Terra Nova Announces Completion of Wolfman #1

Vancouver, Canada - August 7, 2013. Terra Nova Energy Corp. (TSXV: TGC) ("Terra Nova") reports no oil shows were observed while drilling in its primary and secondary oil objectives in the Wolfman #1 exploration well on Petroleum Exploration License ("PEL") 112. Hunt Energy Rig #3 encountered its primary objective, the Namur Sandstone, at approximately 1,197 meters (3,927 feet) on August 6, 2013, and drilled ahead to its secondary targets in the Birkhead formation and Hutton sandstones. Wolfman #1 reached a total depth of 1,703 meters (5,587 feet) on August 7, 2013. In the event that wireline logging confirms a dry hole, the well will be plugged and abandoned.

By completing Wolfman #1, Terra Nova has earned an additional 5.8333% on PEL 112. Terra Nova will also earn its initial 20% on PEL 444 and an additional 5.8333% (as a result of completing Wolfman #1) by delivering the interpretation of the Wingman 3D seismic which was shot in June 2013.

Terra Nova now holds a 25.8333% working interest in PEL112. To date only 130 sq km of the 2200 sq km license has been shot with 3D seismic. As such, there remains future exploration potential for additional seismic surveying to identify potential prospects near to the prospective trend. While data gathered in connection with the Wolfman #1 well is being analyzed, Terra Nova intends to focus its efforts on drill plans for PEL 444.

In connection with completing Wolfman #1, the regulatory license obligations for this year have been fulfilled.
