(the "Company" or "Landdrill"),provides its bi-weekly Default Status Report under Policy Statement 12-203 respecting Cease Trade Orders for Continuous Disclosure Defaults ("NP 12-203").  As announced previously, the filing of its interim financial statements for the period ending June 30, 2012 (the "Financial Statements") has been delayed for an indefinite period.  The purpose of the delay is to ensure that Management and external advisors are able to continue with the strategic review process. Further, as previously announced, each of IIROC and the TSXV have indefinitely halted trading in the Company's shares.  Such trading halts remain in effect and are anticipated to remain in effect for the immediate future while the Company is engaged in the process under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada). Until the Financial Statements are filed, the Company intends to continue to satisfy the provisions of the Alternative Information Guidelines specified by NP 12-203 by issuing bi-weekly Default Status Reports in the form of news releases. The Company intends to file, if required, its next Default Status Report on or about October 1, 2012. Landdrill also announces the appointment of Jacques Monette and William MacDonald to its Board of Directors effective today. As previously announced, the Comeback Hearing for Landdrill was scheduled for today. At the hearing this morning, the Comeback Hearing was adjourned until September 27, 2012 with the consent of the Company's senior secured creditors. The purpose of the delay is to permit Clarus Securities sufficient time to engage in the strategic sales process prior to the Comeback Hearing. Other than noted above, there have not been any material changes to the information contained in the press releases or any failure by Landdrill to fulfill its stated intentions and there are no subsequent additional defaults or anticipated defaults. Further, there have been no additional material changes respecting Landdrill and its affairs. Landdrill operations continue during this process.
