On 15 July 2009, Shelton Canada Corp. ("Shelton") (TSX VENTURE:STO) announced
that it had entered into a plan of arrangement agreement with Petrosibir AB
("Petrosibir"), a publicly traded Swedish company listed on the Nordic Growth
Market ("NGM") in Sweden (PETS). Petrosibir recently published a press release
with the following license expansion update.


Expansion continues with third license

Petrosibir has been awarded yet another license in the Russian republic of
Bashkiria. With an area of 300 square kilometers, the new license Suyanovskoye
is the largest thus far for the company and is surrounded by other producing oil
fields. In less than a month, Petrosibir has increased its original total
license area by a factor of ten, resulting in a continuous block of 540 square
kilometers.


"Petrosibir is in the midst of a positive spiral. In the course of one month, we
have increased our original license area by a factor of ten. We have also found
oil with good flow rates in our first two wells on Rustamovskoye. I look with
confidence forward to exploring the potential of the Suyanovskoye block," says
Robert Karlsson, CEO of Petrosibir.


The Suyanovskoye license is a combined exploration and production license valid
through 31 December 2035. Petrosibir was awarded the license at auction.
Bashneft, the leading oil company in Bashkiria, currently produces oil from the
neighboring fields Shimskoye, Kungakskoye and Islamovskoye. Around 15 wells were
drilled in the license area during the Soviet era, and oil was intercepted in
horizons from the geological Carboniferous period. None of the Soviet wells were
drilled as far down as the Devonian period, where Petrosibir recently measured
excellent oil flow rates in the neighboring Rustamovskoye block, indicating
further potential. In keeping with the terms of the Suyanovskoye license,
Petrosibir will initiate drilling the first of three exploration wells within
three years.


Petrosibir is in the final phase of the exploration program on Rustamovskoye.
The company has found gas and oil with commercial flow rates and estimates that
oil production will commence in 2010. Once oil production is under way, the
company will have a balanced portfolio of cash flow-generating oil production
from the Rustamovskoye block, and exploration activities on the recently-awarded
license blocks Aysky and Suyanovskoye.
