CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Nov. 28, 2016) - Traverse Energy Ltd.

The Corporation intends to use the proceeds from the issuance of the Flow-Through Shares to fund a portion of its exploration activities in the province of Alberta and from the issuance of the Common Shares for general corporate purposes.
