Doxa Energy Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: DXA)(OTCQX: DXA)(FRANKFURT: 5D0) ("Doxa" or the "Company") is pleased to report that it has agreed to participate in two (2) new Texas Gulf Coast projects, and further provides the following operational updates:

Sartain Assets Prospect

Doxa disclosed that it has completed the acquisition of a 12.5% participating interest in roughly 1,000 acres comprising the Sartain Assets Ltd. Oil Prospect in Frio County, Texas. The initial well on the Sartain Assets Prospect is also a re-entry of an existing well, and is targeting the Pearsall Austin Chalk formation at a true vertical depth of approximately 6,000'. Drilling operations on the well, which includes a planned 4,200' horizontal lateral through the fractured Austin Chalk formation, has commenced. There are numerous prolific oil wells throughout the area surrounding the Sartain Assets Prospect, which is operated by AWP Operating Company of San Antonio, Texas.

Emshoff Prospect

Doxa reports that it has acquired a 15% working interest under the Emshoff Prospect in Wharton County, Texas. This project consists of a 640 acre unit upon which Dynamic Production, Inc., the operating partner, has recently commenced the drilling of a 16,000' test well. The Emshoff Unit No. 1ST is a re-entry and sidetrack of an existing well, and will be targeting middle Wilcox gas sands which are commercially productive on trend approximately 2.5 miles to the north. The Company estimates approximately twenty-five (25) days of drilling will be required to reach the objective depth, after which logging and testing operations will be undertaken.

Sarco Creek 3D Update

As previously reported (see Doxa news, October 7, 2010 & December 13, 2010), seismic data acquisition on the Sarco Creek 3D was commenced in December, 2010 and after several weather related delays, the Company now reports that this phase of the project is nearly 80% complete. Provided no additional adverse weather is encountered, field operations should be completed within the next few days. Processing of the field data has commenced and is expected to be complete by the end of March, 2011. Evaluation of the processed data will follow in an effort to identify and qualify drilling prospects. The data will initially be evaluated for oil and gas development opportunities in the Miocene and Frio formations above 5,000'.

Peeler Ranch No. 1-H Update

Multi-stage fracing operations have commenced on the Peeler Ranch No. 1-H in Atascosa County, Texas. The Peeler Ranch No. 1-H is the initial well on the Peeler Ranch Prospect, which was Doxa's Qualifying Transaction (see Doxa news, May 25, 2010). The Company plans to release details once these operations have been completed and the results are available.

Martin-State Gas Unit No. 1 Update

Doxa is pleased to report that drilling operations on the previously disclosed Martin-State Gas Unit No. 1 in McMullen County, Texas have been successfully completed and based on the results of log evaluation, production casing has been run and cemented. Completion operations will be undertaken in the near future with an anticipated Doxa news release to follow.

Davis-McCrary No. 1 Update

Due to unexpectedly high rate of water production associated with the expected oil production, completion operations on the Davis-McCrary No. 1 well, an Edwards formation test in Atascosa County have been suspended. The results of this initial completion attempt are being analyzed by the Operator, and the Company is anticipating a recommendation regarding the potential of future Davis-McCrary operations.
