CALGARY, ALBERTA - TG World Energy Corp.

(TSX-V: TGE) ("TG World" or the "Company") has been advised by the Operator of the T�n�r� Block in Niger, Africa, CNPC International (T�n�r�) Ltd.

("CNPCIT" or the "Operator"), a unit of the China National Petroleum Company, that the Security Warning that has prevented any drilling in the T�n�r� Block for the past two years has been lifted.
In recent press, it has been reported that "The President, Chief of State, his Excellency Monsieur Mamadou Tandja signed a decree putting an end to the warning in the Agadez region..

The terms of the decree put an end to the warning for the region of Agadez effective November 27, 2009".
Cliff James, President and CEO of TG World, commented that "TG World is pleased to learn that the security warning has finally been lifted, which will permit operations, including drilling, to resume.

Our project operator has continued to drill and make discoveries on lands they hold in the prolific Agadem Block located to the south of the T�n�r� Block.

We are very encouraged by CNPCITs success in the Agadem Block and hope that this success continues into our northern rift basin Block with the drilling of our next well."
In November 2007, the drilling program of CNPCIT and TG World was delayed due to the security warning that was imposed in the area.

TG World is to be carried for a third drilling location in the T�n�r� Block.

At the time of the security warning, the partners had intended to drill Facai - 1, to a depth of 3,700 metres, to test a new Cretaceous Play.

The proposed well location is 100 km north of the two 2007 wells drilled on the T�n�r� Block and is situated in the Northeast sector of the T�n�r� Rift Basin.
TG World is awaiting further news from CNPCIT with regards to when and where the next well will be drilled.

Further information will be released by TG World, subsequent to receiving such details.
