A Reserve Assessment and Evaluation of Select Oil and Gas Properties Report prepared by Calgary based GLJ GLJ Georgetown Law Journal Petroleum Consultants, as of June 30, 2008, provides the following revisions to their previous report, effective December 31, 2008. All figures are reported in Canadian dollars. The updated 51-101 report by GLJ Petroleum Consultants will be available on www.sedar.com and www.dejour.com. Readers are cautioned that estimated values disclosed do not necessarily represent fair market value. All GLJ figures are pre-tax, net of royalties and all operating costs operating costs npl → gastos mpl operacionales . Highlights are as follows: Reserve Values based on GLJ 2008 Price Deck Forecast [TABLE OMITTED] Reserve Values based on Constant Prices (SEC Case) [TABLE OMITTED] These updated figures continue to validate Dejour's 2008 exploration and development strategy. The Canadian operation has added considerable oil reserves Oil reserves refer to portions of oil in place that are claimed to be recoverable under economic constraints. Oil in the ground is not a "reserve" unless it is claimed to be economically recoverable, since as the oil is extracted, the cost of recovery increases incrementally to benefit from high oil prices while continuing development of its natural gas projects. This has resulted in an increase from 5% NGL's / 95% Natural Gas, to 53% Light and Medium Crude Oil and NGL's (Natural Gas Liquids) / 47% Natural Gas. "Currently four of the ten wells tested and independently evaluated for production are on stream. The balance is being prepared for production in Q3-08, with design capacity to accommodate the next round of development. One of the 2008 oil discovery areas has a current 2P valuation of approximately $40MM based on primary recovery and restricted initial production rates. However, a nearby analogous pool has already shown a 100% plus increase in estimated ultimate oil recoveries (EUR's) through the utilization of secondary recovery techniques. Dejour has commenced design work to utilize these techniques, when appropriate, to further raise its EUR EUR In currencies, this is the abbreviation for the Euro. Notes: The currency market, also known as the Foreign Exchange market, is the largest financial market in the world, with a daily average volume of over US $1 trillion. from this pool. As Dejour's other discoveries are brought on stream in Q3 2008, development plans will be finalized for the upcoming fall and winter," says Charles Dove, President of Dejour Energy, Alberta.

This, combined with higher prices for energy and the increase in bias towards oil, is responsible for pre-tax cash flow estimates much better than previously anticipated. The Company's Peace River Arch projects have now proven to be an excellent platform for Dejour to initiate extensive resource exploitation programs on over 143,000 net acres of oil and natural gas leases well positioned in key US Rocky Mountain and NE BC / NW Alberta energy regions."
