Tuscany Energy Ltd. announces financial and operating results for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2008

(TSXV: "TUS")

CALGARY, Aug. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Tuscany is pleased to report on its
operations and financial results for the three and six months ended June 30,
2008.
Production from the new well in the Wildwood area, increased production from
the Saskatchewan properties and increased prices for both oil and natural gas
combined to result in increased cash flow and earnings, as well as reduced
debt levels. Reduced general and administrative expenses, stronger production,
a management change and an exploration and development program planned for the
fall should provide excellent results for the remainder of the year and into
2009.

in 2007. The Company reported cash flow from operations of $905,000 compared
with a cash flow deficiency of $62,000 for the comparative period in 2007.
Tuscany's net earnings also increased to $178,000 versus a net loss of
$377,000 for the same period in 2007.
The Company's net debt totaled $2.4 million as at June 30, 2008 compared with
$3.3 million as at June 30, 2007.

Exploration and Development

Tuscany's new well at Wildwood (30% working interest) commenced production in
January 2008 and the well continues to produce at excellent rates. Tuscany has
acquired additional land in the area to expand the play and purchased 2-D
trade seismic data in addition to the acquisition of proprietary 2-D seismic.
Additional exploration and development prospects in the area are being
investigated, some of which could be drilled later this year.
In the Evesham and Macklin areas of Saskatchewan, remedial work on the
producing heavy oil well in the second quarter of 2008 has resulted in
increased production. Further optimization of surface facilities and some
additional down-hole work is planned for the fall to maximize production and
reduce both operating and long-term capital costs.
In the same area, the Company is investigating the possibility of drilling a
horizontal well into a new formation which is producing from nearby fields and
has been mapped over our 100% working interest acreage.

Business Outlook

Although energy commodity prices have declined somewhat in the past weeks,
management remains optimistic that the relatively higher prices and solid
production base, coupled with careful cash management, will provide the
Company the opportunity to continue to improve its financial position. Growth
will come from optimization of existing reserves and exploration and
development of new opportunities.
