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 Third Quarter Financial Statements and the related
Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") for the period ended September 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, "During this
quarter the Corporation completed a farmin to acquire a 25% interest in the PUT
2 Block in Putumayo where, within a three month timespan from entry, we
commenced drilling the first exploration well which is currently operating. Also
during the quarter we completed the documentation to formalize our participation
in the OCP Pipeline Consortium, which provides us with access to an alternate
evacuation route for some of our production via pipeline to Ecuador during
periods when the OTA (the Trans-Andean pipeline) is unavailable. The
transportation cost for using this route is significantly lower than the
trucking and tariff cost for our oil that is evacuated via the Colombian
pipelines that run to the Caribbean coast.
Overall production volumes were impacted during the third quarter due to the
widespread strikes in Colombia which occurred during August and September,
without which we would have recorded our best ever quarterly production. As it
was we lost 26 days of production, however we did average 1,921 barrels per day
net after royalty for the days that we were actually on production during the
quarter."

Notes:
1. Non-GAAP financial measure; see discussion in "Reconciliation of Non-
GAAP Items" section of the 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 September 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.
