PetroKamchatka Plc Announces Completion of the Acquisition of

Bluerock Acquisition Corp. and US$9.3 million Equity Financing

CALGARY, November 27, 2009 – PetroKamchatka Plc ("PetroKamchatka"), a Jersey company,

is pleased to announce that it has successfully completed an internal corporate reorganization (the

"Reorganization"), a brokered private placement financing (the "Financing") and the previously

announced arrangement ("Arrangement") under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) between

PetroKamchatka, Bluerock Acquisition Corp. ("Bluerock") and the holders of common shares of

Bluerock ("Bluerock Shareholders").

The Reorganization

On November 23, 2009, PetroKamchatka acquired approximately 94% of the issued shares and

warrants of PetroKamchatka Resources Plc, Cyprus. On November 25, 2009, PetroKamchatka

initiated the process to complete the acquisition of the remaining shares and warrants of

PetroKamchatka Resources Plc, which is expected to be completed prior to December 31, 2009.

The Reorganization was completed to ensure that the parent company of the PetroKamchatka

group of companies is domiciled in a jurisdiction that would enable the PetroKamchatka group to

take advantage of international equity markets and to be listed on the TSX Venture Exchange.

This is expected to facilitate raising additional capital as necessary to develop PetroKamchatka’s

Russian exploration licences and to develop a liquid market for shareholders to trade their shares.

The day to day management and operations of the Russian operating subsidiaries will continue to

be exercised by PetroKamchatka Resources Plc, Cyprus.

The Arrangement

Then, on November 26, 2009, PetroKamchatka acquired all of the common shares of Bluerock

pursuant to the Arrangement. Bluerock, listed on the TSX Venture Exchange, is a capital pool

company with no material assets or operations. The Arrangement was approved at the special

meeting of Bluerock Shareholders and by the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta on November

25, 2009. Bluerock Shareholders voted unanimously in favour of the Arrangement resolution.

The Arrangement constitutes Bluerock's "qualifying transaction" under the rules of the TSX

Venture Exchange. Details of the Arrangement are outlined in Bluerock’s Management

Information Circular dated October 23, 2009, a copy of which is available at www.sedar.com

under Bluerock's SEDAR profile.

Pursuant to the Arrangement, each Bluerock Shareholder received 0.46837 of a common share of

PetroKamchatka ("PetroKamchatka Share") for each Bluerock share held. All of the outstanding

options to acquire common shares of Bluerock were either exercised or cancelled prior to the

effective date of the Arrangement. PetroKamchatka issued approximately 6.6 million

PetroKamchatka Shares to former Bluerock Shareholders.

Immediately prior to completion of the Arrangement, Bluerock distributed a cash dividend of

.035 per share to all Bluerock Shareholders of record on November 25, 2009.

In addition, all the directors and officers of Bluerock resigned from Bluerock effective at the time

of the Arrangement.

The Financing

PetroKamchatka is also pleased to announce that it completed the Financing of 61,828,487

subscription receipts ("Subscription Receipts") of 1490697Alberta Ltd., a wholly-owned

subsidiary of PetroKamchatka, at a price of US
.15 per Subscription Receipt for gross proceeds

of US$9,274,273.05. Canaccord Capital Corporation and Renaissance Securities (Cyprus)

Limited, as joint book runners, and Fox-Davies Capital Limited (collectively, the "Agents") were

the agents for the Financing.

Each Subscription Receipt was converted into one PetroKamchatka Share under the provisions of

the Arrangement and upon completion of the Arrangement without any act or formality on the

part of the holder of such Subscription Receipt.

The Financing was made pursuant to private placement exemptions under applicable securities

legislation. The net proceeds from the Financing assisted PetroKamchatka to satisfy the

minimum listing requirements of the TSX Venture Exchange and will be used to fund

PetroKamchatka's ongoing exploration operations in the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia.

The Agents under the Financing received an aggregate cash fee equal to US$486,992.74 and

received an aggregate 1,365,834 broker warrants ("Broker Warrants") pursuant to the Financing.

Each Broker Warrant may be exercised to acquire one PetroKamchatka Share at a price of

US
.15 per share, subject to adjustment, until November 19, 2011. The Broker Warrants (and

the underlying PetroKamchatka Shares) are subject to a four-month hold period that will expire

on March 20, 2010.

After giving effect to the Reorganization, the Arrangement and the Financing, PetroKamchatka

will have approximately 488 million common shares, 21 million warrants, and 21 million options

outstanding.

The common shares of PetroKamchatka have been conditionally approved for listing on the TSX

Venture Exchange under the trading symbol "PKP". The TSX Venture Exchange is expected to

issue a bulletin on or about December 1, 2009 with respect to the date of commencement of

trading of the PetroKamchatka Shares, anticipated to be on or about December 4, 2009. The

common shares of Bluerock will continue to be halted from trading and will be de-listed from the

TSX Venture Exchange upon the commencement of trading of the PetroKamchatka Shares.

Information Regarding PetroKamchatka

PetroKamchatka, established under the laws of Jersey, is an international junior oil and natural

gas exploration company with core properties located in the Kamchatka Krai in the Kamchatka

Peninsula of the Russian Federation. PetroKamchatka also holds, directly or indirectly, beneficial

interests in two drilling rigs, other ancillary oilfield equipment, and minor exploration lands in

British Columbia. PetroKamchatka does not have any reserves, production or revenue to date in

respect of its oil and natural gas activities. As a result of the Arrangement, PetroKamchatka

became a reporting issuer in each of British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario and is subject to

continuous disclosure obligations under the securities laws of such jurisdictions.

WSLegal\046012\00023\5669694v4

The board of directors and management of PetroKamchatka have extensive international oil and

gas experience, including within Russia. The board of directors includes: Yoon Suck Nam,

Chairman; Graeme Phipps, President & CEO; Jonathan Morley-Kirk; Adam Landes; Teck Soon

Kong; and, Robert McClinton. The management team includes: Rustem Chinakaev, Senior Vice

President, Russian Operations; Allan H. Stevens, Chief Financial Officer; Brian A. Skinner,

Senior Vice President, Exploration; Henry Wolski, Vice President, Production Operations; Calvin

Brackman, Vice President, Corporate Planning; Darrell Keiver, Senior Exploration Advisor and

Chief Geologist; Ken Cullen, Senior Financial Advisor, Brian Johnson, Senior Engineering

Advisor; and, Michelle Lemmens, Controller.

PetroKamchatka's strategy for achieving growth is to source and operate onshore exploration

projects in Kamchatka with the potential for large, low-cost reserves. PetroKamchatka has

secured seven onshore exploration licences representing an aggregate 3,281,755 net hectares, a

very significant land position in this potentially prolific hydrocarbon basin. Numerous prospects

and leads in the Tigil Block and Icha Block areas of the Kamchatka Peninsula have been

identified on modern 2D seismic. KNOC Kamchatka Petroleum Limited, a company owned 55%

by Korea National Oil Corporation, and the Koryakia Property Fund, an investment agency of the

Koryakia Oblast Administration, Kamchatka, have 50% and 5% interests, respectively, in the

Tigil and Icha Blocks in Kamchatka.

A report prepared for PetroKamchatka by DeGolyer and MacNaughton, independent reserves

engineers, provides an estimate of gross prospective resources associated with the Tigil, Icha and

Urginskaya Blocks in the Kamchatka region. The four remaining Kamchatka exploration blocks,

100% owned by PetroKamchatka, were acquired in September, 2009, and postdate inclusion in

the DeGolyer and MacNaughton report. The report can be viewed on the PetroKamchatka

placeholder website at www.petrokamchatka.com. The full website is expected to be up and

running within the next two weeks.

PetroKamchatka, through its indirect interest in CJSC Tigil Exploration, operates and spudded its

first well in late October, 2009. The well is proceeding as planned and PetroKamchatka expects

to be at the intermediate casing point (approx. 1,500 metres) within one week. This well is

expected to reach a target depth of 3,000 metres within 60 days from the spud date, with potential

testing to follow. PetroKamchatka plans for three exploration wells to be drilled from the fall of

2009 through to the winter of 2010-2011. The second well location has been identified on the

Tigil Block. It is expected to be completed and tested from April to June 2010. The third well

may be a delineation well in the Tigil Block or an exploration well, depending upon the drilling

results of the first two wells and logistical considerations.

Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is

defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy

or accuracy of this release.
