The Company presently holds a 98,000 square kilometer exploration claim in the Dobroudja Basin located in northeast Bulgaria (the “Vranino Block”). The Company intends to conduct exploration activities over a 5 year period including seismic processing and the drilling of, at minimum, six test wells for a minimum cost of approximately US$5,000,000. On October 25, 2010, an appeal against the Bulgarian Council of Ministers decision to award the Vranino Block to the Company was filed with the Supreme Administrative Court of Bulgaria and on March 26, 2012 the Court upheld the Company’s claim to the Vranino property and rejected the appeal. On September 14, 2012, the Company was served with an appeal against the July 17, 2012 Fifth Division Supreme Court of Bulgaria’s decision to uphold the award of the Vranino license to the Company.
