Item 8.01                   Other Events:

 

The company announced today the commencement of an accredited investor only private placement offering. The company plans to raise between $900,000 minimum offering and $1,500,000 maximum offering by June 15, 2008. Since the offering is limited to less than thirty-five accredited investors, the offering materials are not deemed appropriate for general distribution, are not attached and will be made available only to those known to be accredited investors. The essential terms of the private placement are as follows:

 

 

Offering of 500,000 restricted common stock (maximum) at $3.00/share or 300,000 shares minimum, $900,000 to $1,500,000.

 

 

Offering closes June 15, 2008.

 

 

Accredited only private placement offering to be sold primarily or exclusively to California investors.

 

 

Approximately $100,000 of net maximum offering proceeds to be applied for operations, $25,000 for debt repayment and $1,372,000 for oil and gas acquisition, development and operations.

 

DATED this 16th day of May, 2008.
