Sentry Petroleum Secures land Access for Drilling Appraisal Program

Denver, Colorado (May 6, 2011 - FSC) Sentry Petroleum Ltd. (OTCBB:SPLM) is pleased to announce that the Company has reached agreements with all necessary land owners for the company’s upcoming drilling appraisal program in Queensland, Australia. The agreements stipulate fixed compensation for each well drilled on the respective landowner’s property and is not royalty linked to potential resources or production. With these agreements in place Sentry has passed a major milestone in the appraisal program of the potential 2,000 square mile coal seam and shale gas deposit in ATP 862 and ATP 864. The Company expects to finalize drilling contracts and announce a commencement date for the drilling appraisal program during the next couple of weeks.

A company spokesman commented on the agreements: “We are delighted with the results of our negotiations with the land owners. These agreements form a solid foundation for developing strong long term relationships with the people who have made this area their home or earn their living from.”

Cautionary Note: The Company cautions that the estimated quantities of coal and carbonaceous shale disclosed in this press release represent an estimate of the potential of the noted permit areas based strictly on a review of technical data that is publicly available and are not intended to be construed in any manner as an estimate of any classification of reserves. Further appraisal is required before any estimated classification of reserves can be compiled. The Company’s upcoming appraisal drilling campaign is being undertaken in order to build the necessary data to be able to compile an estimate of reserves and make a later determination as to whether any noted reserves can be produced economically. There is risk that our upcoming appraisal drilling campaign will not be able to confirm the Company’s findings from its review of publicly available technical data.
