PRESS RELEASE
LUKE ENERGY — FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

Calgary, Alberta: Luke Energy Ltd. announces its initial quarterly report to shareholders for the period ended March 31, 2003. This covers the Company’s first 34 days of operations from February 26th to March 31st, 2003.

Luke Energy was created in connection with the sale of KeyWest Energy Corporation (our former company) to Viking Energy Royalty Trust. In addition to the sale consideration that shareholders received from Viking, they also received one share of Luke Energy for every 10 KeyWest shares held — thus creating a shareholder base for Luke Energy. As part of the sale arrangement, Viking rolled 160 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd) of production into Luke Energy and also transferred a 100% interest in 11,720 acres of undeveloped land. As a result Luke Energy qualified for a Toronto Stock Exchange listing.

Two private placements were completed subsequent to the formation of Luke Energy. In the initial financing, a total of 1.65 million shares were issued at 81¢ and a major financing followed with the sale of 24.8 million special warrants at $1.45 each (subsequently converted into Luke Energy shares on a “one for one” basis) for net proceeds after commission of $34 million. Luke thus begins its corporate life with 33.05 million shares outstanding, cash of $35 million, no debt, production of 160 boepd and 11,720 acres of undeveloped land.

People are a key ingredient to the success of any new venture. The senior executives have worked together for over 20 years and are reunited again in their fourth start-up — Harold Pedersen, Chairman & CFO, Mary C. Blue, President & COO, and Garry West, Senior Vice-President of Engineering. We have assembled a strong management group which comprises Rob Wollmann, Vice-President of Exploration, Carrie McLauchlin, Vice-President Finance & CFO and David Lewis, Vice-President of Land. In addition, Darwyn Miles is Manager of Engineering and Ruth DeGama is Manager of Production Services.

Our business plan for Luke Energy will employ the same strategies we’ve successfully used in the past. Our focus will be in western Canada and we will grow through a combination of mergers and acquisitions, exploitation drilling and low-risk exploration.
