TG World Provides Update On Alaska Well




[TSX-V: TGE] February 18, 2010
TG WORLD PROVIDES UPDATE ON ALASKA WELL
CALGARY, ALBERTA - TG World Energy Corp.

(TSX-V: TGE) ("TG World" or the "Company") announced today that Brooks Range Petroleum Corp.

("BRPC"), the operator of the Alaska North Slope Joint Venture ("JV") and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Alaska Venture Capital Group, has advised that it proposes to conduct a production flow test on the Sak River #1a exploration well.

The Sak River #1a well is located within the Beechey Point Unit where the JV has two existing undeveloped oil discoveries.
BRPC has informed the participants in the JV that the Sak River #1a well reached a total measured drill depth of 12,726 feet (9,350 feet subsea on a true vertical depth basis ("tvd")), stopping within the Miluveach formation, and that porous sandstones with hydrocarbon shows were encountered in the Kuparuk formation at a depth of approximately 8,900 feet subsea tvd.

According to BRPC, its initial interpretation of the borehole log data across the Kuparuk formation suggests a possible oil-bearing zone without an oil/water contact.

Attempts to capture fluid samples from the Kuparuk with a Modular Formation Dynamics Tester borehole tool were unsuccessful due to tool failure.

BRPC has advised that it is unable, at this time, to determine if there is moveable light oil in the zone and that the next operation is to case the well and production flow test the potential oil pay zone.

Additional testing of the Sak River #1a exploration well is required to determine whether the well represents an oil discovery and there can be no assurance that the well will be capable of commercial production of petroleum substances.


TG World is paying 45.7% of the well costs to participate for its 35% working interest.
