(PCR) relating to conducting oil and natural gas exploration and development activities in Colombia, subject to the execution by PCR of definitive agreements with the Colombian National Agency of Hydrocarbons (ANH).

The exploration activities are to be conducted on two onshore exploration blocks located in the Putumayo basin in southwest Colombia known as the Putumayo 6 (PUT 6) and Putumayo 7 (PUT 7) exploration blocks. The PUT 6 and PUT 7 cover an area of approximately 574 and 167 square kilometers, respectively.

Additionally, GeoGlobal is to have the right to acquire up to an additional 40% participating interest in each of the PUT 6 and PUT 7 exploration blocks exercisable on or before September 21, 2010 unless otherwise agreed and extended by both parties, in consideration of payment to PCR of GeoGlobal’s 40% participating interest share of all third party costs incurred, including performance bonds and guarantees, through exercise of the rights.

(RGM), has agreed to guarantee the payment and performance of PCR’s obligations under the Colombian exploration and production contracts (the “Guarantee”).
