ARCTIC HUNTER COMPLETES THE ASSET PURCHASE TO ACQUIRE INTERESTS IN TEMBLOR’S WITTER FIELD OIL AND GAS DISCOVERY SITUATED IN THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY, CALIFORNIA AND COMPLETES A NI-51-101 OIL & GAS RESERVE REPORT ____________________________________________________________________________________ VANCOUVER, B.C. - Arctic Hunter Energy Inc. (TSX-V: AHU) (“Arctic Hunter” or the “Company”) announces that it has completed the asset purchase pursuant to which the Company will acquire 4,250 barrels of oil and 18,750 mcf of gas from interests in oil and gas situated in the San Joaquin Valley, in central California (“Temblor Petroleum’s Witter Field Assets”) for the purchase price of 2,249,100 shares of Arctic Hunter at a deemed price of $0.10 cents per share. The Company has successfully completed a NI -51-101 Oil & Gas Reserve Report prepared by Petrotech Engineering Ltd, and completed final due diligence on the oil & gas production asset acquisition.

Tim Coupland, President & CEO stated, “We are extremely pleased with this initial oil & Gas production acquisition and the successful completion of our NI 51-101 Engineering report with Petrotech Engineering Ltd.. I can say, as a Canadian junior oil & gas exploration drilling and producing Company, and combined with highly seasoned oil & gas professionals, we can now look forward to successfully implementing our strategy of delivering the significant rewards that oil & gas production and aggressive drilling and production exploration in central California, has to offer. We are extremely pleased with our latest acquisition of a 5% Royalty based agreement (the “TORRI”) in the assets of Temblor Petroleum Company LLC, California, which holds the operating rights to the Witter Field/5 Points Discovery Field, which gives the Company the right to receive its share of production revenue from a term overriding Royalty Agreement. More importantly, as a result of this oil & gas production acquisition, the Company is now strategically positioned to capture all of the fully licensed exploration drilling opportunities that will be integrated and combined with fully completed infrastructure and oil & gas production operation facilities now in place, situated within the San Joaquim Valley district.”

THE “TORRI” – Oil & Gas Term Overriding Royalty Interest

The TORRI is a non-operating overriding royalty interest that does not bear production expenses and is created out of and burdening leasehold working interest in the Witter Field Leases. The TORRI has a limited term which commences at the effective time and automatically terminates and ends on that date when the purchaser has received the purchaser’s proportionate share of oil and gas produced from the Leases attributable to a portion of Temblor’s working interest therein. The transaction has no up-front capital requirements, and the production cash flow is expected to be immediately accretive to earnings upon the effective date.

The Arctic Hunter proposed light Oil & Gas transaction represents the Company’s initial diversification into the United States and the California oil and gas resource sector by acquiring and securing monthly light oil production revenue and allowing the Company to access advanced oil exploration and drilling and revenue opportunities. This strategic acquisition of additional revenue producing resource assets will also allow the Company to access a wide portfolio of oil exploration opportunities situated in this oil region. The Temblor/Witter Field Oil project will also help to compliment the Company’s existing heavy oil production in Alberta and Saskatchewan and provides the Company with reputable American working interest partners seasoned in light oil & gas production, which will allow the Company access to future expansion opportunities in the oil and natural gas resource sector in this region of California.

ABOUT THE TEMBLOR/ WITTER FIELD OIL & GAS DISCOVERY & PROJECT SITUATED IN THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY OF CENTRAL CALIFORNIA

The Temblor/Witter Field project is situated in the San Joaquin Valley, in Central California and was drilled and discovered by Temblor Petroleum and its partners in 2015. Since its discovery Temblor and its partners have invested significant capital in developing a fully completed production facility and gas pipeline with liquid processing facilities. The Witter Field project is now fully commissioned and has begun full commercial oil & gas production. In addition to the development of the new wells and the newly completed processing facilities, Temblor has already received a conditional use permit from Fresno County for the drilling and development of 2 other wells and expanded facilities to accommodate the full development and maximization of the field. Development and expansion of the discovery field is expected to continue for many years. The well was drilled and completed in 2015. The current operator, Temblor Petroleum LLC is expected to drill an additional 2 vertical wells this year and integrate production to the newly installed facilities operation which can handle over 1,000 BOPD of light sweet oil. Additional drilling and exploration growth activity has been planned for the project in 2018-2025, with its working interest partners.

The management of the Company continues to review a number of additional, multiple potential large scale, highly prospective oil & gas production and exploration opportunities situated in the San Joaquin Valley region of California. The targeted assets and opportunities currently under review include a number of oil production assets with infrastructure facilities, monthly oil & gas production revenue, combined with a team of seasoned oil field personnel and field production operators in place to oversee production. The production and exploration opportunities being reviewed are situated on trend with a number of large regional California hydrocarbon discoveries which are nearby to existing producing oil fields. The management of the Company continues to review and maintain its high standard of due diligence with regard to the selection of any new management additions, and is being highly selective while considering and assessing its review of the various oil & gas production opportunities while completing its due diligence on the California opportunities and exploration datasets being presented. The Company continues to be cost effective and maintains its low overhead while opportunities are being explored.
