Exhibit 99.1

Avalon Announces that the Janssen #-1A is Producing Gas and Condensate
Tuesday June 26, 6:00 am ET

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Avalon Oil & Gas, Inc., (OTCBB:AOGN - News) is
pleased to announce that Tradestar Resources reports that the Janssen #-1A well
in Karnes County, Texas has been put into production. Avalon owns a 15% Working
Interest in the well.

The well was perforated at approximately the 10,300 foot interval in the Roeder
Sand (Wilcox Sand Series). The well was perforated with 6,000 feet of water
fluid in the tubing to help prevent any extreme gas pressure blowing the
perforation tools up the hole. The well went on a low vacuum, but after a few
days of slow open flowback and a fluid swabbing procedure in the tubing, the
well began to show good gas flow. There is still a leveling off period before
the daily gas flow rate can be established, but the well has been flowing at an
average rate of 330 thousand cubic feet of gas per day for last five days along
with 10 to 20 barrels of high grade condensate.

At present the well is flowing into the sales line without the need of a gas
compressor. It is anticipated that a small gas compressor will be required to
maintain a consistent daily flow rate. This is to prevent the possibility of not
being able to overcome the pipeline pressure being too high for the wells'
natural flowing pressure to enter into the sales line.

The Janssen #-1A has a gas sales contract that fluctuates monthly with the
Houston Ship Channel price index and the liquid condensate will be sold at the
monthly spot price for product in the regional Texas area. Avalon and the other
Participating Partners should expect revenue distribution in July for the
hydrocarbon products sold from the Janssen #-1A well. This well should produce
revenues for many years to come.
