(NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA) 

Suroco Energy Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SRN) ("Suroco" or the "Corporation") is pleased
to announce that it has entered into an amendment (the "First Amendment") to the
senior secured credit facility (the "Credit Agreement") that it entered into on
March 15, 2013 with Macquarie Bank Limited ("Macquarie") (see the Corporation's
March 15, 2013 press release for additional information), wherein an additional
US$10 million in committed funds has been made available to the Corporation.


As mentioned above, the Corporation entered into the Credit Agreement to obtain
a US$21 million senior secured credit facility, with the potential to increase
such credit facility to US$100 million upon compliance by the Corporation with
certain conditions and at the discretion of Macquarie. 


The First Amendment provides an additional US$10 million tranche to the
Corporation that is available for drawdown for a period of twelve (12) months.
This tranche will bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus eight percent (8%).
Terms of repayment for any advance under this tranche will be as follows:




a.  on the date that is fifteen (15) months after the first advance under
    this tranche, in the event there is more than US$5,000,000 in total
    outstanding under this tranche, the Corporation will pay the amount that
    will reduce the aggregate amount outstanding under this tranche to
    US$5,000,000; and 
    
b.  the remaining amounts outstanding under this tranche will be repaid in
    four equal quarterly installments beginning March 31, 2016. 



This tranche of the credit facility will be used to further develop the
Corporation's interests in the Suroriente Block and its other assets in the
Putumayo Basin in Colombia, as well as for general working capital purposes.


Also, in consideration for entering into the First Amendment, the Corporation
will issue non-transferable common share purchase warrants to Macquarie (the
"Warrants") entitling Macquarie to purchase up to 1,000,000 common shares of the
Corporation at a price of $0.385 per share until January 30, 2018, subject to
reduction or cancellation in accordance with Policy 5.1 - Loans, Bonuses,
Finder's Fees and Commissions of the TSX Venture Exchange. The issuance of the
Warrants is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.


The Corporation is a Calgary-based junior oil and gas company, which explores
for, develops, produces and sells crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas
in Colombia. The Corporation's common shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange
under the symbol SRN.
