CALGARY, ALBERTA AND LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM--(CCNMatthews - Sept.
15, 2004) - (TSX: AEN)(AIM: AEY)

Antrim Energy Inc. ("Antrim") is pleased to provide the following
update of its activity in the United Kingdom.

Antrim has been offered Block 42/23, located in the United
Kingdom's North Sea southern gas basin, as a Promote Licence
Award under the UK's competitive 22nd Offshore Licensing Round.
Under the terms of the award, Antrim will have two years in which
to commit to the drilling of one well or relinquish the Block.
Antrim, the designated "Permit Administrator", will have a 60%
interest in the new Block.

Block 42/23 is adjacent to Antrim's other properties in the
southern gas basin, Blocks 42/21 and 42/22. The Company is
planning to drill an exploration well on Block 42/21 early in
2005. Under an agreement with UK-based Wham Energy, Antrim also
has an option to increase its equity in Blocks 42/21 and 42/22
from 20% to 60% before October 1, 2004.

Antrim's current land holdings in the southern gas basin are
located in a mature area containing some of the UK's largest gas
fields. Block 42/23 is situated 13 km northwest of the Ravenspurn
complex which has produced 1.6 Tcf natural gas since production
began in 1989.
