The Goéland Property consists of 47 mining claims within and adjacent to the Montviel Carbonatite Complex. Historic exploration at Montviel has revealed strong potential for rare earth element ("REE"), niobium and phosphate mineralization. The Montviel Carbonatite Complex encompasses 6 main geological units: Pmtv1 through 6. To date, almost all of the anomalous REE, niobium and phosphate values have been encountered within Pmtv5, which is composed of ferrocarbonatite, apatite-bearing ferrocarbonatite, silicocarbonatite, and pyrrhotite-bearing calciocarbonatite.

The Goéland Property consists of 2 claim groups; 1 on the west side of the complex and 1 on the east side. The western group consists of 23 claims (1,265 hectares) and covers 1 of the 2 main areas within the complex underlain by unit Pmtv5. Geomega Resources Inc. (TSX.V: GMA) recently announced a 10,000 metre drill program to test mineralization associated with Pmtv5 within the central part of the complex along with other satellite targets. The eastern claim group consists of 22 claims (1,210 hectares) and is covered with thick overburden. The Goéland Property is easily accessible via a network of logging roads. The principal exploration target for the property is carbonatite hosted REE mineralization, similar to Commerce Resources' (TSX.V: CCE) Ashram REE Zone at the Eldor Property, northern Québec or the ST1 REE Zone at Hudson Resources' (TSX.V: HUD) Sarfartoq Property in Greenland.

Carbonatite-related deposits are a major host for REEs worldwide and have been proven to produce saleable rare earth concentrates and oxides. 3 of the most advanced rare earth projects currently under development: Molycorp's (NYSE: MCP) Mountain Pass Deposit, Lynas's (ASX: LYC) Mt. Weld Deposit and Rare Earth Element Resources' (TSX.V: RES) (AMEX: REE) Bear Lodge Deposit; all are hosted by carbonatites. To acquire a 100% interest in the property, Canada Gas has agreed to pay the Vendors $25,000 on signing, and:

1. 1,000,000 common shares of the Company upon TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX.V") acceptance.
2. 500,000 common shares of the Company on the 12 month anniversary of TSX.V acceptance.
3. 500,000 common shares of the Company on the 24 month anniversary of TSX.V acceptance.
4. 500,000 common shares of the Company on the 36 month anniversary of TSX.V acceptance.

The Vendors will retain a 2% Net Smelter Return Royalty on the property. In conjunction with the completion of the transaction, a finder's fee will be payable in accordance with the policies of the TSX.V. As a condition of the option, the Vendors require Canada Gas to complete a non-brokered private placement for total gross proceeds of $250,000. Canada Gas thereby also announces a private placement financing, issuing 1,666,667 million units for gross proceeds of $250,000. Each unit is priced at $0.15 and will include 1 share and 1 share purchase warrant exercisable at $0.25 for a period of 2 years. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of a loan agreement dated April 30, 2010, Sun Tzu Ventures Inc., a company wholly owned by a director of the Company (the "Lender"), has elected to convert the outstanding principal of a loan advanced to the Company by the Lender into units of the Company (the "Units") at a conversion price of $0.15 per unit. Each Unit will be comprised of 1 common share of the Company and 1 share purchase warrant entitling the Lender to purchase 1 additional common share of the Company at a price of $0.30 for a period of 3 years from the date of issuance of the warrant. At the $0.15 conversion rate the Company will be required to issue 666,667 Units to the Lender.

The Company also announces that it is granting 950,000 incentive stock options to directors, officers, consultants and advisors of the Company exercisable at a price of $0.16 for a period of 5 years.

These risks include, but are not limited to: the risks associated with the oil and gas industry (e.g., operational risks in development, exploration and production; delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures; the uncertainty of reserve estimates; the uncertainty of estimates and projections relating to production, costs and expenses, and health, safety and environmental risks), commodity price, price and exchange rate fluctuation and uncertainties resulting from potential delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures.

Oil and Gas Advisory. This press release may contain disclosure expressed as "boe". All oil and natural gas equivalency volumes have been derived using the ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil. Equivalency measures may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the well head. The TSX Venture Exchange has not reviewed and does not accept responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
