Portrush Petroleum Corporation (TSX- V :PSH, OTCBB: PRRPF) (http://www.portrushpetroleum.com)

Portrush Petroleum Corporation is a junior oil and natural gas exploration and production company. The Company is focused on its core properties: the Lenox project, located in the Michigan Basin, Michigan, the Mission River project, situated in Refugio and Goliad Counties, Gulf Coast, Texas and the Waubuno property in Southwestern Ontario.

The Mission River lease is operated by McAlester and is located at the south end of the town of Refugio, Refugio County, Texas. The field has multiple pays at depths ranging from 2,000 to 8,500 feet. Portrush has a 10% working interest in the field. To date fourteen wells have been drilled and all have been placed on production.

Portrush has commissioned a Calgary based Petrophysical Consulting firm to conduct a detailed evaluation on the Moore 6-12-III #2 well on its Waubuno property in Moore (St. Clair) Township, Lambton County, Southwestern Ontario which was drilled late last year. The evaluation is based on log evaluation and an oil show observed during drilling at the top of the main potentially productive porosity interval. The results are considered preliminary until such time as the well is placed on production. The Company holds a 65% WI in the project. For further information see the press release dated January 15th 2009.
