NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Suroco Energy Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SRN) (the "Corporation") is pleased to announce
that it has filed its Second Quarter Financial Statements and the related
Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") for the period ended June 30, 2013
on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval ("SEDAR").


Copies of these documents can be found on the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com.

Alastair Hill, the Corporation's President and CEO, commented, "We continued to
grow our daily production through the second quarter with an average of 1,670
barrels per day net to the Corporation after royalty as four Cohembi wells were
brought on production. The last well in this current program is the Cohembi-15
well, which commenced production in early July. Subsequent to the quarter end
the drilling rig was moved to the Pinuna-7 location to drill an outpost well and
drilling operations are expected to be completed there at the end of August. Due
to pipeline maintenance in the Middle Magdalena valley during the second quarter
we have used a temporary alternative sales point which, due to the nature of the
sales contract, has had the effect of reducing our average sales prices whilst
also lowering our average operating cost on a per barrel basis."

Notes:
(1) Non-GAAP financial measure; see discussion in Reconciliation of Non-
    GAAP Items section Q2 2013 MD&A. 
(2) In periods where there were losses attributable to shareholders, all
    potentially dilutive securities were considered anti-dilutive and were
    therefore excluded from the fully diluted number of weighted average
    common shares outstanding calculation. All potentially dilutive
    securities were considered for the calculation of diluted number of
    shares outstanding at the end of period. 
(3) Refer to Note 2 in the June 30, 2013 Interim Consolidated Condensed
    Financial Statements and to "Accounting Policies and Estimates" in the
    MD&A for an explanation of the restatement. 
(4) Refer to explanation under "Selling Prices in the Financial Review
    portion of the MD&A for an explanation of average realized selling
    prices and production and transportation expense.

Highlights for the period

--  Achieved record quarterly production of 1,670 barrels of oil per day
    net to the Corporation after royalties compared to 873 barrels of oil
    per day for the same quarter of 2012 and 1,207 barrels of oil per day
    for the first quarter of 2013.

--  Achieved realized selling prices for the quarter of $85.20 which was
    lower than in previous quarters since a significant portion of the
    sales for the quarter were at prices which were net of trucking,
    pipeline and handling costs.

--  Achieved field operating netbacks of $51.64 per barrel for the quarter.

--  Placed Cohembi-6 and Cohembi-9 on production on April 23, 2013, both of
    which were drilled in the first quarter of 2013 and averaged 1,373
    barrels of oil per day (200 barrels of oil per day net to the
    Corporation after royalties) and 1,116 barrels of oil per day (163
    barrels of oil per day net to the Corporation after royalties),
    respectively for the remainder of the quarter.

--  Drilled the Cohembi-10 and Cohembi-14 wells during the quarter and
    placed both production on May 16, 2013 and June 6, 2013, respectively,
    after which they had average production of 717 barrels of oil per day
    (104 barrels of oil per day net to the Corporation after royalties) and
    1,142 barrels of oil per day (166 barrels of oil per day net to the
    Corporation after royalties), respectively for the remainder of the
    quarter.

--  Cash flow from operations of $3.9 million ($0.03 per share on a basic
    and fully diluted basis).
