated Start Date for the Drilling to Commence on the Garcia #3 shall be from April 21, 2012 to April 30, 2012.

The delay has been due to the inability of a third party joint venture investor in the Garcia #3 well to meet its cash call to retain its participation interest.

Grid Petroleum Corp is currently in negotiations to acquire an interest in the Garcia #3 well due to its recent availability.

The company has determined that this participation will enable the further development of the Mutual Area of Interest in a timely basis."
