Item 2.01 - Disposition of Assets
FARMOUT OF INTEREST IN WA-342-P (CORNEA JOINT VENTURE)
Our wholly owned subsidiary, Cornea Oil & Gas Pty Ltd (“Cornea Oil”), signed a farmout agreement with Coldron Pty Ltd (“Coldron”) on June 26, 2011. Coldron will earn an 8.5% interest in an Australian offshore petroleum exploration permit WA-342-P (“Permit”). Following the farmout Cornea Oil now holds an 8.5% participant interest in the permit.
Coldron will earn the interest by reimbursing Cornea Oil an amount of AUD $1,591,480 (USD $1,526,600) on account of the documented total costs incurred by Cornea Oil directly relating to the exploration of the permit and by meeting and paying 50% of Cornea Oil’s remaining 8.5% participating interest proportion of the cost of operations carried out in accordance with the Cornea Joint Venture Operation Agreement until such time as Coldron has expended an amount AUD$1,000,000 (USD$931,185) on behalf of Cornea Oil with respect to the remaining 8.5% participating interest retained by Cornea Oil.
Subsequent to June 30, 2011 the funds received from Coldron have been utilized in meeting a large proportion of our cash calls outstanding to the Braveheart Joint Venture for the drilling of the Braveheart-1 exploration well in 2010. They were also used to repay funding provided to AOGC by Great Missenden Holdings Pty Ltd and the continuing operations of AOGC.
An amount of AUD$ 769,193 (USD$716,261) remains outstanding to the operator of the Braveheart Joint Venture and the Cornea Joint Venture pursuant to the facility agreement reached in October 2010.
Coldron Pty Ltd and Great Missenden Holdings Pty Ltd are affiliate Australian private companies of EG Albers, President and shareholder of AOGC.
