Calgary, Alberta, March 16, 2011 – Emerald Bay Energy Inc. (TSX Venture: EBY) (the "Corporation") is pleased to announce that it has acquired 100% working interest in the Wilson “A” oil and gas lease situated in Medina County from Flinthill Energy Ltd., a private, Texas based oil company.

Under the terms of the purchase agreement, the Corporation will issue, subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, 532,812 common shares (at $0.08 per share for aggregate proceeds of $42,625.00) of the Corporation.
