Changes and Updates to Phase Work Commitments:
February 8, 2010

This allowed the consurtium time to complete a four well testing and stimulation program in order to complete the appraisal of the block, the results of which are not yet known. After completion of the test results, all areas not defined as a Commercial Discovery will be relinquished under the terms of the PSA as the consortium has elected not to proceed to Phase II.
