TUSCANY'S 2014 YEAR END RESERVES INCREASE 27% TO 2.86 MILLION BOE; NPV10 INCREASES 58% TO $61.9 MM ON HIGHER RESERVES AND LOWER OPERATING COSTS

Calgary, Alberta, March 2, 2015, Tuscany Energy Ltd. (TUS-TSXV) ("Tuscany" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the results of its independent reserves evaluation and estimate effective December 31, 2014. Conducted by McDaniel and Associates Consultants Ltd. ("McDaniel"), the reserves report (the "McDaniel Report") shows growth year-over-year in both reserve volumes and net present value.

2014 Highlights

• 58% increase in net present value to $61.9 MM (before tax NPV10, up from $39.2 MM in 2013)
• 20% increase in Proved reserves (1.60 MMBOE, up from 1.32 MMBOE in 2013)
• 27% increase in Proved + Probable reserves (2.86 MMBOE, up from 2.25 MMBOE in 2013)

Despite lower recent oil prices that have impacted all reserve price decks, including pricing used in the McDaniel Report, Tuscany recorded a substantial increase in net present value due to two key factors. The first reason was the increase in reserve volumes due to successful drilling at Macklin, and Evesham. The second reason was Tuscany's successful focus on lowering operating costs. Operating cost reductions were achieved in 2014 by implementing additional Company-owned water disposal capacity, replacing rentals with purchased equipment, and utilizing Company-owned gas from a producing well on the Company's newly acquired Sparky acreage at Macklin.

2014 Reserves

Proved plus probable reserves totaled 2.86 MMBOE as of December 31, 2014, a 27% increase from the prior year. The estimated net present value of future net revenue attributable to the Company's reserves, before tax using a 10% discount rate, also increased by 58% to $61.9 million, compared with $39.2 million at December 31, 2013.

The increase in reserve volumes resulted primarily from the addition of 9 heavy oil wells (7.8 net wells) drilled during 2014 in the Macklin, Evesham and Rutland areas of Saskatchewan and Morgan area in Alberta.

The increase in net present value was due to increases in reserves, production rates and Tuscany successfully reducing its average operating costs at the Macklin and Evesham properties.

The Company's December 31, 2014 reserves were evaluated by McDaniel, a qualified reserves evaluator in accordance with the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook and National Instrument 51-101 Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities. The McDaniel Report is dated February 24, 2015 and effective December 31, 2014.

The following summary is based on the McDaniel Report:

Detailed reserve information will be contained in the Company's Statement of Reserves Data and Other Oil and Gas Information which will be available on the Company's Annual Information Form profile at www.sedar.com when it is filed.

It should not be assumed that the estimates of net present value of net revenue attributable to the Company's reserves presented above represent the fair market value of the reserves. The recovery and reserve estimates of the Company's oil, NGL, and natural gas reserves provided herein are estimates only and there is no guarantee that the estimated reserves will be recovered. Further there is no assurance that the forecast prices and costs assumptions will be attained and variances could be material.

Where amounts are expressed on a barrel of oil equivalent (BOE) basis, natural gas volumes have been converted to barrels of oil on the basis of six thousand cubic feet (mcf) per barrel (bbl). BOE figures may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion of six thousand cubic feet per barrel is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6 mcf: 1 bbl, using a conversion on a 6 mcf: 1 bbl basis may be misleading as an indication of value. References to oil in this discussion include crude oil and natural gas liquids (NGLs).
