Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 30, 2010, Triangle Petroleum Corporation (the “Company”) priced a private offering (the “Private Offering”) of shares of its common stock (“Common Shares”) and entered into subscription and registration rights agreements with certain accredited investors for the private placement of 2,044,187 newly-issued Common Shares at a purchase price of $0.43 per share, with net proceeds expected to be approximately $836,000.  Under the subscription and registration rights agreements, subject to certain restrictions and limitations, the Company agreed to permit investors to include Common Shares purchased in the Private Offering in any registration statement filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) (other than on Forms S-4 or S-8) within 6 months of the closing of the Private Offering to register Common Shares for the Company’s own account or for the account of any other stockholder.

The foregoing description of the subscription and registration rights agreements is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the form of such agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.02.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

As described in Item 1.01 above, the Company will sell the Common Shares in the Private Offering pursuant to the provisions of the subscription and registration rights agreements into which it has entered with accredited investors.  The Common Shares are being offered and sold in reliance on the private placement exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Regulation D promulgated thereunder (“Regulation D”).  The Company has relied on this exemption based on applicable facts, including that (i) the offers and sales were made to a limited number of persons, all of whom represented that they are “accredited investors” (as such term is defined in Regulation D), (ii) no general solicitation or advertising having been used in connection with the Private Offering and sale of the Common Shares and (iii) the investors’ representations that they are acquiring the Common Shares for investment only.

The Common Shares are not registered under the Securities Act, and therefore may not be offered or sold absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration.  This is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any security, nor is this an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any security in any jurisdiction in which such offer or sale would be unlawful.

Item 8.01.  Other Events.

In connection with the Private Offering, the Company disclosed non-public information to potential investors in a confidential private placement memorandum.  The persons who received these materials were subject to nondisclosure obligations prior to this disclosure.  Excerpts of the non-public portions of the confidential private placement memorandum are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

Because not all of the information contained in the confidential private placement memorandum is included in this Report, certain cross references and defined terms may not appear in Exhibit 99.1.

The Company makes no admission as to the materiality of any information in this Report pursuant to Item 8.01, including Exhibit 99.1, or that any such information includes material investor information that is not otherwise publicly available.

The information filed in this Report pursuant to Item 8.01, including the information contained in Exhibit 99.1, is summary information that is intended to be considered in the context of the Company’s SEC filings and other public announcements that the Company may make, by press release or otherwise, from time to time. The Company disclaims any current intention to revise or update the information filed in this Report pursuant to Item 8.01, including the information contained in Exhibit 99.1, although the Company may do so from time to time as its management believes is warranted.  Any such updating may be made through the furnishing or filing of other reports or documents with the SEC, through press releases or through other public disclosure.  The information filed in this Report pursuant to Item 8.01, including the information contained in Exhibit 99.1, is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the shares of common stock in the Private Offering.

A copy of the press release announcing the pricing of the Common Shares in the Private Offering is filed and attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2, and incorporated herein by reference.

(the “Agent”) and co-placement agents Canaccord Genuity and Pritchard Capital Partners, LLC (the “Offering”); and

(b) the Offering is not subject to any minimum subscription level, and therefore, any funds invested are available to the Corporation and will be paid to the Corporation on the Closing Date.

(a) “1933 Act” means the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Registration Rights

4.      If the Corporation proposes to publicly sell or register for sale any of its Common Shares for its own account or for the account of any stockholder of the Corporation (other than in connection with the repurchase, redemption, acquisition or retirement of capital stock of the Corporation) pursuant to a registration statement under the 1933 Act (other than a registration statement on Form S-8 or on Form S-4 or any similar successor forms thereto) on or before the six month anniversary of the closing of the Offering  (a “Piggyback Registration”), the Corporation shall give written notice to the Subscriber of its intention to effect such sale or registration at least 15 days prior the effectiveness of such Registration Statement and, subject to Section 5, shall include in such transaction all Registrable Shares with respect to which the Corporation has received a written request from the Subscriber for inclusion therein within 5 days after the receipt of the Corporation’s notice.  The failure of the Subscriber to respond to such notice shall be deemed a waiver of the Subscriber’s rights to participate in the proposed Piggyback Registration.  The Corporation shall have no obligation to offer the Subscriber the right to participate in more than one Piggyback Registration for which the related Registration Statement becomes effective; provided, however, if the number of Registrable Shares included in the Registration Statement is cutback pursuant to Section 5 below, the Corporation shall be required to allow the Subscriber to participate in such additional Piggyback Registrations during such six month period as is necessary to include all of the Registrable Shares.  The Corporation may postpone or withdraw the filing or the effectiveness of a Piggyback Registration at any time in its sole discretion.

2

5.      If a Piggyback Registration is initiated as an underwritten offering, and the managing underwriter advises the Corporation that in its good faith opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number that can be sold in such offering without having a material adverse effect on such offering, including the price at which such securities can be sold, then the Corporation shall include in such registration the maximum number of shares that such underwriter advises can be so sold without having such effect, allocated (i) first, to the securities the Corporation proposes to sell, (ii) second, pro rata among the subscribers who purchased shares of common stock in the Corporation in the private offering which closed on March 16, 2010 (the “March Offering”) based on the number of Registrable Shares (as defined in the subscription and registration rights agreements entered into in connection with the March Offering) requested to be included by each such subscriber, (iii) third, pro rata among the Subscriber and the other subscribers purchasing shares of Common Stock in the Offering based upon the number of Registrable Shares requested to be included by the Subscriber and each other subscriber, and (iii) fourth, among other securities requested to be included in such registration by other security holders of the Corporation on such basis as such holders may agree among themselves and the Corporation.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the subscribers described in clause (ii) above shall not have any piggyback registration rights with respect to the shares purchased in the March Offering after the expiration of such rights in accordance with the terms of the subscription and registration rights agreements entered into in connection with the March Offering.

6.      In connection with the registration and sale of Registrable Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, the Corporation shall:

(a) a reasonable time before filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto (including any prospectus supplement for a shelf takedown) in which the Subscriber is named, furnish to the Subscriber copies of such Registration Statement or Prospectus or supplement thereto (including any prospectus supplement for a shelf takedown) proposed to be filed, and the Subscriber shall have the opportunity to review and comment thereon, and the Corporation shall consider such changes in good faith prior to filing any such document;

(b) furnish to the Subscriber such number of copies of such Prospectus (including each preliminary Prospectus and Prospectus supplement) and such other documents as the Subscriber may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Shares, provided, however, that the Corporation shall have no such obligation to furnish copies of a final Prospectus if the conditions of Rule 172(c) under the 1933 Act are satisfied by the Corporation;

(c) use commercially reasonable best efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Shares under such other securities or blue sky laws of U.S. federal or state jurisdictions as the Subscriber reasonably requests and do any and all other acts and things that may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the Subscriber to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Shares (provided, that the Corporation will not be required to (1) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 6(c), (2) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (3) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction);

(d) notify the Subscriber, at any time when a Prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act, of the occurrence of any event as a result of which any Prospectus contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;

(e) make available for inspection by the Subscriber, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Subscriber, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Corporation, and cause the Corporation’s officers, directors, employees and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by the Subscriber, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such Registration Statement;

(f) promptly notify the Subscriber:

(i) when the Registration Statement, any pre-effective amendment, the Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement has been filed and, with respect to the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective;

(ii) of any written request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or any Prospectus or of any inquiry by the SEC relating to the Registration Statement;

(iii) of the notification to the Corporation by the SEC of its initiation of any proceeding with respect to the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement; and

(iv) of the receipt by the Corporation of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Shares for sale under the applicable securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction;

(g) during the period when the Prospectus is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act, use its reasonable best efforts to promptly file all documents required to be filed with the SEC, including pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14, or 15(d) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; and

3

(h) otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC as in effect from time to time.

7.      The Corporation shall not, from the date of this Subscription Agreement until after the six month anniversary of the closing of the Offering, grant any registration rights which conflict with or impair, or have any priority over, the registration rights granted hereby.

8.      The Corporation may require the Subscriber to furnish to the Corporation any other information regarding the Subscriber and the distribution of such securities as the Corporation reasonably determines is required to be included in any Registration Statement and the failure of Subscriber to provide such information shall be deemed to be a waiver of its right to participate in the Piggyback Registration.

9.      The Subscriber agrees that, upon notice from the Corporation of the happening of any event as a result of which the Prospectus included (or deemed included) in such Registration Statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (a “Suspension Notice”), the Subscriber will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Shares pursuant to such Registration Statement until the Subscriber is advised in writing by the Corporation that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed and is furnished with a supplemented or amended Prospectus.

10.     Except as provided below in this Section 10, the expenses incurred by the Corporation in connection with registration and filing fees, printing and delivery expenses, accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel to the Corporation, consultant and expert fees, premiums for liability insurance, if the Corporation chooses to obtain such insurance, obtained in connection with a Registration Statement filed to effect such compliance, and all expenses, including counsel fees, of complying with any state securities laws, shall be paid by the Corporation.  All fees and disbursements of any counsel, experts, or consultants employed by the Subscriber shall be borne by the Subscriber. The Subscriber agrees that any selling commissions or discounts payable to any underwriter or broker of securities to be sold by the Subscriber shall be borne by the Subscriber.  The obligations of the Corporation and the Subscriber for the expenses described in this Section 10 shall apply irrespective of whether any sales of Registrable Securities ultimately take place.

Option

11.     In the event that the Company desires to issue or sale in a private placement or registered public offering any shares of common stock or other equity securities of the Company on or before the six month anniversary of the closing of the Offering, the Subscriber shall have the option to purchase such shares of common stock or other equity securities from the Company in connection with and on the same terms as any such proposed issuance or sale in a pro rata proportion to the Subscriber’s fully diluted shares of common stock.  The “pro rata proportion” is the ratio of (a) the number of shares of outstanding common stock or other equity securities that the Subscriber owns before the issuance or sale, to (b) the total number of outstanding shares of common stock or other equity securities.  The timing of exercising such option, the terms of exercise and the timing of the closing of any purchase thereof shall be determined for each issuance or sale of shares of common stock or other equity securities by the board of directors of the Company in good faith and shall be conveyed to the Subscriber in writing in connection with the notice of such issuance or sale of shares of common stock or such other equity securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Subscriber shall not be entitled to any option with respect to the issuance or sale of common stock or other equity securities in connection with any merger or acquisition of another unaffiliated business or entity by the Company approved by the board of directors of the Company.

Representations, Warranties and Covenants by Subscriber

12.     The Subscriber (on its own behalf and, if applicable, on behalf of each person on whose behalf the Subscriber is contracting) represents, warrants and covenants to the Corporation and the Agent and their respective counsels (and acknowledges that the Corporation and the Agent and their respective counsels are relying thereon) that both at the date hereof and at the Closing Time (as defined in Section 21 herein):

(b) The Confidential Private Placement Memorandum of the Corporation dated July 28, 2010 (the “PPM”) and the documents listed on Exhibit 3 hereto (the “SEC Documents” and, together with the PPM, the “Disclosure Documents”) have been previously made available to or were accessible by Subscriber.  Other than the Disclosure Documents, Subscriber does not have any need to receive any offering memorandum, any prospectus, sales or advertising literature, or any other document describing or purporting to describe the business and affairs of the Corporation which has been prepared for delivery to, and review by, prospective purchasers in order to assist it in making an investment decision in respect of the Common Shares.

(c) Subscriber is, and at all times since the Subscriber received a copy of the Disclosure Documents, was, a resident of and was offered the Common Shares in the jurisdiction set forth as the “Subscriber’s Address” under its signature on the face page of this Subscription Agreement; if the state or province of his or her principal residence, or the state or province of its principal office or principal place of business, changes, or his, her or its address changes in any other respect, before the consummation of his, her or its purchase of the Common Shares subscribed for under this Subscription Agreement, he, she or it will promptly notify the Corporation, and if the change in the state or province of his or her principal residence, or its principal office or principal place of business, is to a state or province in which an offer and/or sale of the Common Shares is prohibited by applicable law, any offer to sell Common Shares to him, her or it made before notification of the change in the state or province of his or her principal residence, or its principal office or principal place of business, shall be deemed retracted and he, she or it shall cease to be entitled to purchase Common Shares pursuant to such offer.

(d) Subscriber acknowledges that:

(i) the Common Shares in this Offering have not been approved or disapproved by the SEC, the Ontario Securities Commission, any state or Canadian provincial securities commission or any other regulatory authority, nor has the SEC, the Ontario Securities Commission, any state or Canadian provincial securities commission or any other regulatory authority passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of any Disclosure Documents or any representations of the Corporation and any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense;

(ii) there is no government or other insurance covering the Common Shares;

(iii) the Common Shares are a speculative investment that involves a high degree of risk of loss of entire investment;

(iv) except as provided under Section 4, the Corporation has not undertaken, and will have no obligation, to register the transfer of any of the Common Shares under the 1933 Act or under Canadian Securities Laws; and

(v) except to the extent sold pursuant to a Piggyback Registration, the Common Shares shall not be resold until after the expiration of the applicable “restricted” period attaching to such Common Shares under all applicable securities laws, unless sold pursuant to an exemption under all applicable securities laws, and the certificates evidencing the Common Shares which it shall receive will bear a legend referring to such restrictions on resale and neither the Corporation nor any transfer agent of the Corporation will register any transfers of such Common Shares not made in compliance with such restrictions on resale.

(e) Subscriber is purchasing the Common Shares directly from the Corporation pursuant to Regulation D promulgated under the 1933 Act or pursuant to Canadian Securities Laws, and:

(i) This Subscription Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by and constitutes a legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the Subscriber, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies, and (iii) to the extent the indemnification provisions contained herein may be limited by applicable U.S. federal or state securities laws or Canadian Securities Laws;

(ii) Subscriber understands and acknowledges that the Common Shares have not been registered under the 1933 Act, any applicable state securities laws, or Canadian Securities Laws, and that the sale contemplated hereby is being made in reliance on:

(1) a private placement exemption to certain “accredited investors” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3), (5) or (7) of Regulation D under the 1933 Act (“U.S. Accredited Investors”) and similar exemptions under state law. Accordingly, the Common Shares will be “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, and therefore may not be offered or sold by it, directly or indirectly, in the United States without registration under United States federal and, if not preempted, state securities laws, except in compliance with Section 12(e)(v), and the Subscriber understands that the certificates representing the Common Shares issued to it will contain a legend in respect of such restrictions which is set out in (vi) below; or

(iii) Subscriber has been offered the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the Offering and to obtain any information the Subscriber deems necessary to verify the accuracy of any information regarding the Corporation and has had access to such additional information, if any, concerning the Corporation as it has considered necessary in connection with its investment decision to invest in the Common Shares;

(v) Unless the Common Shares are subject to an effective registration statement, the Subscriber agrees that it will not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of or encumber the Common Shares unless prior to any such sale, transfer, disposition or encumbrance, the Subscriber will, if requested, furnish the Corporation and its transfer agent with an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Corporation in form and substance that registration under the 1933 Act, applicable state securities laws or Canadian Securities Laws is not required;

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE.  THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED PURSUANT TO A VALID EXEMPTION THEREFROM UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.

provided, that if (i) it is not an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 405 under the 1933 Act) of the Corporation, (ii) it has not been such an affiliate in the preceding 90 days, and (iii) at least six months (or such other period as may be required under Rule 144 or any successor rule) have elapsed since the later of the date the Common Shares were acquired from the Corporation or from an affiliate of the Corporation, then the above legend may be removed from any certificates representing such Common Shares held by it by delivery to the Corporation of an opinion of counsel of recognized standing reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, to the effect that any such Common Shares held by it may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 (or any successor rule) of the 1933 Act and such legend is no longer required under applicable requirements of the 1933 Act or state securities laws;

(vii) Subscriber understands that upon the original issuance thereof, and until such time as the same is no longer required under Canadian Securities Laws, the certificates representing the Common Shares issued in reliance on Section 12(e)(ii)(2) above, and all certificates issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof, shall bear on the face of such certificates the following legend:

(x) Subscriber has concurrently executed and delivered Exhibit 1 or Exhibit 2, as applicable, with this Subscription Agreement which Exhibit is incorporated into and forms a part of this Subscription Agreement;

(xi) the financial condition of the Subscriber is such that he, she or it (i) has no need for liquidity with respect to his, her or its investment in the Common Shares to satisfy any existing or contemplated undertaking or indebtedness, and he, she or it has no need for a current return on his, her or its investment in the Common Shares; and (ii) is able to bear the economic risk of his, her or its investment in the Common Shares for an indefinite period of time, including the risk of losing all of his, her or its investment, and the loss of his, her or its entire investment in the Common Shares would not materially adversely affect the standard of living of the Subscriber or his or her family; and

(xii) all information that the Subscriber has provided in this Subscription Agreement concerning the Subscriber and his, her or its financial condition is correct and complete as of the date set forth on its executed Exhibit 1 or Exhibit 2, as applicable, and if there should be any material change in such information prior to the acceptance of the Subscriber’s subscription for the Common Shares subscribed for under this Subscription Agreement, the Subscriber will immediately so notify the Corporation.

(q) The Subscriber acknowledges that it has been encouraged to obtain independent legal, income tax and investment advice with respect to its subscription for the Common Shares and accordingly, has had the opportunity to acquire an understanding of the meanings of all terms contained herein relevant to the Subscriber for purposes of giving representations, warranties and covenants under this Subscription Agreement.

(p) The oil and gas reserve estimates of the Corporation contained or incorporated by reference into the SEC Documents have been prepared by independent reserve engineers in accordance with SEC guidelines applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved, and the Corporation has no reason to believe that such estimates do not fairly reflect the oil and gas reserves of the Corporation as of the dates indicated.  Other than production of the reserves in the ordinary course of business and intervening product price fluctuations or divestiture of such assets described in the SEC Documents, the Corporation is not aware of any facts or circumstances that would have a material adverse effect on the reserves or the present value of future net cash flows therefrom as described in the SEC Documents.

Indemnification

14.     The Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless the Subscriber and its officers, directors, employees and affiliates and each person who controls the Subscriber (within the meaning of the 1933 Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus or any “issuer free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 433 under the 1933 Act) or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or any violation or alleged violation by the Corporation of the 1933 Act, the Exchange Act or applicable “blue sky” laws, except insofar as the same are made in reliance and in conformity with information relating to the Subscriber furnished to the Corporation by the Subscriber expressly for use therein.

15.     Subscriber will indemnify and hold harmless the Corporation, its directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and shareholders from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all fees, costs and expenses whatsoever reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any claim, lawsuit, administrative proceeding or investigation whether commenced or threatened) arising out of or based upon any representation or warranty of the Subscriber contained herein or in any document furnished by the Subscriber to the Corporation in connection herewith being untrue in any material respect or any breach or failure by the Subscriber to comply with any covenant or agreement made by the Subscriber or to the Corporation in connection therewith.  Further, Subscriber shall indemnify and hold harmless the Corporation, the underwriters and their respective officers, employees, directors, affiliates, and each person who controls the Corporation or such underwriter (within the meaning of the 1933 Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that the same are made in reliance and in conformity with information relating to the Subscriber furnished to the Corporation by the Subscriber expressly for use therein.

16.     Any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party.  If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld).  An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party there may be one or more legal or equitable defenses available to such indemnified party that are in addition to or may conflict with those available to another indemnified party with respect to such claim.  Failure to give prompt written notice shall not release the indemnifying party from its obligations hereunder.

10

17.     The indemnification provided for under this Subscription Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities.

18.     If the indemnification provided for in or pursuant to Sections 14 through 18 is due in accordance with the terms hereof, but is held by a court to be unavailable or unenforceable in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein, then each applicable indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified person as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that result in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified person on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party, and by such party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.  In no event shall the liability of the Subscriber be greater in amount than the amount of net proceeds received by the Subscriber upon such sale.

EX-99.1

Exhibit 99.1

EXCERPTS FROM CONFIDENTIAL PRIVATE PLACEMENT MEMORANDUM:

THE CORPORATION

We are an oil and gas exploration company focused on emerging shale oil reserves. We have recently undertaken a new strategic investment strategy in the Bakken Shale play with our entry into a joint participation agreement (the “Slawson Agreement”), effective January 15, 2010, with Slawson Exploration Company, Inc. (“Slawson”) involving 4,000 net acres in McKenzie and Williams Counties of North Dakota. The Bakken Shale formation in the Williston Basin underlies much of North Dakota and eastern Montana. In addition, we have interests in the Maritimes Basin in the Province of Nova Scotia.

In March 2010, we completed a private placement with certain accredited investors, pursuant to which such investors purchased an aggregate of 27,993,939 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $0.33 per share, yielding aggregate gross proceeds to us of approximately $9,238,000 and net proceeds of approximately $8,300,000.

Williston Basin

The Bakken Shale play in the Williston Basin is our core area of operations in the United States. Having identified what we believe is the prime Bakken Shale fairway, we are continuing to explore further opportunities in the region. We are constantly reviewing potential transactions and are actively pursuing the acquisition of additional leases and acreage in North Dakota in furtherance of our new strategic direction.

We have entered into the Slawson Agreement to acquire and develop acreage in known areas of production from the Middle Bakken Shale and Three Forks formations. Our acreage is located in the Rough Rider area of the play, primarily McKenzie and Williams Counties, North Dakota and consists of several drill ready locations. Under the terms of the Slawson Agreement, we have agreed to participate with a 30% working interest in the exploration and development of certain oil and gas leasehold interests acquired by Slawson (the “Project”).

As part of the Slawson Agreement, we have agreed to pay our participation interest share of all costs incurred in the Project, plus (i) an additional amount equal to 20% to 60% of our costs directly attributable to lease acquisitions, which amount depends on the bonus cost of a lease per net acre, (ii) an additional amount equal to 50% of our share of brokerage costs and other leasehold costs except those direct lease costs set out above and except those included in an applicable authorization for expenditure, and (iii) an additional 10% of our share in costs proposed in the applicable authorizations for expenditure for wells drilled under the Slawson Agreement.

The Slawson Agreement also provides that Slawson will generally be responsible for initiating well proposals, provided that we may recommend the drilling of a well upon land which we own an interest in the leases. If a party to the Slawson Agreement elects not to participate in a proposed well, then, subject to certain condition, it forfeits all rights within the spacing unit boundaries for such well, plus all contiguous sections. The Slawson Agreement also sets out a form of joint operating agreement, pursuant to which all wells initiated under the Slawson Agreement are to be operated.

Under the terms of the Slawson Agreement, we have the ability to limit our participation to no more than $25 million in any 12-month period for total gross acreage acquisition capital, of which we are 30%. However, this limitation may be exceeded at our option.

During the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2010, we spent approximately $4.8 million to acquire 5,300 net acres in the Williston Basin as part of the ongoing leasehold acquisitions pursuant to the Slawson Agreement in addition to other independent leasing activities.

In May 2010, we announced that we closed the purchase of 2,600 net acres in Williams and McKenzie Counties, North Dakota, which included 15 net bo/d of production and a 30% share of associated surface facilities and assets. We agreed to pay a total consideration of $3.2 million in the form of future well carry capped on a per well basis. The acreage is an extension of the Elm Coulee field and will be operated by Kodiak Oil and Gas.

In May 2010, we also announced our plans to participate in the Roedeske Federal #12-21H well in McKenzie County, North Dakota with an approximate 15% working interest. The well is being drilled on a 1,280 acre spacing unit and is expected to be completed with a 22-stage frac job. Operations commenced in July 2010 with XTO Energy as operator.

Canadian Operations

We have an 87% working interest in 474,625 gross acres (412,924 net acres) in the Windsor Sub-Basin of the Maritimes Basin located in the Province of Nova Scotia, Canada (the “Windsor Block”) and serve as operator of the Windsor Block. Until April 15, 2009, the land was governed by an exploration agreement between us and the Province of Nova Scotia. On April 15, 2009, the Windsor Block exploration agreement was transferred to a 10-year production lease. We acquired an additional 30% working interest in the Windsor Block in June 2009 from Contact Exploration Inc. in exchange for a 5.75% non-convertible gross overriding royalty interest, a cash payment of Cdn $270,000 and our assumption of the liabilities related to the former working interest of Contact Exploration Inc. This acquisition increased our working interest to its current 87% level.

In October 2009, we acquired 30 kilometers of 2D seismic on the Windsor Block and completed processing and interpreting the data in the fiscal quarter ending January 31, 2010. This seismic program, combined with the three completion operations on previously drilled vertical exploration wells, satisfied the first-year requirements of our 10-year production lease.

We continue to seek a partner for the drilling of an onshore well in the development of the Windsor Block.  In moving forward with the Windsor Block, we intend to consider a range of options pursuant to our existing production lease.

In May 2010, we announced that we closed on the sale of an existing wellbore and associated acreage in Alberta for approximately $1 million in cash.

New Triangle Board and Management

In November 2009, Palo Alto Investors, Inc. (“Palo Alto”), our largest shareholder, initiated discussions with us regarding the potential for several proactive measures, including changes to our board of directors (the “Board”) and management and other strategic alternatives. On November 30, 2009, we entered into a memorandum of understanding with a fund managed by Palo Alto, providing for the restructuring of the Board and management, as well as our intention to consider changes in our strategic direction and certain related matters.

As part of this memorandum of understanding, on November 30, 2009, we restructured the Board and senior management team. Three new directors were appointed on November 30, 2009, including Gardner Parker, who was appointed Chairman of the Board, Dr. Peter Hill and Jonathan Samuels. Two former directors also resigned from the Board. The Board is currently comprised of five directors, each of whom, other than Dr. Hill and Mr. Samuels, is independent under Canadian securities laws.

The Board also immediately restructured our senior management team. As part of the memorandum of understanding with Palo Alto, Dr. Hill was appointed our new Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Samuels was appointed our new Chief Financial Officer.

The Board and our senior management team have extensive knowledge of the oil and natural gas industry, and have broad experience in acquiring early stage oil and natural gas projects and exploring and developing oil and natural gas projects. Our officers and directors also have extensive experience in raising capital through the public equity markets and project finance.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Memorandum includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect thecurrent views of our management with respect to future events and financial performance. You can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate” and “continue,” or similar words. Those statements include statements regarding our and members of our management team’s intent, belief or current expectations as well as the assumptions on which such statements are based. Prospective investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risk and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements.

Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this Memorandum and in our other reports we filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The following Memorandum should be read in conjunction with the sections entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Consolidated Financial Statements” and notes related thereto in the Triangle 10-K and the Triangle 10-Q. See “Additional Information.” Important factors currently known to our management could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes in the future operating results over time. We believe that these assumptions are based upon reasonable data derived from and known about our business and operations. No assurances are made that actual results of operations or the results of our future activities will not differ materially from these assumptions. Factors that could cause differences include, but are not limited to, our ability to find oil and gas reserves that are economically recoverable, the volatility of oil and gas prices, the uncertain economic conditions in the United States and globally, our ability to develop reserves and sustain production, our estimate of the sufficiency of our existing capital sources, our ability to raise additional capital to fund cash requirements for future operations, in prospect development and property acquisitions or dispositions and in projecting future rates of production or future reserves, the timing of development expenditures and drilling of wells, and the operating hazards attendant to the oil and gas business.

Furthermore, the forward-looking statements contained in this Memorandum are made as of the date hereof, and we undertake no obligation, except as required by applicable securities legislation, to update publicly or to revise any of the included forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The forward-looking statements contained herein are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in the Common Shares is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. The risks and uncertainties below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial may also impair our business and operations and cause the price of our Common Shares to decline. If any of the risks described in the Triangle 10-K, including those related to our ability to continue as a going concern, or if any of the following risks actually occur, our business may be harmed and the financial condition and results of operation may suffer significantly. In that event, the trading price of the Common Shares could decline and you may lose your entire investment. Prospective investors should review the risks with their legal and financial advisors, in addition to the matters set forth elsewhere in or incorporated by reference into this Memorandum.

- 4 - -

Risks Relating to Our Business

Natural gas and oil drilling is a speculative activity and involves numerous risks and substantial and uncertain costs that could adversely affect us.

An investment in us should be considered speculative due to the nature of our involvement in the exploration for, and the acquisition, development and production of, oil and natural gas in North America. Oil and gas operations involve many risks, which even a combination of experience and knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. There is no assurance that commercial quantities of oil and natural gas will be discovered or acquired by us.

We depend on successful exploration, development and acquisitions to maintain reserves and revenue in the future.

Acquisitions of crude oil and natural gas issuers and crude oil and natural gas assets are typically based on engineering and economic assessments made by independent engineers and our own assessments. These assessments both will include a series of assumptions regarding such factors as recoverability and marketability of crude oil and natural gas, future prices of crude oil and natural gas and operating costs, future capital expenditures and royalties and other government levies which will be imposed over the producing life of the reserves. Many of these factors are subject to change and are beyond our control. In particular, the prices of and markets for oil and natural gas products may change from those anticipated at the time of making such assessment. In addition, all such assessments involve a measure of geologic and engineering uncertainty that could result in lower production and reserves than anticipated. Initial assessments of acquisitions may be based on reports by a firm of independent engineers that are not the same as the firm that we use for our year-end reserve evaluations. Because each of these firms may have different evaluation methods and approaches, these initial assessments may differ significantly from the assessments of the firm used by us.

In addition, our review of records and properties of potential acquisitions may not necessarily reveal existing or potential problems, nor will we necessarily become sufficiently familiar with the properties before we acquire them to assess fully their deficiencies and potential. Environmental problems, such as soil or ground water contamination, are not necessarily observable even when an inspection on a well is undertaken and even when problems are identified, we may often assume certain environmental and other risks and liabilities in connection with acquired properties.

As most of our properties are in the exploration stage, there can be no assurance that we will establish commercial discoveries on our properties.

Exploration for economic reserves of oil and gas is subject to a number of risk factors. Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing oil and/or gas wells. Most of our properties are in the exploration stage and we may not establish commercial discoveries on our properties. Failure to do so would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We cannot control the activities on properties we do not operate and are unable to ensure their proper operation and profitability.

We do not operate the properties in which we have an interest. As a result, we have limited ability to exercise influence over, and control the risks associated with, operations of these properties. The failure of an operator of our wells to adequately perform operations, an operator’s breach of the applicable agreements or an operator’s failure to act in ways that are in our best interests could reduce our production and revenues. The success and timing of our drilling and development activities on properties operated by others therefore depend upon a number of factors outside of our control, including the operator’s timing and amount of capital expenditures, expertise and financial resources, inclusion of other participants in drilling wells and use of technology.

We have substantial capital requirements that, if not met, may hinder our operations.

We anticipate that we will make substantial capital expenditures for the acquisition, exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas reserves in the future and for future drilling programs, including our obligations to Slawson under the Slawson Agreement. If we has insufficient revenues, we may have limited ability to expend the capital necessary to undertake or complete future drilling programs. There can be no assurance that debt or equity financing, or cash generated by operations will be available or sufficient to meet these requirements or for other corporate purposes, or if debt or equity financing is available, that it will be on terms acceptable to us. Moreover, future activities may require us to alter our capitalization significantly. Our inability to access sufficient capital for our operations could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

- 5 - -

Because we are small and have limited access to additional capital, we may have to limit our exploration activity, which may result in a loss of investment.

We have a small asset base and limited access to additional capital. Accordingly, we must limit our exploration activity. As such, we may not be able to complete an exploration program that is as thorough as our management would like. In that event, existing reserves may go undiscovered. Without finding reserves, we cannot generate revenues and investors may lose their investment.

Although our estimated natural gas and oil reserve data has been prepared by an independent third party, the estimates may still prove to be inaccurate.

There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of oil and natural gas reserves and the future cash flows attributed to such reserves. In general, estimates of economically recoverable oil and natural gas reserves and the future net cash flows therefrom are based upon a number of variable factors and assumptions, such as historical production from the properties, production rates, ultimate reserve recovery, timing and amount of capital expenditure, marketability of oil and gas, royalty rates, the assumed effects of regulation by governmental agencies and future operating costs, all of which may vary materially from actual results. For those reasons, estimates of the economically recoverable oil and natural gas reserves attributable to any particular group of properties, classification of such reserves based on risk of recovery and estimates of future net revenues associated with reserves prepared by different engineers, or by the same engineers at different times, may vary. Our actual production, revenues, taxes and development and operating expenditures with respect to our reserves will vary from estimates thereof and such variations could be material.

We face strong competition from other oil and gas companies.

We encounter competition from other oil and gas companies in all areas of our operations, including the acquisition of exploratory prospects and proven properties. Our competitors include major oil and gas companies and numerous independent oil and gas companies, individuals and drilling and income programs. Many of our competitors have been engaged in the oil and gas business much longer than we have and possess substantially larger operating staffs and greater capital resources than us. These companies may be able to pay more for exploratory projects and productive oil and gas properties and may be able to define, evaluate, bid for and purchase a greater number of properties and prospects than our financial or human resources permit. In addition, these companies may be able to expend greater resources on the existing and changing technologies that we believe are and will be increasingly important to attaining success in the industry. Such competitors may also be in a better position to secure oilfield services and equipment on a timely basis or on favorable terms. We may not be able to conduct our operations, evaluate and select suitable properties and consummate transactions successfully in this highly competitive environment.

Current global financial conditions have been characterized by increased volatility which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, liquidity and financial condition.

Current global financial conditions and recent market events have been characterized by increased volatility and the resulting tightening of the credit and capital markets has reduced the amount of available liquidity and overall economic activity. There can be no assurance that debt or equity financing, the ability to borrow funds or cash generated by operations will be available or sufficient to meet or satisfy our initiatives, objectives or requirements. Our inability to access sufficient amounts of capital on terms acceptable to us for our operations could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, liquidity and financial condition.

The potential profitability of oil and gas properties depends upon factors beyond our control.

The potential profitability of oil and gas properties is dependent upon many factors beyond our control. For instance, world prices and markets for oil and gas are unpredictable, highly volatile, potentially subject to governmental fixing, pegging, controls, or any combination of these and other factors, and respond to changes in domestic, international, political, social, and economic environments. Additionally, due to worldwide economic uncertainty, the availability and cost of funds for production and other expenses have become increasingly difficult, if not impossible, to project. These changes and events may materially affect our financial performance. In addition, a productive well may become uneconomic in the event that water or other deleterious substances are encountered which impair or prevent the production of oil and/or gas from the well. In addition, production from any well may be unmarketable if it is impregnated with water or other deleterious substances. These factors cannot be accurately predicted and the combination of these factors may result in us not receiving an adequate return on invested capital.

- 6 - -

Seasonal weather conditions and other factors could adversely affect our ability to conduct drilling activities.

Our operations could be adversely affected by seasonal weather conditions and wildlife restrictions on federal leases. In some areas, certain drilling and other oil and gas activities can only be conducted during limited times of the year, typically during the summer months. This would limit our ability to operate in these areas and could intensify competition during those times for drilling rigs, oil field equipment, services, supplies and qualified personnel, which may lead to periodic shortages. These constraints and the resulting shortages or high costs could delay our operations and materially increase our operating and capital costs, which could have a material adverse effect upon us and our results of operations.

If we are unable to retain the services of Messrs. Hill and Samuels or if we are unable to successfully recruit qualified managerial and field personnel having experience in oil and gas exploration, we may not be able to continue our operations.

Our success depends to a significant extent upon the continued services of our directors and officers and, in particular:Peter Hill, our Chief Executive Officer and Jonathan Samuels, our Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary.Loss of the services of Messrs. Hill and Samuelscould have a material adverse effect on our growth, revenues, and prospective business. We have not obtained and do not expect to obtain key man insurance on our management. In addition, in order to successfully implement and manage our business plan, we will be dependent upon, among other things, successfully recruiting qualified managerial and field personnel having experience in the oil and gas exploration business. Competition for qualified individuals is intense. There can be no assurance that we will be able to find, attract and retain existing employees or that we will be able to find, attract and retain qualified personnel on acceptable terms.

We have a limited operating history in the Bakken Shale play in North Dakota and if we are not successful in continuing to grow our business, then we may have to scale back or even cease our ongoing business operations.

We have a limited operating history in the Bakken Shale play in North Dakota. Our success is significantly dependent on a successful acquisition, drilling, completion and production program. Our operations in the Bakken Shale play will be subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a developing enterprise and the uncertainties arising from the absence of a significant operating history. We may be unable to locate recoverable reserves or operate on a profitable basis. We are in the exploration stage and potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by enterprises in the exploration stage. If our business plan is not successful, and we are not able to operate profitably, investors may lose some or all of their investment.

Our lack of diversification will increase the risk of an investment in us, and our financial condition and results of operations may deteriorate as a result of our lack of diversification.

Our current business focus is on the oil and gas industry in a limited number of properties, initially primarily in North Dakota. Larger companies have the ability to manage their risk by diversification. However, we will lack diversification, in terms of both the nature and geographic scope of our business. As a result, we will likely be impacted more acutely by factors affecting our industry or the regions in which we operate, such as the Bakken Shale play, than we would if our business were more diversified, enhancing our risk profile.

The marketability of natural resources will be affected by numerous factors beyond our control.

The markets and prices for oil and gas depend on numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include demand for oil and gas, which fluctuate with changes in market and economic conditions, and other factors, including:

· worldwide and domestic supplies of oil and gas;

· actions taken by foreign oil and gas producing nations;

· political conditions and events (including instability or armed conflict) in oil-producing or gas-producing regions;

· the level of global and domestic oil and gas inventories;

· the price and level of foreign imports;

· the level of consumer demand;

· the price and availability of alternative fuels;

· the availability of pipeline or other takeaway capacity;

· weather conditions;

· domestic and foreign governmental regulations and taxes; and

· the overall worldwide and domestic economic environment.

Significant declines in oil and gas prices for an extended period may have the following effects on our business:

· adversely affect our financial condition, liquidity, ability to finance planned capital expenditures and results of operations;

· cause us to delay or postpone some of our capital projects;

· reduce our revenues, operating income and cash flow; and

· limit our access to sources of capital.

- 7 - -

We may have difficulty distributing our oil and gas production, which could harm our financial condition.

In order to sell the oil and gas that we are able to produce, we have to make arrangements for storage and distribution to the market. We will rely on local infrastructure and the availability of transportation for storage and shipment of our products, but infrastructure development and storage and transportation facilities may be insufficient for our needs at commercially acceptable terms in the localities in which we operate. This situation could be particularly problematic to the extent that our operations are conducted in remote areas that are difficult to access, such as areas that are distant from shipping and/or pipeline facilities. These factors may affect our ability to explore and develop properties and to store and transport our oil and gas production and may increase our expenses.

Furthermore, weather conditions or natural disasters, actions by companies doing business in one or more of the areas in which we presently or plan to operate, or labor disputes may impair the distribution of oil and/or gas and in turn diminish our financial condition or ability to maintain our operations.

Our significant shareholders may have substantial influence over our business and affairs.

As of July 21, 2010, Cambrian Capital, L.P. and Palo Alto each own greater than 10% of our issued and outstanding Common Shares.  As a result, each of these investors individually will have substantial influence over the outcome of certain matters requiring shareholder approval, including the power to, among other things:

· amend our articles of incorporation;

· elect and remove our directors and control the appointment of our senior management; and

· prevent our ability to be acquired and complete other significant corporate transactions.

Oil and gas operations are subject to comprehensive regulation which may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated, causing an adverse effect on us.

Oil and gas operations are subject to federal, state, provincial and local laws relating to the protection of the environment, including laws regulating removal of natural resources from the ground and the discharge of materials into the environment. Oil and gas operations are also subject to federal, state, provincial and local laws and regulations which seek to maintain health and safety standards by regulating the design and use of drilling methods and equipment. Various permits from government bodies are required for drilling operations to be conducted; no assurance can be given that such permits will be received.  Further, hydraulic fracturing, the process used for releasing natural gas from shale rock, has recently come under increased scrutiny and could be the subject of further regulation that could impact the timing and cost of development.

Exploration activities are subject to certain environmental regulations which may prevent or delay the commencement or continuance of our operations.

In general, our exploration activities are subject to certain federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental quality and pollution control. Such laws and regulations increase the costs of these activities and may prevent or delay the commencement or continuance of a given operation. Compliance with these laws and regulations has not had a material effect on our operations or financial condition to date. Specifically, we are subject to legislation regarding emissions into the environment, water discharges and storage and disposition of hazardous wastes. In addition, legislation has been enacted which requires well and facility sites to be abandoned and reclaimed to the satisfaction of state authorities. However, such laws and regulations are frequently changed and we are unable to predict the ultimate cost of compliance. Generally, environmental requirements do not appear to affect us any differently or to any greater or lesser extent than other companies in the industry.

With the introduction of the Kyoto Protocol, oil and gas producers may be required to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This could result in, among other things, increased operating and capital expenditures for those producers. This could also make certain production of crude oil or natural gas by those producers uneconomic, resulting in reductions in such production. We are unable to predict the effect on our future earnings of the ratification of the Kyoto Protocol by the Canadian Federal Government. However, in order to mitigate this risk, we are committed to maximizing shareholder value in an environmentally, socially responsible and safe manner.

We believe that our operations comply, in all material respects, with all applicable environmental regulations. Our operating partners generally maintain insurance coverage customary to the industry; however, we are not fully insured against all possible environmental risks.

- 8 - -

Exploratory drilling involves many risks and we may become liable for pollution or other liabilities which may have an adverse effect on our financial position.

Drilling operations generally involve a high degree of risk. Hazards such as unusual or unexpected geological formations, power outages, labour disruptions, blow-outs, sour gas leakage, fire, inability to obtain suitable or adequate machinery, equipment or labour, and other risks are involved. We may become subject to liability for pollution or hazards against which we cannot adequately insure or for which we may elect not to insure. Incurring any such liability may have a material adverse effect on our financial position and operations.

Any change in government regulation and/or administrative practices may have a negative impact on our ability to operate and on our profitability.

The laws, regulations, policies or current administrative practices of any government body, organization or regulatory agency in the U.S. or Canada or any other jurisdiction may be changed, applied or interpreted in a manner which will fundamentally alter our ability to carry on our business. The actions, policies or regulations, or changes thereto, of any government body or regulatory agency, or other special interest groups, may have a detrimental effect on us. Any or all of these situations may have a negative impact on our ability to operate and/or our profitability.

Aboriginal claims could have an adverse effect on us and our operations.

Aboriginal peoples have claimed aboriginal title and rights to portions of Canada. We are not aware that any claims have been made in respect of our property and assets. However, if a claim arose and was successful, it could have an adverse effect on us and our operations.

No assurance can be given that defects in our title to natural gas and oil interests do not exist.

Title to natural gas and oil interests is often not possible to determine without incurring substantial expense. An independent title review was completed with respect to certain of the more valuable natural gas and oil rights acquired by us and the interests in natural gas and oil rights owned by us. However, no assurance can be given that title defects do not exist. If a title defect does exist, it is possible that we may lose all or a portion of the properties to which the title defect relates. Our actual interest in certain properties may therefore vary from our records.

Risks Relating to Investment in the Common Shares

An investment in the Common Shares is highly speculative and there is no assurance of a positive return on an investment in the Common Shares.

An investment in the Common Shares is highly speculative and there is no assurance of a positive, or any, return on an investment in the Common Shares. The purchase of Common Shares involves a number of significant risks and is most suitable only for an investor who is aware of the inherent risks in resource exploration and development, who is able and willing to risk a total loss of this investment and who has no immediate need for liquidity.

An active and liquid market for the Common Shares may not be maintained and the lack of liquidity could adversely affect the market price for the Common Shares.

An active and liquid market for the Common Shares may not be maintained following the completion of the Offering.  If an active public market is not maintained, investors may have difficulty selling their Common Shares. Furthermore, quotations for the Common Shares are published on the OTC Bulletin Board. The OTC Bulletin Board is an unorganized, inter-dealer, over-the-counter market that provides significantly less liquidity than other markets. Purchasers of the Common Shares may, therefore, have difficulty selling their shares should they desire to do so, and the lack of liquidity could adversely affect the market price for the Common Shares.

The Common Shares will be restricted and may not be transferable.

The issuance of the Common Shares has not been and will not be registered under applicable federal, state or provincial securities laws of the United States and Canada, as applicable. The Common Shares will be issued in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of such laws.  The certificates representing the Common Shares will contain a legend restricting the transfer of the Common Shares.  Except in certain limited circumstances, we will not be obligated to register the resale of the Common Shares.  Accordingly, the Common Shares may not be sold, assigned, pledged or otherwise transferred except under specified conditions, including the requirement that the Common Shares be registered under the Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws or that an opinion of counsel satisfactory to us be rendered to the effect that such registrations are not required.  Because of the restricted nature of the Common Shares, the Common Shares may not be readily accepted as collateral for a loan.

- 9 - -

All of the Common Shares may not be sold, and we may not receive the maximum amount of proceeds.

The Offering is being made on a “best efforts” basis with no minimum number of Common Shares that must be sold. In addition, we reserve the right to terminate the Offering at any time and accept subscriptions for only a portion of the Common Shares offered.  To the extent that fewer than all the Common Shares being offered are sold, we may need to obtain other financing to pursue our business objectives described under “Use of Proceeds.”  We may be unable to sell additional Common Shares or to obtain other financing on terms and conditions acceptable to us.  If an insufficient number of Common Shares is sold and other financing is not available, we may be prevented from pursuing our current business plan as in effect, and we may need to modify or scale back that plan.

Our management will have considerable discretion in the application of the net proceeds of the Offering.

Our management will have considerable discretion in the application of the net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately, or to have any input over the application of such proceeds. The net proceeds may be used for purposes that do not increase our operating results or market value. Until the net proceeds are used, they may be placed in investments that either do not produce income or lose value.

Investors will experience immediate dilution in the net tangible book value per Common Share from the price paid in the Offering.

Immediately after this Offering, the public offering price of the Common Shares will be substantially higher than the net tangible book value per Common Share. Net tangible book value per Common Share represents the amount of total tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by the number of shares outstanding. If an investor purchases  Common Shares in this Offering, it will incur immediate dilution in the net tangible book value per Common Share from the price paid for Common Shares in this Offering.

The market price for the Common Shares may be highly volatile.

The market price for the Common Shares may be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations. Some of the factors that could negatively affect such share price include:

· actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly results of operations;

· liquidity;

· sales of Common Shares by our shareholders;

· changes in oil and natural gas prices;

· changes in our cash flows from operations or earnings estimates;

· publication of research reports about us or the exploration and production industry generally;

· increases in market interest rates which may increase our cost of capital;

· changes in applicable laws or regulations, court rulings and enforcement and legal actions;

· changes in market valuations of similar companies;

· adverse market reaction to any increased indebtedness we incur in the future;

· additions or departures of key management personnel;

· actions by our shareholders;

· commencement of or involvement in litigation;

· news reports relating to trends, concerns, technological or competitive developments, regulatory changes and other related issues in our industry;

· speculation in the press or investment community regarding our business;

· general market and economic conditions; and

· domestic and international economic, legal and regulatory factors unrelated to our performance.

Financial markets have recently experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have affected the market prices of equity securities of companies and that have, in many cases, been unrelated to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies.  Accordingly, the market price of the Common Shares may decline even if our operating results, underlying asset values or prospects have not changed. Additionally, these factors, as well as other related factors, may cause decreases in asset values that are deemed to be other than temporary.

We  do not anticipate paying dividends on our Common Shares in the foreseeable future.

We do not expect to declare or pay any cash or other dividends in the foreseeable future on our Common Shares, as we intend to use cash flow generated by operations to develop our business.

- 10 - -

The Common Shares are subject to the “penny stock” rules of the SEC and the trading market in our securities is limited, which makes transactions in the Common Shares cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in the Common Shares.

The SEC has adopted Rule 3a51-1 which establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that (i) has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, or (ii) is not registered on a national securities exchange or listed on an automated quotation system sponsored by a national securities exchange. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, Rule 15g-9 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires:

· that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks; and

· the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.

In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:

· obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and

· make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.

The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:

· sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and

· attests that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.

Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading, and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative. Current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies and to be available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of the Common Shares and cause a decline in the market value of the Common Shares.

Investors may be unable to enforce Canadian statutory remedies against us.

Securities legislation in certain of the Provinces and Territories of Canada provides investors with various rights and remedies where a public disclosure contains a misrepresentation. We are incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada. It may be difficult for investors to collect from us judgements obtained in courts in Canada predicated on the civil liability provisions of Canadian securities legislation.

Investors may be unable to enforce judgments against us and certain of our directors and officers.

Certain of our directors and officers, as well as our independent auditors, reside principally in Canada. Because a portion of our assets and all or substantially all of the assets of these persons are located outside the U.S., it may not be possible for you to effect service of process within the U.S. upon us or those persons. Furthermore it may not be possible for you to enforce judgments obtained in U.S. courts based upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws or other laws of the U.S. against us or those persons. There is doubt as to the enforceability in original actions in Canadian courts of liabilities based upon the U.S. federal securities laws, and as to the enforceability in Canadian courts of judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions based upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws. Therefore, it may not be possible to enforce those actions against  us, certain of our directors and officers or anyone else named in this Memorandum.

DESCRIPTION OF SHARE CAPITAL

The following is a summary of the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the Common Shares and other outstanding securities.

Common Shares

We are authorized to issue up to 150,000,000 Common Shares, with a par value of $0.00001. As of the date of this Memorandum, there are 98,711,648 Common Shares outstanding. Holders of the Common Shares are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon by the shareholders. Holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive rateably such dividends, if any, as may be declared by the Board. Upon our liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, the holders of Common Shares are entitled to share rateably in our assets which are legally available for distribution after payment of all debts and other liabilities. Holders of Common Shares have no pre-emptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights.

- 11 - -

Equity Grants

As of April 30, 2010, we had issued and outstanding vested and unvested stock options exercisable for an aggregate of 3,400,000 Common Shares.

On February 2, 2010, we issued an aggregate of 2,050,000 deferred share units to certain members of senior management and the Board. Such deferred share units will be automatically exchangeable, on a one-for-one basis, for Common Shares on the first anniversary date of the grant.

Press Release

TRIANGLE PETROLEUM ANNOUNCES PRICING OF

PRIVATE OFFERING OF 2,044,187 COMMON SHARES

Denver, Colorado, August 2, 2010 – Triangle Petroleum Corporation (“Triangle”) (TSXV: TPE; OTCBB: TPLM) today announced that it has priced its private offering (the “Private Offering”) of shares of its common stock (“Common Shares”) and entered into subscription and registration rights agreements with certain accredited investors for the private placement of 2,044,187 newly-issued Common Shares at a purchase price of $0.43 per share.  The net proceeds of the Private Offering are expected to be approximately $836,000.  Triangle intends to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including acquisition of acreage, funding of drilling commitments and working capital.  Pursuant to the subscription and registration rights agreements, Triangle will provide limited “piggyback” registration rights to subscribers of shares in the Private Offering.

The closing of the Private Offering is scheduled to take place on August 5, 2010.

This press release is being issued pursuant to Rule 135c under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy the Common Shares or any other securities and shall not constitute an offer to buy, or a sale of, the Common Shares or any other securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful.  The Common Shares are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and therefore may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration.

Certain statements in this news release should be regarded as “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of the securities laws.  These statements speak only as of the date made and are subject to assumptions and estimates that Triangle’s management believes are reasonable based on currently available information.  Actual results or events may vary materially.  Any number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the discovery, estimation, development and replacement of oil and gas reserves; timing and amount of future production of oil and gas; the volatility of oil and gas prices; future operating or financial results; and the availability and terms of capital.  Further information on risks and uncertainties is available in Triangle’s filings with the SEC.

Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
