Kennedy -1H Well

The operator advises that a 4-1/2 inch liner has been run to a total depth of
16,530 feet and been cemented in place. Operations continue to prepare the well
for the planned extensive fracture stimulation testing program.

A further update will be given when the date for commencement of the fracture
stimulation and testing program becomes known.

Since our last report completion tubing has been re-run and testing has just
begun. Early swabbing has recovered hydrocarbons. The significance of the
hydrocarbons cannot be determined until the well has stabilized and the test has
run for an extended period.
