Edge Provides Operational Update

CALGARY, ALBERTA -- (Marketwire) -- 05/10/11 -- Edge Resources Inc. ('Edge' or the 'Company') (TSX VENTURE: EDE) provides the following operational update.
The Company's current combined production is approximately 440 boe/day (74% natural gas), primarily from (i) the Edmonton Sands property in the Gilby area of central Alberta and (ii) the oil property in the Grand Forks area of southern Alberta.
The majority of the Company's Edmonton Sands production is tied-into its 100% owned and operated shallow gas infrastructure, which keeps operational costs below $1.00/mcf, and provides Edge with a significant cost advantage in a low-priced natural gas environment.
April production revenue exceeded $565,000. Revenue generated by the Company's infrastructure, including fees from third party production through the facility, exceeded $31,000 for the month.
The industry is currently experiencing 'spring breakup;' thus, the Company is waiting for road bans in the Gilby area to be removed before it can move equipment required for drilling, completing and tying-in wells.
Brad Nichol, President and CEO of Edge commented, 'Our low-cost advantages are bearing fruit in this low-priced natural gas environment. There are few, if any, others that can generate positive cash flow from natural gas production at this low-point in the natural gas cycle. Additionally, we can actively pursue agreements that will add to our position with little competition, which allows us to negotiate highly favourable terms.'
Edge has now earned or acquired a total of 23 sections of Edmonton Sands natural gas property. The Company has executed agreements that allow for up to another 27 sections of prospective Edmonton Sands land to be earned by drilling one well on each respective section and is actively negotiating additional agreements during the current low point in the natural gas cycle.

The management team's very high success rate is based on the safe, efficient deployment of capital and a proven ability to efficiently execute in shallow formations, which gives Edge Resources a sustainable, low-cost, competitive advantage.

Barrel ('bbl') of oil equivalent ('boe') amounts may be misleading particularly if used in isolation.
