Paper Legend Michel Perron and Hockey Legend Luc Robitaille to Launch Onco Petroleum's Intial Public Offering

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Nov. 13, 2007) - An international group of luminary entrepreneurs and celebrities will gather on Wednesday, November 14th, at noon in the Molson Theatre at the Hockey Hall of Fame located at 30 Yonge Street in Toronto, to launch the initial public offering of Ontario based Onco Petroleum Inc. (CNQ:ONCO).

Quebec pulp and paper legend, Michel Perron, Chairman of Onco will be joined by fellow Director and retired hockey legend Luc Robitaille, current President of Business Operations for the Los Angeles Kings, for the public launch.

Onco Petroleum Inc. currently owns and operates oil and gas wells in the Addison 12 Niagaran Reef, Oakland County, Michigan, and the Tilbury Gas Field on the North shore of Lake Erie.

Robert J. Vanier, Onco's CEO stated, "the potential of the Tilbury Gas Field makes it a strategic asset for Onco with a projected volume of 750 Bcf of natural gas in place, putting the estimate for the total value of Tilbury at more than $5 billion given a price of $7.00 or more per MMbtu".

Peter K. Dorrins, Onco's Chief Operating Officer and geologist stated, "our assets are located in the Chicago- Detroit-Toronto corridor giving us direct access to the Dawn Hub, one of Canada's most important natural gas hubs".

Onco's Chairman, Michel Perron stated that his interest is also based on the fact that "we have direct access to the national gas pipeline network and hence, we are able to distribute our gas to local markets quickly".

Through the use of new technologies, Onco is able to redevelop its properties and maximize oil and gas production rates.

"The indication of the volume of oil and gas in the Tilbury Field is an important discovery that we expect will place Onco ahead of typical junior oil companies. It's a real Canadian Cinderella story" stated Luc Robitaille, a Director of Onco. Robitaille is the highest scoring left winger ever in the NHL and a strong supporter of Onco.

Onco Petroleum Inc. is listed on the CNQ exchange in Toronto. Robert Cook, CEO of CNQ stated, "We welcome Onco Petroleum, which is one of the larger corporations listed on the CNQ. We congratulate Onco and look forward to seeing its continued growth and success".
