CALGARY, Nov. 27 /CNW/ - Breaker Energy Ltd. (TSX:WAV) ("Breaker" or the
"Company") is pleased to announce that it has completed the previously
announced bought deal private placement of 823,600 Class A shares issued on a
"flow-through" basis (the "Flow-Through Shares") at an issue price at $8.50
each for aggregate gross proceeds of $7,000,600 (the "Offering"). The hold
period on these shares expires on March 28, 2009. The shares were issued
through a syndicate of underwriters led by Wellington West Capital Markets
Inc. and including FirstEnergy Capital Corp., Dundee Securities Corporation,

Gross proceeds from the sale of the Flow-Through Shares will be used to
fund ongoing exploration activities eligible for Canadian Exploration Expenses
which will be renounced in favour of the subscribers of the Flow-Through
Shares effective on or before December 31, 2008.
Breaker will use a significant portion of the proceeds of the Offering
for proprietary 3-D seismic acquisition at the Company's light oil exploration
area of Girouxville, where the Company recently doubled its undeveloped
acreage holdings. Funds will also be used to increase exploration drilling in
the same area where the Company has experienced approximately 90 percent
success drilling new light oil pools, most of which qualify for a one million
dollar maximum royalty holiday. The balance of the proceeds from the Offering
will be used to fund Breaker's ongoing exploration program.
Breaker Energy Ltd. is a junior oil and gas company focused on creating
shareholder value by growing per share production and reserves through
acquisitions and a focused exploration, development and exploitation plan.
Breaker trades on the TSX under the symbol WAV.
Breaker now has 41.0 million Class A Shares and 3.8 million Options
outstanding.
