Eden Energy Corp. Arranges Financing

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 18, 2005 - Eden Energy Corp. (OTCBB: EDNE) is pleased to announce that it has received commitments from certain institutional investors to acquire convertible promissory notes and warrants of the Company for gross proceeds of US$6,575,000. The convertible notes can be converted to common shares on the basis of one common share for every US$5 in value of notes, subject to adjustment. In addition to the notes, the Company has agreed to issue to the investors warrants exercisable into common shares for 3 years at an exercise price of US$6. Each investor is entitled to half the number of warrants as the number of common shares that would be issued if the whole note is converted at US$5.

The Company has agreed to registration rights for the investors, although the securities to be issued are restricted and may not be sold or offered in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

The funds will be used to further the development of the Company's projects in Nevada and for working capital.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the notes or the warrants. This press release is being issued pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 135c under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
