This news release contains statements regarding the testing, completion and production of a natural gas well, the acquisition of working interests in a license, the timing for such testing, completion and production of a natural gas well and acquisition of working interests in a license, as well as other expectations, plans, goals, objectives, assumptions or information about future events, conditions, results of operations or performance that may constitute forward-looking statements or information under applicable securities legislation. Such forward-looking statements or information are based on a number of assumptions which may prove to be incorrect.

If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize (or the consequences of such a development changes), or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes may vary materially from those forecasted or expected.
