Cub Energy Announces North Makeevskoye-4 Commences Drilling

Houston, Texas – June 18, 2014 – Cub Energy Inc. (“Cub” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: KUB) announces that the North Makeevskoye-4 (“NM-4”) exploration well commenced drilling on June 16, 2014. NM-4 is operated by KUB-Gas LLC (“KUB-Gas”), a partially-owned subsidiary in which Cub has a 30% effective ownership interest through its 30% shareholding of KUBGAS Holdings Limited (“KUB Holdings”).

NM-4 is located approximately 3 kilometres west of the NM-3 well drilled in July 2013. It is a combination structural/stratigraphic play targeting Moscovian aged channel sands, defined from amplitude anomalies observed on 3D seismic data. The NM-4 prospect is estimated to have 1 Bcf of prospective resources (best estimate) by the Company’s independent third party evaluator (as of December 31, 2013). The planned total depth is 2,000 metres and the well is expected to take 41 days to drill.

If NM-4 is successful, it will strengthen the chances of success on two more fault blocks within the same channel system, and could open up a new exploration fairway within the Olgovskoye, Makeevskoye and North Makeevskoye licences.

North Makeevskoye Licence

North Makeevskoye is the largest of the five licences in which Cub participates through its working interest in KUB-Gas. It does not yet have production, but the NM-3 well drilled in 2013 tested small amounts of oil from the Visean section. A stimulation is planned for later this year to try to achieve a commercial flow rate.

Further Dividends from KUB Holdings

KUB Holdings has declared dividends of approximately $12.6 million ($3.8 million net to Cub) year-to-date in 2014, including $9.2 million ($2.8 million net to Cub) so far in the second quarter.

Mikhail Afendikov, Cub’s Chief Executive Officer said, “These dividends reflect the continued success of operations in eastern Ukraine -- without interruption -- despite the isolated political violence ongoing in the eastern region of the country.”

The proceeds of the dividends are continuing to fund the Company’s exploration and development efforts in western Ukraine – namely, Cub’s 100%-owned Rusko-Komarovske (“RK”) licence and for general working capital.

be correct. We cannot guarantee future results, performance or achievements. Consequently,

there is no representation that the actual results achieved will be the same, in whole or in part, as

those set out in the forward-looking information. Prospective resources are those quantities of

petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from undiscovered

accumulations by application of future development projects. Prospective resources have both an

associated chance of discovery and a chance of development. There is no certainty that it will be

commercially viable to produce any portion of the prospective resources.

Forward-looking information is based on the opinions and estimates of management at the date

the statements are made, and are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other factors

information. Some of the risks and other factors that could cause the results to differ

materially from those expressed in the forward-looking information include, but are not limited to:

general economic conditions in Ukraine, the Black Sea Region and globally; industry conditions,

including fluctuations in the prices of natural gas; governmental regulation of the natural gas

industry, including environmental regulation; unanticipated operating events or performance

which can reduce production or cause production to be shut in or delayed; failure to obtain

industry partner and other third party consents and approvals, if and when required; competition

for and/or inability to retain drilling rigs and other services; the availability of capital on acceptable

terms; the need to obtain required approvals from regulatory authorities; stock market volatility;

volatility in market prices for natural gas; liabilities inherent in natural gas operations; competition

for, among other things, capital, acquisitions of reserves, undeveloped lands, skilled personnel

and supplies; incorrect assessments of the value of acquisitions; geological, technical, drilling,

processing and transportation problems; changes in tax laws and incentive programs relating to

the natural gas industry; failure to realise the anticipated benefits of acquisitions and dispositions;

and the other factors. Readers are cautioned that this list of risk factors should not be construed
