CYGAM Energy Inc. (CYG.V), an emerging oil and gas company with interests in Tunisia and Italy, has filed its Interim Financial Results and Management Discussion & Analysis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 pursuant to the requirements of the Canadian Securities Administrators.

CYGAM's Q2 and year to date results showed significant improvements in both production volumes and revenues over prior years arising from the TT Field that is contained within the Bir Ben Tartar ("BBT") Concession in the Sud Remada Permit. Strong pricing, excellent netbacks and cash flow from its Brent- priced Tunisian oil production resulted in CYGAM's continued profitability in 2012.

Under the production sharing contract established for the Sud Remada Permit with the Tunisian state oil company, Enterprise Tunisienne d'Activities Petrolieres ("ETAP"), CYGAM holds a 14 percent working interest through its wholly owned subsidiary Rigo Oil Company Tunisia Ltd., in partnership with Storm Ventures International, a subsidiary of Chinook Energy Inc. ("Chinook"), who holds the remaining 86 percent working interest and operates.

Highlights of the quarter and year to date

-- Gross production for the three months ended June 30, 2012 from the TT Field averaged 1,928 bopd (170.9 bopd CYGAM net, post ETAP) from eight wells; 2,034 bopd (177.4 bopd CYGAM net, post ETAP) for the six months ended June 30, 2012;

-- Oil net revenue was $905,325 for the three months ended June 30, 2012; $2,990,080 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. At June 30, 2012, 8,631 barrels of oil were held in inventory and were sold in July;
