Bronco Signs Letter of Intent With Indian Oil and Gas Canada to Issue Leases

As an update to its press release of January 21, 2007, Bronco Energy Ltd. announces that it has executed a letter of intent with Indian Oil and Gas Canada (“IOGC”) providing for the issuance to Bronco of leases on Bigstone Cree Nation Reserves 166A and 166D at Wabasca, Alberta. The leases are currently being prepared by IOGC and should be completed in approximately 2 weeks. The new leases will cover 8,844 hectares (34.5 sections) rather than the 6,500 hectares (25.4 sections) previously announced on November 21, 2006. It has also been agreed that Bronco will pay a flat rate of 8.5% on its share of production on the new IOGC leases as well as on existing IOGC Oil Sands Lease 6117. The Joint Venture Agreement entered into between Bronco and the Bigstone Cree Nation is expected to be amended to provide for the new royalty rate of 8.5%. IOGC also informed Bronco that it may apply for royalty relief if the SAGD test drilling and subsequent pilot testing economics support a reduction. IOGC has advised Bronco that all of its concerns have now been satisfied.
