TG World Energy Corp. (TSX-V:TGE) (“TG World” or the “Company”) today announced that the Operator of the Alaska Central North Slope exploration program, Brooks Range Petroleum Corporation (“BRPC” or the “Operator”), has completed the acquisition of 5,120 acres of Alaska State petroleum leases on behalf of the Alaska Joint Venture involving BRPC and the Company ("JV"). The acquisition of these leases was completed on June 6, 2008.

The leases were acquired from the Pioneer Natural Resources Alaska, Inc., which previously held a 100% undivided interest over the applicable lands. The leases are located approximately three miles north of the Prudhoe Bay oil field and are contiguous with the JV's existing 45,598 acres of Gwydyr Bay Prospect leases. All of the newly acquired leases are located within the area covered by the JV’s proprietary 2007 3-D seismic survey. TG World has a 35% working interest in the Gwydyr Bay Prospect area.

The leases include the Pete’s Wicked oil discovery. The Pete’s Wicked #1 exploration well was drilled by BP Exploration Alaska in 1997 and was reported to be an indicated oil discovery in the Ivishak formation. A 60 foot oil column above an oil/water contact has been interpreted by the Alaska JV Operator from well log data. Oil was also reportedly encountered while drilling through the overlying Sag River Formation, although well logging was incomplete over this zone. The well was plugged and abandoned without production testing of the oil zones.

Certain information set out in this News Release is forward-looking, being information concerning the timing of commencement of drilling of a proposed third exploration well on the Ténéré Block in Niger. Readers should review the cautionary statement respecting forward-looking information that appears at the end of this News Release.

Corporate Profile

TG World is a Calgary-based, junior international oil and gas exploration company. On March 18, 2006, TG World Energy Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of TG World, entered into a major exploration project through the formation of a joint venture with Brooks Range Petroleum Corporation. The BRPC / TG World Joint Venture was formed as an exploration strategic alliance covering a large area of mutual interest on the Alaskan Central North Slope. The Company’s indirect interest in the Alaska Joint Venture includes a 25 – 35% working interest in approximately 324,000 gross acres of lease lands and an Area of Mutual Interest under which additional lands may be acquired.

Through a wholly-owned subsidiary, TG World holds a 20% carried interest in the Ténéré Block, an oil and gas concession in the Republic of Niger, Africa, measuring 71,155 square kilometres (17.3 million acres). The Ténéré Block contains the northern half of the Termit - Ténéré Rift. The southern half is adjacent to the Agadem Block, where six oil discoveries and one gas discovery have been announced. CNPCIT, a unit of CNPC, holds the other 80% of the Ténéré concession and acts as operator of the project. The first two wells to test the Ténéré Block, Saha-1 and Fachi West-1 (drilled in 2007), were dry holes. The third exploration well, named Facai-1, is expected to be spud in the latter half of 2008.
