Letter to the Shareholders

Trivello Energy Corp. (TSX-V:“TRV”) is an oil and gas Company engaged in the exploration and development of unconventional shale gas deposits in northeast British Columbia’s Horn River basin.

The Company has prepared and positioned itself to take advantage of the current economic turmoil to increase its ownership of its Lucy Shale Gas Project and leverage newly available low-cost resources to complete the next leg of development.

The Horn River basin is located approximately 50km northeast of Fort Nelson, British Columbia and recently listed as one of – if not – the largest gas deposit in North America which resulted in record land lease sales of over $2.2 Billion by the government of British Columbia. Trivello’s Lucy Shale Gas property is located on the southeast corner of the Horn River basin and consists of three sections (three square miles) of land enjoying year round access. The property is traversed by a production pipeline providing readily available pipeline access.

Over the last few years technology development in horizontal drilling techniques and fracture technology has successfully opened up gas resources in shale formations. These technologies and techniques have been successfully applied to the Horn River basin leading to it being labeled as one of the largest shale gas deposits in North America. The Provincial Government of British Columbia’s Ministry of Energy, and Resources conservatively estimates at least 69 Trillion cubic feet (“Tcf”) where others believe it is over 100 Tcf. This massive resource represents an exceptional opportunity to deliver long term stable gas rates to sales.

In the last few months numerous investment projects in the Horn River basin have been announced and have underlined the importance of this valuable resource opportunity. Key announcements include; In March 2009, the BC provincial government announced $187 million in infrastructure improvements that will increase traffic capacity and improve access to the Horn River basin and assist in reducing costs to developers in the area; In January 2009, Encana Corp. announces the commitment of the first $400 million investment into a multi-billion dollar Cabin gas plant to process Horn River gas; In February 2009, Trans Canada Corp. announced $340MM to build a pipeline to carry Horn River gas from Fort Nelson to Edmonton, Alberta where it will connect to pipelines into the US market. The government In addition to massive investment into the region, the BC government has implemented a favorable Royalty scheme to provide additional incentive to developers to invest in the Horn River basin.

With the local infrastructure being addressed for the long term, Trivello and its partners can capitalize on today’s availability and cost effectiveness of local services as the global downturn has created the potential for smaller developers and producers to hire and utilize these service companies in a cost effective and timely way.

Trivello has participated and successfully completed two gas wells on its Lucy Shale Gas property over the past three years. The proximity of these two Gas Wells to the Encana Gas Pipeline allows the Company to tie in future gas production in a cost effective manner.

Trivello and partners have developed a work program of immediate impact, and reduced risk to vertically fracture stimulate (frac) the first gas well on the property. This frac consists of breaking the formation rock with water pressure and keeping the rock open via the infusion of special sand designed to stick to the fractures and hence improve deliverability of natural gas production into the well bore.

Once the vertical facture stimulation is complete, the Company will study the inflow characteristics of this well in order to verify the most prolific space within the 60 meters of shale. This critical data will set the stage for the subsequent operation in the project’s second standing Gas Well, whereby the Company and partners would drill a horizontal leg of approximately 800 meters in length and complete a six stage horizontal frac. This horizontal completion technique has yielded as much as 20 million cubic feet of gas per day on other wells within the region.

The Company has filed an engineering report with prospective resources on its property in the amount of 123 Bcf (Billion cubic feet) of gas on deposit. The Company will increase its holdings from the current 10% to a total of 40% by funding the first phase to vertically fracture stimulate and subsequently flow test the existing drilled and cased a-79-A/94-P-4 gas well on its property. Once funding is completed, the Company will have earned the additional 30%, increasing their interest to 40% of the Lucy Shale Gas Project. The second phase and all subsequent work would then go forward on this new ownership structure.

With a new capital structure and increased ownership in the Shale Gas Prospect, Trivello can capitalize and grow its reserves in a time of economic uncertainty at a lower cost and position itself favorably within the gas sales market.
