IDNG NEWS Mr. Gregory C. Rotelli, CEO and President of Independence Energy stated, "We have had our eyes set on the Coleman South Leases land package for quite a while now, first as a minority exploration and development partner and now as the 100% sole owner. This was an opportunity that we couldn't pass up, not only because we believe the project has enormous upside, but also because we were able to negotiate a great deal with the previous holders to acquire the entire land package for no cash and without any dilution of our stock. We have already started to actively interview potential operators and going forward, we envision quickly beginning an exploration and development strategy at Coleman South that could potentially lead to drilling numerous new wells on the property."

The new Coleman South Lease project covers an area of approximately 1,400 acres, four miles southwest of Novice, Texas, a prolific oil and gas producing area. The region is best known for containing numerous producing horizons that are stratigraphically and structurally used as trapping mechanisms for oil and gas deposits. Based on a previous geological review of the Coleman South Leases, the Company believes many of these formations remain under-exploited or untouched in key offset locations. Several potential high-priority exploration drill targets (vertical and horizontal) have previously been identified and will be considered for immediate follow-up. Primary target formations include, but are not limited to, the Ellenburger Dolomite (4,400 feet), the Gray Sandstone (3,800 feet), Gardner Sandstone (3,700 feet), and Jennings Sandstone (3,600 feet).

The Ellenburger Dolomite was formed in Ordovician age, which was later eroded resulting in several highly structured trapping mechanisms. Ellenburger wells are known for their high initial rate of production and potential quick payout. Very few wells have been drilled deep enough to penetrate the Ellenburger in this area. One previously proposed location is offsetting two historic Ellenburger producers that had difficulties upon completion. The Hrubetz Ellenburger field has produced over 1.4 million barrels of oil and 2,400,000 mcf of gas.

The Gray Sandstone is trending north-south across most of the Coleman South Lease. One historic well in section 10 produced 105,542 barrels of oil and 311,832 mcf of gas. This well is thought to have an ideal offset location to the north. Most Gray Sand wells are known to produce above 50,000 barrels of oil equivalent. The Templeton Field is located two miles to the east in sections 1, 2, 39, and 40. Most of the production from the Templeton Field has come from the Gray formation (along with the Gardner and Jennings). This field has produced 1,567,678 barrels of oil and 4,148,320 mcf of gas.

The Gardner Sandstone is the middle sand in the Strawn Series. One of the more famous Gardner fields is the Novice Field, located just two miles to the north. The Novice Field made 3,313,211 barrels of oil and 3,764,370 mcf of gas. Two and a half miles northeast is the Rough Creek Ranch Field which has made 131,639 barrels of oil and 1,266,103 mcf of gas from the Gardner and is still productive.

The Whitley Field is also located on our acreage block. It has produced 3,481,290 barrels of oil and 1,012,697 mcf of gas from mostly the Jennings Sandstone. It has several potential offset locations remaining. The Jones-Hill Field located one mile east, in section 16, has produced 200,657 barrels of oil and 11,051 mcf of gas to date from four Jennings wells. The CJC Field located in sections 5, 118, and 119 has produced 874,678 barrels of oil and 1,581,839 mcf of gas from 19 Jennings wells.

Further updates regarding the Company's near term exploration and development strategy at the Coleman South project and other Independence Energy business will be provided in the near future.
