BUCKING HORSE ENERGY INC. ANNOUNCES CLOSING OF PROPERTY SALE, APPLICATION TO THE NEX AND CORPORATE CHANGES

VANCOUVER - March 5, 2013 - Bucking Horse Energy Inc. (TSX: BUC), ("Bucking Horse" or the "Company"), announces the closing of the sale of the Company's developed well-bore interests (the "Assets") in the Pinedale field in Wyoming to an arms-length industry purchaser. The transaction was previously announced in the Company's news releases dated December 13,
2012 and February 20, 2013, and described in the Company's information circular dated January
16, 2013. Shareholder approval for the sale was obtained on February 16, 2013. The Assets sold include 66 oil and gas wells and associated petroleum and natural gas production rights, but they do not include the Company's undeveloped oil and gas reserves and leasehold interests. The purchase price for the Assets was US$61,000,000 which was adjusted down at closing for production revenues received and certain expenses incurred since August 1, 2012 (as provided in the Purchase and Sale Agreement). The net proceeds were used to reduce secured debt obligations of the Company.
As a result of the sale, the Company no longer meets the continued listing requirements of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX"). The Company's board of directors has signed a resolution directing the Company to voluntarily delist from the TSX on or about March 28, 2013 and apply for listing on the NEX board of the TSX Venture Exchange to ensure a trading market for the Company's shares.
