Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, March 30, 2009 – The Board of Directors of Xemplar Energy Corp. (TSX-Venture: XE, Frankfurt: E7R, Namibia: XEM) (“Xemplar” or the “Company”) is pleased to report the results for a further twelve drill holes from the Company’s 2008 drill program on the Warmbad Uranium project in Namibia.

Company CEO, Simon Tam, and President, William (Mickey) Harley commented that “We are pleased with the progress of our drill program at Warmbad. We have identified eight zones of Rossing-style uranium mineralization and are in the process of extending the size of these zones. We are especially pleased with the drill results of our diamond drill core sample ‘DDALU0004’ from Aluriesfontein Area 3, where we encountered 92 metres of uranium mineralization with aggregate U3O8 grades greater than 100 parts per million, including a width of 41 metres grading 160.5 ppm and with one metre sections with U3O8 mineralization as high as 609 ppm.”

Xemplar Energy continues to carry out a balanced exploration drill program combining definition and development drilling with the primary objective of defining a resource for its Warmbad project. The Company’s strategy entails exploration drilling to identify additional zones of mineralization, drilling to extend the size of the eight zones of mineralization that has been discovered at Aluriesfontein and Big Yellow, and definition drilling to define a resource at one or more of the zones of mineralization the Company has identified.
