EDMONTON, ALBERTA - (Marketwire – November 10, 2010) Deep Well Oil & Gas, Inc. (and its subsidiaries –"Deep Well" or "Company") (OTCQB Marketplace: DWOG) is pleased to announce that it has secured private placement financing for just over U.S.

$ 2 million.

Deep Well successfully closed two equity investments as of November 9, 2010 for U.S. $2,050,000 for 29,285,713 units at a price of U.S. $ 0.07 per unit.

This CSS Test is not only to establish the production of heavy oil from the Blue Sky Zone of the Sawn Lake Project but it will also aid in quantifying Deep Well’s reserves.
