FYI Galena Capital Corp

Galena Capital Corp. (TSX VENTURE:FYI) (the "Company") is pleased to announce
that it has entered into a definitive Participation Agreement with Arbol Energy
("Arbol"), a private Houston based oil and gas company, governing Arbol's
Matagorda Bay, Texas Prospect.


The Participation Agreement provides Galena with a 23% Working Interest (23%
Working Interest Before Payout, 17.25% Working Interest After Payout) in the
1280 acres covering Texas State Blocks 127, the south half of Block 150 and the
north half of Block 151, and includes 3 existing well bores, an existing 7 mile
pipeline to shore and an onshore oil/gas handling facility.


Under the terms of the Participation Agreement, Galena will pay 23% of lease
acquisition, geological and geophysical costs ($650,000 gross, or $150,000 net
to Galena) and 23% of any costs associated with re-completion of the existing
well bores.


A key component of this acquisition is the existence of a fully drilled, cored,
logged, cased and shut-in well bore (the 127-1) in Block 127. The 127-1 well has
multiple pay zones indicated on logs and cores and is expected to be initially
completed in the Bol Mex (8560 - 8710' depth) section of the Lower Frio.
Internal analysis of the logs and cores of the Bol Mex zone indicate
approximately 115 feet of expected oil pay. The reservoir is estimated to cover
a minimum of 350 acres with potential up to 750 acres. 


Completion planning has already begun with Operating Partner South Bay
Resources, and on-site operations are expected to commence within the next 2
months.


Costs associated with the re-entry, perforation and testing of the 127-1 well
are expected to be approximately $1,200,000 (approximately $276,000 net to
Galena).


An additional 200 plus feet of apparent net pay are evident in the logs and
cores, and upon successful completion of the Bol Mex interval the company will
target these additional zones for future completions.


Arni Johannson, Chairman states, "This acquisition of a low cost, low risk,
asset provides an ideal profile for Galena as we move into the Oil and Gas
sector." Galena is moving its strategic focus from strictly mining into hydro
carbons. The Matagorda bay project is complementary to our proposed bitumen
project which is currently in the due diligence phase.

Although Galena believes that the expectations and assumptions on which the
forward-looking statements are based reasonable, undue reliance should not be
placed on the forward-looking statements because Galena can give no assurance
that they will prove to be correct. Since forward looking statements address
future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks
and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those currently
anticipated due to a number of factors and risks. These include, but are not
limited to, the failure to obtain necessary regulatory approvals, risks
associated with the oil and gas industry in general (e.g., operational risks in
development, exploration and production; delays or changes in plans with respect
to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures; the uncertainty
of reserve estimates; the uncertainty of estimates and projections relating to
production, costs and expenses, and health, safety and environmental risks), and
commodity price, interest rate and exchange rate fluctuations. The
forward-looking statements contained in this document are made as of the date
hereof and Galena undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any
forward-looking statements or information, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise, unless so required by applicable
securities laws.
