Caspian Energy, Inc. : PR Feb 11, 2013 - Caspian Signs up an Agreement with Asia Sixth

CALGARY - February 11, 2013 - Following the announcement of a two-year extension of the North Block's Exploration License last month, Caspian Energy Inc. (the "Company" or "CEK") (TSX: CEK) is delighted to report that on February 7, the Company has signed an Agreement with Asia Sixth Energy Resources Limited ("Asia Sixth") to apply outside consultant Mr. Roger Nutt's advice as to the best method of completing the wells within the prevailing rock strata.

Within this important Agreement, Asia Sixth has committed to undertake and to finance the re- completion of two wells initially. The necessary applications with regard to these two wells have already been lodged with a view to commencing operations in Well 316, specifically, by mid- April with the results expected to become apparent in early May. Well 316 has already been drilled and this re-completion program will involve making new perforations in five main target areas. The testing of each target area will be done in sequence and the application requests that

180 days be granted for the testing of all five target areas. Therefore, we anticipate that the full results of the testing in all target areas will be known between early May and September.

The Company has received a letter from the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX"), which states that the "listing of CEK's shares on the main board of the TSX is under review with respect to meeting continued listing requirements". The Company has been granted 90 days in which to regain compliance with these listing requirements, pursuant to the TSX's remedial review process. It is the Company's opinion that if Mr. Nutt's views are confirmed, the effect on oil production and the Company's financial position will be dramatic and it will ease the task of addressing the concerns of the TSX.

The Company will also draw upon the second tranche, of the original Loan Agreement, which constitutes part of the agreed Foundation Agreement with Asia Sixth. As per this Loan Agreement, Asia Sixth has agreed to extend a total of USD 6,000,000 over three tranches; the third and final tranche being available at the end of this calendar year.
