to buy securities.
Exploration Blocks Four, Five, and Dumre
The PSC has a seven-year term with three exploration periods. Upon

production periods of 25 years plus extensions at the Company′s option.
Block Four is located in southeast Albania, bordering on Greece; Block
Five is located in southwest Albania next to the Adriatic Sea; and Block
