NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE U.S.

Unitech Energy Resources Inc. (" Unitech" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:URX) is
pleased to announce that it has it closed on the terms of the previously
announced arm's length sub-farmout agreement (the "Sub-Farmout Agreement") with
Batoche Resources Ltd. ("BRL") as well the arm's length investment agreement
("Investment Agreement") with BRL and Gregory J. Leia, on behalf of an initial
group of investors (the "Initial Investor Group"). The terms of the Sub-Farmout
Agreement and the Investment Agreement were initially announced by the Company
on April 27, 2011.


The Company completed the first tranche of its previously announced private
placement of units (each, a "Unit") after receiving the conditional acceptance
of the transactions contemplated by the Sub-Farmout Agreement and the Investment
Agreement from the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"). Unitech issued a total
of 55,400,000 Units at a price $0.05 per Unit for gross proceeds of $2,770,000.
Each Unit is comprised of one common share in the capital of the Company (a
"Common Share") and one common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each
Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Common Share at any time within two
years of the date of issuance at a price of $0.10 per Common Share. If the
Company effects a consolidation of its Common Shares at any time within 12
months of closing of the private placement on the basis of at least 2 old for 1
new, the exercise price of the Warrants will be reduced to $0.075 per Common
Share (pre-consolidation).


The Investment Agreement provides that the Initial Investor Group (being an
initial group of investors to be identified by Mr. Leia, including Mr. Leia) was
required to subscribe for a minimum of $2.5 million of Units. This condition was
satisfied and Mr. Leia personally subscribed, directly or indirectly, for a
total of 8,500,000 Units ($425,000).


In connection with the completion of the first tranche of the private placement,
Unitech paid a cash finder's fee in the amount of $112,250 and issued 4,490,000
warrants to eligible finders who introduced subscribers to the private
placement. Each such warrant was issued to finders on the same terms as the
Warrants comprising the Units.


All of the securities issued under the private placement are subject to a four
month resale restriction.


The proceeds of the first tranche of the Private Placement will be used to
satisfy Unitech's obligations under the Sub-Farmout Agreement to drill, complete
and equip (to a single well battery stage) a 2,500 foot lateral in an Eagle Ford
horizontal well with multistage completion on the lands located 15 miles south
of Eagle Pass in Maverick County, Texas (the "Lands"). An internal geological
report on the Lands was prepared by Sharon Macleod (PhD. Geol) and Steve Price
(P. Eng). The report provides that the Lands are located in the Upper Cretaceous
Maverick Basin of the Western Gulf Province in Maverick County, Texas. In this
portion of the basin the Eagle Ford is thermally mature, oil bearing and of
reservoir quality. It produces oil with no water from horizontal wells. The
report also provides that the Eagle Ford shale oil play is considered an
unconventional accumulation and concludes that the play is an ideal candidate
for horizontal drilling with multi-stage fracture stimulation technology.


The terms of the Sub-Farmout Agreement provide that if Unitech drills and
completes this well, it will earn a net 65% working interest in 576 acres and
Unitech will be entitled to 100% payback of its costs from the net cash
proceeds. Unitech expects to commence drilling this well prior to the end of May
2011.


If Unitech drills and completes the first well, Unitech will have a rolling
option (not an obligation) to drill, complete and equip (to a single well
battery stage) an additional five Eagle Ford horizontal wells with multistage
completion. The terms of the Sub-Farmout Agreement provide that, for each of the
additional five wells that may be drilled and completed, Unitech will earn a net
65% working interest in an additional 1,000 acres for each well drilled and
Unitech will be entitled to payback of its costs from the net cash proceeds. If
Unitech drills and completes all six wells, it will have the right to become the
operator.


The Sub-Farmout Agreement also provides for a put/call provision which provides
that at any time after 6 months after drilling a well to earn a working interest
in acreage on the Lands, either party can commission an independent engineer to
prepare an engineering valuation of that parcel in accordance with value
methodology which creates the maximum value used by such engineer, provided such
methodology is acceptable to the Exchange. BRL's working interest in such earned
acreage shall be valued at an amount equal to the engineered value for proved
producing well and one probable well with a pre-tax discount factor of 10% using
actual costs ("FMV Earned Acreage"). The Sub-Farmout Agreement provides that the
Company can require BRL to sale, or BRL can require the Company to purchase,
BRL's working interest in such earned acreage for a purchase price equal to the
FMV Earned Acreage. The purchase price will be satisfied in part by a cash or
debt (40% of the purchase price) as well as by the issuance of common shares of
the Company at the then market price of the common shares (as determined in
accordance with the policies of the Exchange).


In accordance with the terms of the Investment Agreement, Unitech has also
completed a change of its board of directors and management. Messrs. Colin
Ogilvy, Roger Brundrit and Dwayne Vinck resigned as directors of Unitech and Mr.
Leia was appointed as a director to fill one of the vacancies. It is expected
that the other two vacancies will be filled by two other individuals nominated
by Mr. Leia and acceptable to the Exchange. The new board of directors appointed
Gregory J. Leia as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company
while Steve Price, formerly the President, was appointed as the V.P.
Engineering. Dwayne Vinck will remain as the Company's Chief Financial Officer.


Mr. Leia is currently the sole shareholder of BRL. Mr. Leia was the sole
shareholder of Batoche Energy Corp. which was sold to and amalgamated with
Antler Creek Energy Corp in May 2009. In May 2010, Mr. Leia resigned as an
officer and director of Antler Creek Energy Corp (which has since changed its
name to Pinecrest Energy Inc.). Mr. Leia has practiced law in the Province of
Alberta for over 28 years, most recently with the law firm Wolff Leia since
1990.


The Company will provide additional disclosure relating to the additional
directors who will be joining the Company at the applicable time.


Unitech also announces that it has called a special meeting of shareholders for
June 16, 2011 to approve: (i) a proposed consolidation of the Common Shares on a
10 old for 1 new basis; (ii) a proposed change of the Company name to "Jadela
Oil Corp."; and (iii) the Change of Control (as defined in the policies of the
Exchange) resulting from Mr. Leia's subscription under the initial tranche of
the private placement and his position as a director and officer of the Company.


In addition to the Sub-Farmout Agreement and the Investment Agreement, at
closing, Unitech also entered into two option agreements with BRL with a view to
acquiring additional oil and gas minerals rights in Maverick County, Texas. The
terms of these option agreements provide that Unitech may acquire a 77.5%
working interest (subject to certain rights of first refusal) in mineral rights
by paying the consideration set out in the option agreement or lease agreement
referenced in such option agreements. Similar to the Sub-Farmout Agreement, the
option agreements also provide for a put/call provision which provides that at
any time after 6 months after drilling a well to earn a working interest, either
party can commission an independent engineer to prepare an engineering valuation
of that parcel in accordance with value methodology which creates the maximum
value used by such engineer, provided such methodology is acceptable to the
Exchange. BRL's working interest in such earned acreage shall be valued at an
amount equal to the FMV Earned Acreage. The option agreements provide that the
Company can require BRL to sale, or BRL can require the Company to purchase,
BRL's working interest in such earned acreage for a purchase price equal to the
FMV Earned Acreage. The purchase price will be satisfied in part by a cash or
debt (40% of the purchase price) as well as by the issuance of common shares of
the Company at the then market price of the common shares (as determined in
accordance with the policies of the Exchange).
