Strata Oil & Gas Inc ("Strata") (OTCQB: SOIGF), is pleased to report that the company's Board of Directors has unanimously approved the allocation of up to $10 million of the company's capital plan towards proving up the known resource of its 100% owned Cadotte West Project in the Peace River Oil Sands area of Alberta, Canada.

Strata's $250 million capital plan to develop its Cadotte Main Project is expected to result in commercial production of up to 56,000 barrels a day by 2017.

"We've decided to expand the scale and scope of the Cadotte project to include an aggressive resource development plan for the western leases," stated Ron Daems, President and CEO of Strata. "We've done this because we believe there is the potential to dramatically increase Strata's Contingent Resource, well beyond the 517 million recoverable barrels it is currently at. We believe the western leases could greatly expand our world-class Cadotte Project, which is why we've approved this revision to our capital plan."

Strata Oil & Gas Inc. is a Canadian junior exploration company focused on carbonate-hosted bitumen deposits in the Peace River area of Alberta, Canada.
