3P International Energy Corp. Court Action

TORONTO, ONTARIO — (Marketwire) — 09/16/11 — 3P International Energy Corp. (the “Company” or “3P”) (TSX VENTURE: DOH) announced that on September 15, 2011 it has initiated an action against DLE Investments Inc., David DesLauriers, Michael DesLauriers and certain other parties alleging, among other matters, breaches of fiduciary, statutory, contractual and common law duties owed to 3P. The Company also applied for an interim injunction to restrain the transfer of 225,000 3P shares by one of the defendants to DLE Investments.

The Company was unsuccessful in its request for an injunction. In its decision, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice stated that although it agreed that for the purposes of the motion there was a serious question to be tried, it had not been persuaded as to the necessity for injunctive relief, holding that damages could be ascertained.

The Company will be continuing with its lawsuit, including its claim for damages.
