Growth Through Successful Exploration and Drilling Strategies

June 19, 2008 NEWS RELEASE   For Immediate Release  Preeceville Drilling Update Company Receives Licenses to Drill First Two Wells in Lloydminster     WINNIPEG, MB. (June 19, 2008) - Donald Benson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Nordic Oil and Gas Ltd. (“Nordic” or, the “Company”), announced today that the logging has been completed at the Company’s well at Preeceville, Saskatchewan and that the intervals for perforation have now been identified. The service rig should be on location on Saturday, June 21, 2008, and it is anticipated that the perforations testing and possible fracture stimulation will take up to 10 days to complete.    “The condition of the well site was such that there was an unforeseen delay in de-mobilizing the rig from the site,” Mr. Benson stated. “This in turn has caused a delay in being able to perforate the well.” In other news Mr. Benson also stated that the Company has received well licenses for the drilling of two new wells in Lloydminster. “Now that we have these licenses, we expect to commence drilling these two wells shortly,” he said. Furthermore, with regard to the 11-13-38-25 W4 Belly River well at Joffre, which was drilled last summer by Desoto Resources Limited (“Desoto”), one of Nordic’s Joint Venture partners, “EnCana Corporation (“EnCana”) objected to us producing the well due to the continuing litigation regarding the validity of the lease,” Mr. Benson stated. “The Alberta Energy and Utilities Board has ruled in favour of EnCana, however that decision will now be appealed by Desoto in the Court of Queens Bench.” About Nordic Oil and Gas Ltd.
