Schedule 13D

CUSIP No. 693677106

Preamble

This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed on February 7, 2007 (the “Schedule 13D”) by Eastbourne Capital Management, L.L.C (“Eastbourne”), Richard Jon Barry (“Barry”) and Black Bear Offshore Master Fund, L.P. (the “Offshore Fund” and, collectively with Eastbourne and Barry, the “Filers”), relating to shares of Common Stock of PYR Energy Corporation (the “Issuer”). All capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

On April 23, 2007, in connection with the concurrent execution by the Issuer of an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Samson Investment Company (“Parent”) and Samson Acquisition Corp. (“Purchaser”), the Offshore Fund and two of its affiliates, Black Bear Fund I, L.P. and Black Bear Fund II, L.L.C. (collectively, with the Offshore Fund, the “Eastbourne Parties”), entered into a Note Redemption Agreement with the Issuer and Parent. Pursuant to the Note Redemption Agreement, the Issuer shall, on a date no later than five business days following the purchase by Purchaser of shares of Stock in the tender offer contemplated by the Merger Agreement (such date, the “Redemption Date”), redeem the Notes held by the Eastbourne Parties for an amount in cash equal to the principal of and accrued interest on the Notes through the date immediately preceding the Redemption Date. The Eastbourne Parties agreed in the Note Redemption Agreement not to convert any of the Notes or to sell, transfer or otherwise convey the Notes prior to the Redemption Date, and further agreed to waive any preemptive rights they might have under the terms of the Notes that might arise in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The Note Redemption Agreement is an exhibit to this Amendment, and is incorporated herein by this reference in its entirety. The description contained in this Amendment of various terms of the Note Redemption Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Note Redemption Agreement itself.

The Filers currently intend to tender the shares of Stock they hold (other than any shares they may be deemed beneficially to hold by virtue of their ownership of Notes) into the tender offer by Purchaser contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The Filers reserve the right, however, to determine not to so tender their shares of Stock and, among other things, to otherwise dispose of them if an alternative more attractive opportunity arises.

Item 6.Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

As noted above, the Offshore Fund, together with the other Eastbourne Parties, is party to the Note Redemption Agreement.

Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

The Exhibit Index is incorporated herein by reference.
