Doxa Energy Ltd. ("Doxa" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: DXA)(OTCBB: DXAEF)(FRANKFURT: 5D0) announces that it has entered into a Letter of Intent ("LOI") to acquire an option of an undivided leasehold interest under approximately 18,000 gross acres in the emerging Mississippian Oil Play ("Mississippian Oil Play") in Oklahoma. The LOI, entered into with managing partner, Dynamic Production, Inc. of Fort Worth, Texas, provides that Doxa will have until May 20, 2011 in which to elect to acquire up to twenty percent (20%) under the recently assembled lease block, resulting in 3,600 net acres to the Company. The Mississippian Oil Play is an emerging horizontal play that has the potential to become one of the most profitable domestic onshore oil plays today. The Mississippian Oil Play is led by Chesapeake Energy Corporation, SandRidge Energy, Inc. and Eagle Energy of Oklahoma, LLC. All of Doxa's proposed leases are situated in Alfalfa, Garfield, Grant and Kay Counties, Oklahoma.

According to recent public disclosures by these leading companies, this play exhibits excellent economics with single well estimated ultimate recovery projected at 300-400 MBOE and with estimated drilling and completion costs under US$3.0mil per well. In its presentation to the IPAA this month in New York, SandRidge announced that after drilling 52 wells in the play, it expects to achieve over 150% (i)ROR, and a net present value per well of US$6.3mil, based on the Nymex strip pricing as of March 18, 2011. Based on current well spacing estimates from area operators, Doxa anticipates that up to 72 gross wells may ultimately be drilling on the acreage block, or 14 net wells to Doxa, provided it elects to participate for twenty percent (20%). The Company plans to release additional information on the proposed acquisition once details are finalized. The terms of the LOI provide for closing on or before June 3, 2011. At this time Doxa is unaware as to whether or not the aforementioned volumes and estimates pertaining to the Mississippian Oil Play are NI 51-101 compliant.
