CALGARY, Oct. 24 /CNW/ – BNP Resources Inc. (“BNP” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to provide the following operational update.

<<
– Closed its flow-through and common equity share offerings raising
gross proceeds of approximately $2.4 million, as disclosed in its
October 16, 2007, press release.

– Since BNP’s second quarter report to shareholders it has completed
five exploratory wells, three of which have production tested as oil
and two as gas.

– One of the oil wells penetrated a significant oil column. However,
the Corporation is not in a position to assess its true potential
until the well is on production and a reserve report is completed by
an independent reservoir engineering firm in connection with the
evaluation of the Corporation’s reserves as at year end.

– Initiated equipping and tie-in of these five wells, with an
anticipated production start date of December 1, 2007. Actual initial
production levels will be determined once all the wells have been
equipped and tied in and are on production.

– Recently drilled a well in Southeast Saskatchewan which has been
cased and is in the process of being completed.

– BNP’s 2007 exploratory drilling program is now up to 11 wells, and
the Corporation is currently in the process of preparing up to five
more wells for drilling by the end of 2007. This will achieve its
2007 flow-through commitment of $10.25 million.

“We are very pleased with the results of these last five wells,” says Gregory Bilcox, President and CEO. “BNP intends to follow up on several light oil discoveries with a substantial oil well development drilling program in 2008”, continues Mr. Bilcox.

BNP is actively engaged in the exploration for, the development and production of, natural gas and oil reserves. BNP’s business strategy is to build sustainable and profitable per share growth through selective acquisitions and internally generated exploration and development drilling.

BNP has approximately 9,604,100 Class A shares and 922,500 Class B shares issued and outstanding which trade on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbols “BNX.A and “BNX.B”.
