FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
JED OIL INC. UPDATES DRILLING PROGRESS AND JMG EXPLORATION, INC.
REITERATES WARRANT EXTENSION
Calgary, Alberta – Tuesday, July 18, 2006 –JED Oil Inc. (AMEX: JDO) today updated its drilling results to date on its recently announced drilling program and JMG Exploration, Inc. (NYSE ARCA: JMG, JMG+) (“JMG”) reiterated the extension of its warrants to January 15, 2007.
JED has finished drilling the first well of its multi well program in the Pinedale/Jonah area of Wyoming. Total depth of this well was over 13,600 feet. Completion of this well will commence shortly and is expected to take several weeks. Based upon initial indications from this well, the second well is currently being prepared for drilling which is expected to commence on Wednesday of this week. An additional rig is scheduled to move to this area next month. Both JED and JMG have interests in this area. Following spring breakup, JED has participated in 5 wells in Ferrier with a 100% success rate. These wells are a follow up to 15 wells drilled in the fourth quarter of 2005 and the first quarter of 2006. Drilling is ongoing with two drilling rigs currently working in this area. JED also plans to commence drilling in North Dakota by the end of this month to follow up the three successful wells drilled in the Midale formation to date. “We are pleased with our drilling results to date and are on track with our drilling program,” stated Al Williams, JED’s President. “The Pinedale well is of special significance as it is the first well we have drilled in the area.”
In response to investor questions regarding the JMG warrants, management reiterated that the outstanding JMG warrants that were originally scheduled to expire in August and December of 2006 have been extended to January 15, 2007. Until JMG’s recently filed post-effective amendment to its SB-2 registration statement has been cleared by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the JMG warrants cannot be exercised.
