Eternal Energy Corp. Announces Working Interest Exchange

LITTLETON, Colo., June 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Eternal Energy Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: EERG; "Eternal", or the "Company") announced that it has entered into an agreement with American Eagle Energy, Inc. ("AEE") to exchange 50% of its working interest in approximately 4,320 acres located in southeastern Saskatchewan (the "Hardy Prospect"), and an existing, shut-in well bore, for a 50% working interest in approximately 6,239 net acres located in Divide County, North Dakota (the "Spyglass Prospect").  The transaction is expected to close on June 25, 2010.  Eternal and AEE have further agreed to execute an operating agreement in the next 30 days, under which Eternal will manage and oversee all future exploration and production activities for both the Hardy and Spyglass Prospects.  

"We are pleased to announce our alliance with American Eagle Energy, as well as our newly acquired interest in Divide County," stated Brad Colby, Eternal's President and CEO.  "The exchange of a portion of our working interest in the Hardy Prospect for a working interest in the Spyglass not only diversifies our holdings, but also partners us with an entity that is like-minded with respect to the exploration of the Bakken and Three-Forks formations in North Dakota.  We hope to announce plans either to re-enter the existing well or drill a new, exploratory well in the Hardy Prospect, as well as plans to drill an exploitation well in the Spyglass prospect, in the near future."
