	3/8/2010 - VALIANT ADVANCES WITH DON SOUTHWEST PROJECT
Valiant Petroleum advises that the Area 22 production well on Don Southwest (Valiant, 40.0%) has now been successfully completed and is ready to produce. Production from the Don Fields is anticipated to restart shortly following commissioning of the permanent pipeline export route via the nearby Thistle platform, which is currently ongoing. The JOHN SHAW semi has been released, permitting access to the field for the hook-up of water injection on Don Southwest, which was also successfully achieved. Meanwhile, Valiant’s 2010 exploration program is also anticipated to begin shortly with the Diamond OCEAN NOMAD semi drilling rig anticipated to arrive for the Valiant-operated Tybalt prospect at the beginning of April 2010.
