("Gallic" or "Company") (TSX VENTURE:GLC) announces that it intends to change from its current snubbing unit to a drilling rig on its Ossun-2 well located in the Aquitaine Basin in Southern France. The Ossun-2 well is a re-entry of an old Total SA wellbore previously drilled in the late 1960's. On January 10, 2012, the Company announced that it had spud the re-entry of Ossun-2. Operations to drill out the cement plug and to splice the 9 5/8 inch intermediate casing back to the surface were successful.

A sidetrack well will also allow Gallic to reach additional potential hydrocarbon bearing zones that could not be reached with the original cased-hole re-entry operations.
