NOSTRA TERRA OIL AND GAS COMPANY PLC
("NTOG" or the "Company")
AGM Statement
24 July 2009
At the Company's Annual General Meeting to be held at 12:30pm today, the
Chairman will be making the following statement:
"I would like to take the opportunity to update shareholders on the Company's
strategy moving forward following the appointment of Mr Matt Lofgran as our new
CEO and the announcement on 15 July of the acquisition of oil and gas properties
in Kansas, USA.
"In order to increase the returns for shareholders we feel the best strategy
currently is to acquire oil and gas assets in areas of low political risk, with
low geological risk, with existing production or near production. On 15 July
2009 we announced the first acquisitions in line with this strategy. We are
very happy to have acquired these properties. Each property has existing
wellbore, which should result in substantial savings of time and money. This
also translates to a quicker and more economical route to create production for
NTOG. At the same time we announced a partnership with Hewitt Petroleum, Inc
(HPI) where HPI will develop the properties with us and will act as the
operator. HPI is a proven operator in the area and adds substantial value to
the partnership.
"Your Board is currently working up a development plan for the acquisitions and
is in the process of obtaining updated reserve reports for the properties. We
will make announcements to the market as appropriate, initially on the Hoffman
property. The Directors are pleased with the initial feedback and are also
encouraged by initial flow rates from a new well on an adjacent lease, one
kilometre from our property which targets the same zones.
"We are very excited with the Company's prospects and look forward to updating
shareholders over the coming months."
