The Company, through its subsidiary, Petrolympia, holds a 100% interest in four (4) oil and
exploration permits covering 73,021 hectares in the St. Lawrence Lowlands located on the south
shore of the St. Lawrence River directly south of the City of Valleyfield, less than 30km
southwest of Montreal.
The permits block lies in the south-western portion of the St. Lawrence Lowlands sedimentary
basin in the shallow part of a more or less undisturbed Ordovician carbonate platform. Three
permits covering 56,622 hectares were granted in April 2006 by the Québec government. In
April 2007, Petrolympia increased the size of the block in acquiring a fourth permit covering an
area of some 16,399 hectares.
Numerous paved and gravel roads exist throughout the permitted area. A secondary gas pipeline
connected to the main Gaz Metro line to the north of the St. Lawrence River runs across the
property. The area is believed to have potential for shallow gas production. The permits are
located at short distance of important normal faults bringing the Utica Formation source rocks in
contact with potential reservoir rocks in the Beekmantown and Potsdam Formations. Possible
trapping mechanisms for gas accumulation in the eastern part of the property are inferred from
surface geology.
On May 16, 2008, the Company announced that it entered into a binding letter of agreement (the
"Agreement") with Ressource & Énergie Squatex inc. ("Squatex") pursuant to which
Petrolympic will acquire a 30% legal and beneficial interest in 36 exploration permits totaling
672,438 hectares in the St. Lawrence Lowlands, Bas St-Laurent and Gaspé Peninsula in Québec
(the "Transaction"). Upon signing of the Agreement, Petrolympic made an initial payment of
$500,000 to Squatex in order to cover certain outstanding payments on the permits. In order to
complete the acquisition of the interest in the Squatex properties, Petrolympic is required to
make additional cash payments of $1,000,000 on June 30, 2008 and $1,000,000 on July 31,
2008, with $1.8 million of such funds to be used for exploration of the properties and $200,000
made available to Squatex for its working capital. If Petrolympic does not make these payments
for any reason, it will convert the initial $500,000 payment to an 8% equity interest in Squatex.
The Transaction remains subject to Petrolympic's satisfactory due diligence.
EXPLORATION PROGRAM
The Company has completed the interpretation of the seismic data acquired in late 2006 and
decided to acquire a further 25 km of seismic data on its Gaspé properties. The Company
anticipates defining one or more drill targets based on the already identified anomalies and
interpretation of the seismic data and plans to drill one 1,500m well in the fall of 2008. On its St.
Lawrence Lowlands property, the Company will drill a first 400m well in the spring of 2008 to
test the possibility for shallow gas production.
