TSX - Venture: TPC

Involuntary Bankruptcy Dismissed


TrueStar Petroleum Corporation announces today that the involuntary bankruptcy petition filed against the Company in Texas by Optima Services International Ltd., has been dismissed. TrueStar has been advised that the Order Granting Motion for Dismissal was signed and entered yesterday in the state of Texas.

This dismissal only pertains to the involuntary action filed against TrueStar Petroleum Corporation. The subsidiary, TrueStar Barnett LLC, remains under the protection of the courts as we work out the solution to pay all of the creditors.

"Having the invalid filing dismissed took longer than anticipated, but in putting the involuntary action behind us, we can now focus on improving shareholder value," says Dick Shuster, CEO and Chair.
