NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES WIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

CALGARY, Sept. 7, 2011 /CNW/ - Bolivar Energy Corp. ("Bolivar") (TSXV: BVR) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a letter of intent dated as of September 5, 2011 (the "Letter Agreement") with Anatolia Energy Inc. ("Anatolia"). The Letter Agreement indicates that Bolivar will acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Anatolia (the "Transaction") based on a valuation of $0.08 per pre-consolidated common share of Bolivar for deemed consideration of $70.7 million through the issuance of approximately 884 million Bolivar pre-consolidated common shares. The Letter Agreement also contemplates that all securities convertible into common shares of Anatolia will be exchanged or converted into, or entitle the Anatolia holders to acquire, an equivalent number of Bolivar securities in accordance with the same valuation. Additionally, concurrent with the Transaction, Bolivar will complete a 20 for 1 consolidation of its common shares ("Share Consolidation"). On a post Share Consolidation basis, Anatolia shareholders will receive 44.2 million common shares of Bolivar valued at $1.60 per common share and, prior to closing the Transaction and excluding the common shares to be issued to Anatolia, Bolivar will have 17.9 million shares issued and outstanding for total issued and outstanding of approximately 62.1 million shares on closing. Upon closing, it is anticipated that 71.2% of the issued and outstanding shares of the resulting issuer will be held by existing Anatolia common shareholders and 28.8% will be held by existing Bolivar common shareholders.

Anatolia is a private company incorporated in Alberta with oil and gas assets in Turkey. Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Anatolia Energy (Turkey) Inc., Anatolia has the right, pursuant to its joint venture agreements with Çalık Enerji Sanayive Ticaret A.Ş. ("Calık"), the wholly-owned oil and gas subsidiary of the large Turkish conglomerate Çalık Holding A.Ş., to earn working interests equal to either 50% or 25% in two development licences and six exploration licences covering an aggregate of 336,509 net acres of land in Turkey's proven Southeastern Anatolia oil basin. Anatolia is focused on four play types in Turkey namely the Paleozoic Bedinan sand trend, Cretaceous Mardin strike slip trend, Garzan reef trend and Silurian Dadas shale oil trend.

The Transaction is subject to the execution of a definitive agreement between Bolivar and Anatolia and, when completed, is intended to be a "reverse takeover" for the purposes of the requirements of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSX-V"). None of the insiders of Bolivar or their associates and affiliates is a "Non-Arm's Length Party" (as defined under the TSX-V policies) or is an insider of Anatolia or its direct or indirect shareholders and as a result the Transaction is at arm's length between the parties.

Robert Spring, Chief Executive Officer of Anatolia stated that "We are excited to enter into the Letter Agreement with Bolivar and expose Bolivar shareholders to our Turkish assets that range from development drilling, with results from our first well expected by year-end, to high impact exploration, all targeting conventional light oil. We also expose Bolivar shareholders to the unconventional Silurian Dadas shale oil play in Turkey that is the major source rock throughout the Middle East. We are grateful that Mr. VanSickle will remain on the board and Mr. Moreland and Mr. Argiris have agreed to continue with the resulting issuer to advance our business plan."

John Moreland, President and Chief Executive Officer of Bolivar stated "Bolivar is very excited at the prospect of combining with Anatolia. We believe the benefits of the combined entity provide existing Bolivar shareholders with not only an immediately accretive valuation premium, but also exposure to a strategic partnership with an interesting suite of assets in Turkey. We believe that the Anatolia assets provide upside to Bolivar shareholders and we are thrilled at joining forces with the Anatolia team with a goal of building a world-class international E&P company. "

The Bolivar securities to be issued to the security holders of Anatolia in the Transaction will be issued pursuant to exemptions from the prospectus requirements of applicable securities legislation and may be subject to resale restrictions under the applicable securities legislation and will likely be subject to escrow conditions as required by the TSX-V. In addition, Anatolia has secured voluntary lock-up agreements (the "Lock-Up Agreements") from 96% of its current shareholders and warrantholders. Pursuant to the Lock-Up Agreements, 20% of the Anatolia shareholders are being locked-up for a period of 18 months following the completion of the Transaction with one-third vesting every six months and 76% of Anatolia shareholders and 96% of the warrantholders are being locked-up for a period of six months following the completion of the Transaction.

The parties have agreed to negotiate in good faith the terms and conditions of a definitive acquisition agreement and related documentation on or before September 21, 2011, or such other mutually acceptable date. Bolivar and Anatolia intend to hold shareholders' meetings on or before November 30, 2011 to approve the Transaction.

In connection with the Transaction, Raymond James Ltd. is acting as exclusive financial advisor to Anatolia. In addition, Bolivar has engaged Haywood Securities in an advisory role, which will include a formal fairness opinion on the proposed Transaction. The Transaction is subject to sponsorship under the policies of the TSX-V. The parties anticipate that they will be applying for an exemption from the sponsorship requirements of the TSX-V, failing which a sponsor will be retained.

A further news release will be disseminated setting forth information relating to Anatolia's oil and gas assets and other information material to the Transaction.


Conditions to the Completion of the Transaction

The obligations of Bolivar and Anatolia to carry out the Transaction shall be subject to, among other things: (i) the execution of a definitive agreement between Bolivar and Anatolia; (ii) the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the approval of the Transaction in accordance with the TSX-V policies; (iii) the receipt of all necessary shareholder and board of director approvals; (iv) the confirmation of the representations and warranties of each party to the Letter Agreement; (v) the absence of any material adverse effect on the financial and operational condition or the assets of each of the parties; (vi) the delivery of standard closing documentation; and (vii) other conditions precedent customary for a transaction such as the Transaction. The conditions listed above are for the benefit of, and maybe waived by, Bolivar and Anatolia as it relates to the obligations of the other party to perform or obtain the same. The Letter Agreement also includes a reciprocal break-fee in the amount of $1.0 million.

Trading in the common shares of Bolivar was halted on September 6, 2011. Trading in the common shares of Bolivar will remain halted and is expected to resume upon satisfaction of certain conditions set by the TSX -V.


Bolivar's Strategic Rationale for the Transaction

The board of directors of Bolivar believes that the transaction provides a number of benefits to its shareholders, including:

- Diversify the company's asset base and result in a balanced portfolio of developmental and high impact exploration prospects in Turkey and Colombia with multiple play types;

- Exposure to Anatolia's Caliktepe-2 well, which is expected to be spudded in October 2011 and is an updip step-out well from a previous oil discovery;

- Exposure to potential oil resource play in Turkey's Silurian Dadas shale oil, which is a formation yet to be fully evaluated in Turkey, but is a proven source rock throughout the Middle East and North Africa;

- Leverage to Anatolia's 336,509 net acres undeveloped land base that has only had a relatively small percentage fully evaluated to date;

- Exposure to Turkey's attractive oil and gas fiscal terms (e.g. 12.5% flat royalty, 20% corporate tax and Brent crude pricing) and growing economy which requires approximately 90% of its energy demand to be imported;

- Receive a significant premium to Bolivar's current share price based on the Transaction's terms; and

- Gain access to Anatolia's experienced and successful board of directors.


Anatolia's Strategic Rationale for the Transaction

The board of directors of Anatolia believes that the transaction provides a number of benefits to its shareholders, including:

- Access to $17 million of current cash;

- Provide a public listing which provides the company with a greater ability to access additional capital;

- Exposure to potentially high deliverability structural and stratigraphic light oil plays in the Llanos Basin of Colombia which could be drilled in early 2012; and

- Add an experienced board member and two experienced senior officers.


About Anatolia

Company Focus

Anatolia is an international exploration and development company focused on oil and gas assets in the Anatolia basin in Southeastern Turkey. Anatolia can earn either a 50% or 25% working interest in eight licences namely the Bismil, Antep, Besni and Sinan licences totalling 336,509 net acres. More specifically, Anatolia has the potential to earn a 50% working interest in its Antep, Besni and Sinan licences and a 25% working interest in its Bismil licence. Anatolia also has the option to increase its working interest to 50% from 25% in the Dadas shale oil formation on its Bismil licence. Anatolia's senior management team and board of directors have significant international oil and gas exploration and operational experience and have made numerous oil and gas discoveries during their careers. Through its exploration efforts to date, Anatolia has identified four major exploration trends, including an emerging shale oil play, over its licences and generated 15 prospects.

With a flat royalty rate of 12.5%, corporate tax rate of 20% and Brent crude pricing, Anatolia believes Turkey provides operators with one of the highest operating netbacks in the world. Access to local European markets is available through six oil refineries with over 700,000 bbl/d processing capacity and four large gas pipelines with over 2.8 Tcf of annual capacity. Modern ports are located in the cities of Ceyhan, Izmir and Istanbul, and a modern highway infrastructure system provides efficient access to Anatolia's licences. This entire infrastructure provides for low transportation costs and quick access to global oil and gas markets. The country also imports a significant amount of its energy needs (90%), therefore any new hydrocarbon production in Turkey could likely easily displace an equivalent volume of imports.


History of Business Operations

Anatolia was formed as a private Alberta corporation on January 26, 2011 with the Chief Executive Officer being involved in sourcing the Turkey assets since 2008. To date, Anatolia has raised $11.8 million of equity in a series of private placements.

On January 29, 2011, Anatolia signed a joint venture agreement (the "JV Agreement") with Calık for its Bismil, Antep, Besni and Sinan licences. During February and March 2011, technical evaluations were conducted on Bismil, Antep and Besni, which lead to the preparation of the AJM Petroleum Consultants ("AJM") NI 51-101 resource report in May 2011. Pursuant to the JV Agreement, in order for Anatolia to earn its working interests, it must advance US$26.5 million in escrow for work to be performed on the licences. To date, Anatolia has made contributions of US$10.0 million which funded its recently completed 295km 2D seismic program at the Antep licence, the commencement of the current 2D and 3D seismic programs on the Bismil licence, the planned 2D seismic program on the Besni licence and to fund the lead up items for the drilling the Caliktepe-2 well at Bismil, which is expected to be spudded in October 2011.

On June 7, 2011, Anatolia entered into a joint venture supplemental agreement with Calık, pursuant to which Anatolia has the option to increase its working interest in the Dadas shale oil formation within the two Bismil licences from 25% to 50% by completing the initial evaluation studies and advancing US$12.0 million in escrow for defined work programs.
