PPY.A Painted Pony Petroleum Ltd., Class A

Painted Pony Petroleum Ltd. ("Painted Pony" or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE:PPY.A) (TSX VENTURE:PPY.B) is pleased to announce initial test results
on its northeast British Columbia Montney lands. 


Painted Pony recently drilled and completed a horizontal Montney well at
d-44-C/94-B-16 (50% working interest, Painted Pony operated) during the third
quarter of 2011, with partner UGR Blair Creek Ltd. This lower Montney well was
flowing at 24.5 MMcf/d at over 2,700 psi at the end of sixty hours of testing.
Due to flare permit limits, this well is expected to be shut-in later today. The
well is expected to be tied in and brought on production late in the fourth
quarter. 


In addition, two non-operated lower horizontal Montney wells have been completed
and brought on production during the third quarter of 2011. The c-A58-J/94-B-9
well (20% working interest) was drilled, completed and placed onto production in
the third quarter. After producing for 18 days, this well flowed at 10.9 MMcf/d
at over 2,400 psi. The a-C10-J/94B-9 well (20% working interest) produced at
10.8 MMcf/d at over 2,600 psi, after flowing intermittently for approximately 10
days. 


The Company drilled 5 (2.9 net) Montney wells during the third quarter, with 1
(1.0 net) horizontal well currently drilling.


Advisory

BOEs may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion
ratio of 6 Mcf: 1 bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method
primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value
equivalency at the wellhead.


Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information

This news release contains certain forward-looking information (collectively
referred to herein as "forward looking statements ") within the meaning of
applicable Canadian securities laws. Forward-looking statements are often, but
not always, identified by the use of words such as "anticipate", "believe",
"plan", "potential", "intend", "objective", "continuous", "ongoing",
"encouraging", "estimate", "expect", "may", "will", "project", "should", or
similar words suggesting future outcomes. These forward-looking statements are
based on numerous assumptions including but not limited to (i) drilling success;
(ii) production; (iii) future capital expenditures; and (iv) cash flow from
operating activities. The reader is cautioned that assumptions used in the
preparation of such information may prove to be incorrect.


Forward-looking statements are based upon the opinions and expectations of
management of the Company as at the effective date of such statements and, in
some cases, information supplied by third parties. Although the Company believes
that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based
upon reasonable assumptions and that information received from third parties is
reliable, it can give no assurance that those expectations will prove to have
been correct. Forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual events or outcomes to differ materially
from those anticipated or implied by such forward-looking statements.


With respect to forward-looking statements contained in this document, Painted
Pony has made a number of assumptions. The key assumptions underlying the
aforementioned forward-looking statements include assumptions that: (i)
commodity prices will be volatile throughout 2011; (ii) capital, undeveloped
lands and skilled personnel will continue to be available at the level Painted
Pony has enjoyed to date; (iii) Painted Pony will be able to obtain equipment in
a timely manner to carry out exploration, development and exploitation
activities; (iv) Painted Pony will have sufficient financial resources with
which to conduct the capital program; (v) the accuracy of geological and
geophysical data and Painted Pony's interpretation of that data; (vi) the
results of wells drilled by Painted Pony to date on its properties and
production from those wells, the results of wells drilled by third parties in
the vicinity of the Company's properties; (vii) that production from new wells
will be substantially similar to production rates associated with existing wells
in the vicinity of the Company's properties; (viii) the continued ability of the
Company to generate internal cash flow and the availability of capital on
acceptable terms; and (ix) the current tax and regulatory regime will remain
substantially unchanged. Certain or all of the forgoing assumptions may prove to
be untrue.


Certain information regarding Painted Pony set forth in this document, including
management's assessment of Painted Pony's future plans and operations, number,
type and timing of wells to be drilled, the planning and development of certain
prospects, production estimates, treatment under governmental regulatory regimes
and expected production growth may constitute forward-looking statements under
applicable securities laws and necessarily involve substantial known and unknown
risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are subject to
numerous risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond Painted Pony's
control, including without limitation, risks associated with oil and gas
exploration, development, exploitation, production, marketing and
transportation, loss of markets, volatility of commodity prices, environmental
risks, inability to obtain drilling rigs or other services, capital expenditure
costs, including drilling, completion and facility costs, unexpected decline
rates in wells, weather conditions (including access to well sites and leases),
wells not performing as expected, delays resulting from or inability to obtain
required regulatory approvals and ability to access sufficient capital from
internal and external sources, the impact of general economic conditions in
Canada, the United States and overseas, industry conditions, changes in laws and
regulations (including the adoption of new environmental laws and regulations)
and changes in how they are interpreted and enforced, increased competition, the
lack of availability of qualified personnel or management, fluctuations in
foreign exchange or interest rates, and stock market volatility and market
valuations of companies with respect to announced transactions and the final
valuations thereof. 


Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive.
Painted Pony's actual results, performance or achievement could differ
materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking
statements and, accordingly, no assurance can be given that any of the events
anticipated by the forward-looking statements will transpire or occur, or if any
of them do so, what benefits, including the amount of proceeds, that the Company

written or oral, attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are
expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements.
