TG World Secures US$6.0 Million Debt Facilities
CALGARY, ALBERTA - TG World Energy Corp.

(TSX-V: TGE) ("TG World" or the "Company") announces that it has closed two loan facilities for a total of US$6.0 million with LIM Asia Special Situations Master Fund Limited ("LIM").
The US$6.0 million will be drawn down in two equal tranches on August 30, 2010 and in September 2010.


The first facility is a 9-month, US$1.0 million bridge financing with an interest rate of 18% and is secured by funds due to TG World from the State of Alaskas Petroleum Production Tax Credit program.

The proceeds from the bridge financing facility will be used to repay the remaining amount due on the Secured Loan Facility TG World entered into with an institutional lender on January 18, 2010.


The second facility is an 18-month, US$5.0 million secured debt financing with an interest rate of 16% and is secured by the assets of the Company.

This facility is repayable in part or full at any time over the 18-month term, subject to certain prepayment penalties.

The proceeds from the secured debt facility will be used to fund ongoing exploration and production in TG Worlds areas of operation.


In connection with the drawdowns of the secured debt facility, TG World will issue to LIM common share purchase warrants that allow for the purchase of up to 12 million common shares of TG World (4 million on August 30, 2010 and 8 million in September 2010).
