RED HILL ENERGY CONFIRMS LARGE COAL RESOURCE AT CHANDGANA TAL COAL PROJECT, MONGOLIA

Vancouver, British Columbia, June 12, 2007: Red Hill Energy Inc. (TSX-V: RH) announced today that it has increased the extent of its second substantial Mongolian coal deposit located in eastern Mongolia.� Red Hill Energy has two advanced coal projects inside Mongolia, Ulaan Ovoo (208.8 million tonnes) located in north Central Mongolia and Chandgana Tal, located in mid-eastern Mongolia. Results from a recent drilling program at Chandgana Tal confirm the existence of a 30-50 m coal seam over nearly the entire deposit. Two additional coal seams 0.5-1.5 m thick are locally present and are close enough to the thick seam to be of economic interest. The new drilling significantly expands the resource in the western half of the property, where no holes had previously been drilled. Except at the outcrop, the seam is nearly flat and remains shallow over the entire license area, making it ideal for open pit production. The average stripping ratio is less than 1:1.

Eight core holes were completed for total of 730 total meters. Drilling was spaced closely enough to completely categorize the resource as Measured, following NI 43-101 and JORC reporting standards. Two holes were drilled as twins to historical drill holes and confirm the seam thicknesses reported previously. One twinned hole more than doubled the reported coal thickness because the historical drill hole was terminated before the full interval was penetrated. Historical drilling used the Russian resource reporting system to define a total reportable coal resource of 90 million tonnes. The resource will likely increase because the recent drilling demonstrated that very thick coal continues outside the boundaries defined by the historical drill holes and across the entire license area. A NI 43-101 compliant resource report is being prepared now and will be finished later this summer.

Over 200 core samples were taken from all drill holes, and these will be subjected to a full suite of assays over the next few weeks, with final results expected in about a month. Assays will be analyzed at SGS's internationally certified laboratory in Tianjin, China. Samples were sealed immediately upon retrieval and packed in wooden boxes to prevent damage during transport. Reserves from each sample will be kept at the laboratory. Historical assays indicate that the Chandgana coal is a low-ash, low-sulfur subbituminous coal with potential for power generation and coal-to-liquids generation. The new assays are designed to test all of the parameters necessary to determine the markets for this coal.

Chandgana Tal is located approximately 300 km east of Mongolia's capital Ulaanbaatar and 145 km east of the Mongolian Railroad. The Chinese/Mongolian border is 300 kilometers to the south.

Mr. Ranjeet Sundher, president of Red Hill Energy, stated today that:

"These results verify that Red Hill Energy now potentially has a second world class coal discovery inside Mongolia"

He added:

"We will continue to advance the Ulaan Ovoo coal project towards production while simultaneously building on recent successes at Chandgana Tal."
