CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Sept. 25, 2012) - Further to the Company's press release of July 24, 2012, Parkland (TSX VENTURE:PKE) has been advised by the TSX Venture Exchange that the shares of Company are scheduled to be reinstated to trading effective the opening Wednesday, September 26, 2012.

Parkland is pleased to announce that Shawn Woitas has been appointed Director of Parkland Energy Services Inc. effective October 1, 2012, subject to Exchange approval. Mr. Woitas has over 20 years of experience in the production aspect of the Alberta oilfield industry. He is currently a production consultant in the oilfield under his own name throughout Central Alberta and will bring extensive knowledge to Parkland's Board of Directors in this regards. Parkland recently has restructured its resources to focus on the production of oil & gas through non-operational working interests in the U.S.A. and Mr. Woitas' vast knowledge surrounding oil & gas production will be a valuable addition to Parkland's Board of Directors.

Subsequent to the Press Releases filed on April 4, 18 and August 1, 2012, Parkland is still in legal proceedings with Univalor Trust SA. The Company has approached Univalor to begin informal negotiations but has not resulted as of yet in any formal agreement or action on either party's part. Parkland is hopeful that the informal talks could lead to sort of resolution without having to go to court. There has been no action taken on either side since July 4, 2012.

Parkland is a company based in Red Deer, Alberta which holds non-operational working interests in foreign oil wells. The company's common shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange and trade under the symbol "PKE".
