Terra Energy & Resource Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: TEGR), a
natural resource exploration services technology company, announces
that the Company has signed a Memo of Understanding with King
Resources, LLC (KR), according to which the Company and KR plan to
form a joint venture centered on the formation of a diversified oil
and gas investment fund (Fund), to raise up to $50 million, with
the Company and KR serving as general partners.
The plan is to significantly increase the Fund's exploration
success rate via investments that would be selected using the
Company's advanced proprietary exploration technologies, in
addition to the traditional industry due diligence. The Fund would
initially concentrate on US onshore late stage non-operated
drilling projects. Terra Energy & Resource Technologies,
through a services subsidiary, will provide the Terra Technologies
to the Fund receiving 25% economic interest in the JV as well as
projected 2.5% equity and 5% carried interest in the Fund.
"Both Terra and King Resources are dedicated to the vision of
innovative exploration technologies, being of paramount importance
in making the exploration process significantly less risky and
therefore substantially more economically viable than the
traditional industry approach. The parties decided to unify their
efforts because together they have a number of unique technologies,
inventor class specialists and scientists, top managers, and strong
industry and financial connections, creating a powerful business
entity," said Dr. Alexandre Agaian, President of Terra Energy &
Resource Technologies, Inc.
"The Fund's economics conservatively project for the investors
to achieve industry leading returns on investment at expedient
distribution rates based on investing in established projects ready
for near term drilling operations," said John King, King Resources'
Chief Executive Officer. "We project a sizable increase in
exploration success rate due to utilization of our innovative
exploration technologies."
"It's very exciting that Terra Energy & Resource
Technologies has found a synergistic partner with the similar
vision and credo to bring substantially enhanced economic success
to the exploration field through new and exciting technologies,"
said Dmitry Vilbaum, the Company's Chief Executive Officer.
