VANCOUVER, Nov. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Formally RFMR
Acquisition Corp. (Pink Sheets: RFAC) ("RFMR") now Great Northern
Oilsands, Inc. (Pink Sheets: GNNO) (the "Company") announced today
the details of its name change and changes to its officers and
directors. Effective on October 31, 2006, the Company appointed
David Lane as its President. Mr. Lane will serve as the Company's
Secretary and Treasurer. Additionally, Mr. Lane will fill a vacancy
in the Board of Directors. In addition to changing its Officers,
the Company will change its focus from real estate investing to the
development of energy sources. Among other things, the Company will
focus on the extraction of petroleum from the Canadian oilsands
which many believe contain the second largest known reserve of oil
in the world after Saudi Arabia. The reserves contain an estimated
175 billion barrels trapped in a complex mixture of sand, water and
clay. The Company believes that the reserves are abundant,
accessible, and economically affordable to recover - especially at
today's crude oil prices. According to some estimates, the oil sand
deposits in northern Alberta could contain 1.7 to 2.5 trillion
barrels of oil, more than all the presently known reserves of the
Middle East. Alberta's oil sands deposits were described by Time
Magazine as "Canada's greatest buried energy treasure," one that
"could satisfy the world's demand for petroleum for the next
century." To reflect its new direction, the Company has changed its
name to Great Northern Oilsands, Inc. and amended its Certificate
of Incorporation with the State of Nevada effective November 14,
2006 to reflect this change. "Previous attempts to develop
alternate sources of oil failed due to the high cost of extraction
and refinement. The record prices for oil caused by an increased
demand and inconsistent supply have the potential of making this
development a profitable venture. The market conditions are ripe
for another source of oil in North America, we hope to fill this
void through the development of this and other sources of
petroleum," said President, David Lane. Effective on the open of
business, November 14, 2006, the authorized shares of the common
stock will be increased to 5,000,000,000. To reflect the name
change and increase in authorized shares, the trading symbol has
been changed to "GNNO". Forward-Looking Statements: Except for the
