HEATHSVILLE, VIRGINIA (OTCBB: SHGPF) The Sharpe has acquired a
100% interest in Standard Energy Company. The cash and stock
transaction includes a cash payment of $250,000 and the issuance of
2 million shares of Sharpe common stock valued at $0.25 per share
is subject to regulatory approvals. This transaction completes a
previously announced (July 5, 2006) purchase agreement between the
parties for a large coal property located in Preston County, West
Virginia that was initially an investment in the property by
Sharpe. Sharpe's website address is
www.sharperesourcescorporation.com.
Standard Energy's primary asset includes 100% mineral ownership
interest in the all of coal seams on more than 17,000 acres in
Preston County, West Virginia. According to Qualified Person,
Roland M. Larsen the mineral ownership includes approximately six
(6) separate coal seams to include the Bakerstown, Upper Freeport,
Lower Freeport, Upper Kattanning and Lower Kattanning followed by
the deeper Clarion coal seam. Some of the Bakerstown and Upper
Freeport coal has been mined previously on this property. Sharpe
has completed an evaluation of the coal resources on the property
with the help of an independent coal resource consulting firm.
This property offers an excellent opportunity for the
development of a large coalbed methane (CBM) program encompassing
the ability to drill and complete a several hundred well drilling
program. Some of the coal resources are potentially mineable, as
indicated some of these coal resources have been mined previously.
In addition to the CBM program, this effort will include the
evaluation and selection of areas on the property that have
potential for the development of a coal gasification project. This
effort would include evaluating the surface and underground coal
gasification (UCG) coal mine development resource potential of this
property. UCG eliminates the need to mine the coal as well as
providing a combustible gas that can be used for industrial heating
and power generation. The gas can be processed to remove carbon
dioxide before it is sold, thereby providing a source of clean
energy with minimal green house gas emissions.
The Company is evaluating the possibility leasing additional
coal resources on property that adjoins Sharpe's current land
position.
