TrueStar Operations Update
TrueStar Petroleum announces the following
updates and amendments to our current operations.
Our January 3, 2008 press release stated
that the involuntary bankruptcy petition against TrueStar Petroleum Corporation
was "invalid," but the Company regrets the choice of the word " invalid " and
simply meant to inform everyone that all of the parties agreed to the dismissal
as part of a more comprehensive agreement.
TrueStar Petroleum Corporation and Petron
Resources, LP (Petron), an independent, Texas based, oil and gas exploration
company, have mutually agreed to terminate the agreement announced in April
2007. Although TrueStar remains optimistic that the 90% portion of the
license will be reassigned, the structure of the TrueStar/Petron agreement no
longer fits either company's immediate goals. TrueStar is currently
working with potential partners, including Petron, to construct a more workable
agreement for all.
TrueStar Barnett, LLC, currently under the
protection of the US Federal Bankruptcy Court, has entered into an agreement
with Meagher Oil & Gas Properties Inc. to broker the sale of the properties
in the East Newark Field in Texas. The agreement also has provisions that
will allow for the refinancing of the properties. "By keeping both
options open, the Company is able to explore all available avenues," says Dick
Shuster, "which should allow TrueStar Barnett to come out of the Bankruptcy
protection while paying off all creditors."
In other corporate news, TrueStar Petroleum
Corporation has entered into negotiations for the disposition of some of its
gold assets in California. Information will be released as it becomes
available. About TrueStar
TrueStar Petroleum Corporation is an oil and
gas exploration, development, and production company. TrueStar has
interests in 34 producing gas wells in the Barnett Shale gas play in Texas and
a 10% interest in a license for oil and gas development on 554,000 acres in
Guatemala, and is waiting the reassignment of the remaining 90% interest in the
554,000 acre License. Working interest partners in Texas include publicly
