The proceeds of the Offering will be used to pay for capital expenditures related to a drilling program in Ohio, USA as described more fully in a press release dated December 12, 2017. The additional funds raised over the initial $450,000, will be used for the acquisition of oil and gas leases complementary to lands already in the program, and for additional geological and engineering support.
