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, BMO Capital Markets, CIBC World Markets, Scotia Capital Inc. and Tristone Capital Inc.

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.
