Blue Horizon Announces Sale of Working Interest in Waskahigan Oil Property and Cancellation of Bruderheim Lease

RED DEER, ALBERTA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/04/13 -- Blue Horizon Industries Inc. ("Blue Horizon" or the "Corporation") (CNSX:BH) announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary, Blue Horizon Energy Inc ("BH Energy"), has sold the balance of its 5% working interest in the Waskahigan oil assets (the "Working Interest") to an arm's length third party (the "Purchaser"). The Corporation received $122,500 cash as consideration for the Working Interest.

Originally, BH Energy held a 15% undivided working interest, and on June 8th, 2012 through October 31, 2012, the Purchaser acquired 10% of the working interest with an option granted to the Purchaser to acquire the remaining 5% working interest. Pursuant to the terms of such option, which terms were amended by mutual agreement between the parties, the Purchaser has now exercised its right to purchase the remaining 5% interest.

As a result of this latest disposition, BH Energy ceased all operations on the Waskahigan well on January 29, 2013, in addition to ceasing operations on the Normandville well on January 21, 2013.

BH Energy, has also terminated the Bruderheim lease agreement. In order to be closer to the feed stock, BH Energy is seeking a joint venture with a municipality transfer site in lieu of the Bruderheim lease agreement. There are no penalties incurred with respect to cancellation of the lease agreement.
