Portal Resources Ltd. (TSX Venture Exchange: PDO) (Frankfurt: P5H)is pleased to announce that the Company has been assigned its first oil and natural gas reserves after successfully completing a five-well program in West Central Saskatchewan.

In the second quarter of 2011, the Company participated in the drilling of three wells and the re-completion of two wells at its Salt Lake (Birdbear) heavy oil project near Macklin, Saskatchewan. Based on the initial wells, Fekete Associates Inc., an independent petroleum consulting firm, estimates Portal’s proved oil and natural gas liquids (NGLs) reserves to be 99,000 barrels (Bbls) and proved natural gas reserves to be 229,000 thousand cubic feet (Mcf) as at June 30, 2011. Total proved and probable reserves are estimated to be 117,600 Bbls of oil and NGLs, and 269,000 Mcfof natural gas.

These amounts represent Portal’s reserves on its Salt Lake Project only. The Company has additional land holdings in West Central Saskatchewan as well as a core area in Central Albertato which reserves have yet to be assigned.

Portal’s reserves report was prepared in accordance with National Instrument 51-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities and the definitions and guidelines of the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook (COGEH). The complete report will be filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

This Press Release may contain, in addition to historical information, forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements are based on management's expectations and beliefs, and involve risks and uncertainties. These statements may involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results to be materially different from the results implied herein.

The term “barrels of oil equivalent” (boe) may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boeconversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet (6 Mcf) to one barrel (1 bbl) is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.

“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.”
