as a result of numerous known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other
factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, including, without
limitation;
whether the Company's exploration and development activities respecting its
prospects will be successful or that material volumes of petroleum and natural
gas reserves will be encountered, or if encountered can be produced on a
commercial basis; the ultimate size and scope of any hydrocarbon bearing
formations on its lands; that drilling operations on its lands will be
successful such that further development activities in these areas are

ability of Donnycreek to successfully market its oil and natural gas products;
changes in commodity prices; changes in the demand for or supply of the

obligations to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements, whether

In this news release the calculation of barrels of oil equivalent (boe) is
calculated at a conversion rate of six thousand cubic feet (6 mcf) of natural
gas for one barrel (bbl) of oil based on an energy equivalency conversion
method. Boes may be misleading particularly if used in isolation. A boe
conversion ratio of 6 mcf: 1 bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion
method primarily applicable to the burner tip and does not represent a value
equivalency at the wellhead. Given that the value ratio based on the current
price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from
the energy equivalency of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be
misleading as an indication of value.
