OQI Sask is the borrower under the Credit Facility and the Company provided a secured guarantee. The Credit Facility is a non-revolving facility providing for up to Cdn. $30 million by way of Prime Rate Loans at the prime rate and Bankers’ Acceptances at the applicable discount rate plus 50 basis points. Any amount drawn on the facility will be repayable at maturity on October 31, 2007.

The total consideration paid, which includes the permit rental costs for the first year, to the Alberta government for the permits purchased in the March 21, 2007 land sale was US$21,657,699 ($25,075,488 Cdn).

NEWS RELEASE
DATE: March 22, 2007
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Oilsands Quest successfully acquires lands in Alberta contiguous to its Axe Lake Discovery
Calgary, Alberta — Oilsands Quest Inc. (Amex: BQI) announces the company has added four blocks of oil sands exploration permits in Alberta totaling 27,136 hectares (67,053 acres), as the result of successful bids at recent Alberta land sales. The permits are located directly west and contiguous to Oilsands Quest’s Axe Lake Discovery lands on its oil sands permits in Saskatchewan. The total consideration paid, which includes the permit rental costs for the first year, to the Alberta government for the permits purchased in the March 21, 2007 land sale was US$21,657,699 ($25,075,488 Cdn).
“We are extremely pleased with the successful conclusion of our bids,” said Christopher H. Hopkins, President & Chief Executive Officer of Oilsands Quest. “In addition to what our drilling program is proving on our Axe Lake Discovery lands in Saskatchewan, seismic surveys that we conducted over lands on both sides of the Alberta/Saskatchewan border earlier this winter strongly supported the acquisition of these parcels.”
