Jura Energy Corporation (TSX:JEC) ("Jura") announced today that the Toronto
Stock Exchange has conditionally approved (the "TSX Approval") the various
matters applied for by Jura with respect to the acquisition agreement dated
November 23, 2011 between Jura and Eastern Petroleum Limited ("EPL") (as
amended, the "Acquisition Agreement"), including the following:




--  the consolidation of Jura's currently outstanding shares (the "Jura
    Shares") on the basis of one new Jura share (the "New Jura Shares") for
    each 10 Jura Shares; 
--  the issuance of 50,659,076 New Jura Shares in consideration of the

    private placement at a price of $1 per New Jura Share.



Subject to the satisfaction of the remaining conditions precedent to the closing
