PetroSun Acquires 985,000 Acres of Oil and Gas Mineral Rights in New Mexico and Arizona

Thursday, August 10th 2006

PetroSun Drilling, Incorporated announced that the company has entered into a lease agreement with NZ Oil and Gas, LLC that contains 985,000 acres of oil and gas mineral rights in New Mexico and Arizona. The leasehold includes prospective acreage in the San Juan Basin of New Mexico and the Holbrook Basin of Arizona that was reviewed in an independent Qualitative Assessment of Oil and Gas Potential by the Ryder Scott Company.

The initial term of the leasehold agreement is for a period of five years. During this timeframe, PetroSun plans to engage in strategic joint ventures with industry partners to fully exploit the prospective acreage. PetroSun subsidiaries, Bengal Drilling and Bobcat Pipe & Supply, will provide the drilling services, pipe and equipment for the projects. The Company intends to begin its exploration activities within the NZOG leasehold during the third quarter of 2006.

The San Juan Basin is the second largest natural gas field in the contiguous United States. The basin contains more than 300 oil and gas fields that produce from the Paleozoic, Jurassic, Cretaceous and Tertiary reservoirs.

The Holbrook Basin of Apache County, Arizona contains former helium producing fields (Pinta Dome, Navajo Springs and East Navajo Springs) and promising indications of oil, natural gas, helium and CO2 from exploration wells drilled within the basin.
