The Company is also pleased to announce that it has acquired a 3% net profit interest of future hydrocarbon production in the Pirity Block concession located in the Republic of Paraguay. The acquisition is an arm's length transaction for consideration of US$25,000 and 100,000 warrants ("Pirity Warrants") where each Pirity Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one additional Common Share for a price of CAD$3.00 per share.

The Warrants, Pirity Warrants and the Common Shares issuable on exercise of the Warrants or the Pirity Warrants are each subject to a four-month hold period from the date of issuance in accordance with applicable securities laws.
