The Company announced that it has completed drilling operations on its first New Albany Shale test well located in Illinois Basin in Caldwell County, Kentucky, with encouraging results.

The Company is currently continuing with further drilling and evaluation at other locations within the approximate 72,000 acre leasehold. The Company has a 10% working interest position in the prospect.

The Company also announced its latest discoveries in the Gulf of Mexico with three successful wells; each with multiple pays.

That well has been completed and is awaiting pipeline connection. The three discoveries were made through the Company’s partnership with Hall-Houston Exploration.
