At closing, Eagleford Energy issued 3,418,467 units of the Company at US$0.90 per unit in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Dyami Energy and assumed US$960,000 of Dyami Energy debt by way of a 6% secured promissory note payable. Each unit is comprised of one common share and one-half a purchase warrant. Each full warrant is exercisable into one additional common share at US$1.00 per share on or before August 31, 2014.

In addition, on August 31, 2010 the Company completed its previously announced June 14, 2010 acquisition which had closed in escrow. The Company acquired a 10% working interest before payout and a 7.5% working interest after payout in a mineral lease comprising approximately 2,629 gross acres of land in Zavala County, Texas for consideration of USD $200,000, satisfied by $25,000 paid in cash and a $175,000, 5% secured promissory note (the "Note"). The parties agreed to modify the Note payment due dates as follows: $100,000 of principal together with all accrued interest is due and payable on February 28, 2011 and $75,000 of principal together with all accrued interest is due and payable on August 31, 2011.

Giving effect to the Dyami Acquisition, the Company's Zavala County, Texas mineral property interests include a 85% working interest before payout (69% working interest after payout) in the Matthews Lease comprising approximately 2,629 gross acres of land and working interests ranging from 90% to 97% in the Murphy Lease comprising approximately 2,637 gross acres (collectively "the Leases").

The Leases are located in Zavala County which is part of the Maverick Basin of Southwest Texas and downdip from the United States Geological Studies north boundary of the Smackover-Austin-Eagle Ford total petroleum system. 

Eric Johnson, VP Operations at Dyami Energy stated, "We are excited by the potential for hydrocarbon production from our existing acreage blocks.  Both leases are in prime areas of the Eagle Ford Shale oil window as indicated by the recent results of Petrohawk's (Petrohawk Energy Corporation NYSE: HK) announced 355 barrels a day Mustang Ranch "C" #1H well southwest of our Matthews Lease and Chesapeake's (Chesapeake Energy Corporation NYSE: CHK) recently announced initial production of 930 barrels a day from its Traylor North 1-H well, located southwest of our Murphy Lease. The successes of the majors in neighbouring leases and the blanket nature of the Eagle Ford Shale support our own data and correlative logs indicating we are on track to have our own successes.  We are also looking forward to expanding the play by testing the Edwards formation below the Eagle Ford and analyzing fresh data on a heavy oil field found on our Matthews Lease, where prior engineering studies delineate approximately 150 million barrels of heavy oil in several San Miguel stacked sands."

There are approximately 29.7 million shares issued and outstanding in the capital of the Company after giving effect to the issuance of shares associated with closing the Dyami Acquisition of which 1.7 million are held in escrow pending confirmation of 100,000 barrels of oil or natural gas equivalent of proven reserves on the Murphy Lease or below the San Miguel formation on the Mathews Lease.
