LUXED News:
January 7 - Lux Energy Enters Into Negotiations for a Substantial Position in "E" Well at Its West
Lux Energy Corp. (OTCBB: LUXED), an oil and gas production and exploration company, announced that it is negotiating an agreement with the Operator of its West Central Alberta project near Edmonton to acquire a substantial working interest in the "E" well. Lux Energy currently owns positions in A, B, C and D wells in adjoining oil and gas leases.
"E" well is a priority target supported by 3D seismic structure definition. The "E" well is at an offset location to the Company's previously drilled "C" well. The "C" lease is successfully producing with secondary gas credits. This location is a topographic high where fluids naturally migrate, as was witnessed in "C" well. The operator's engineers and technicians prospect that the "E" well should encounter substantial liquids in the target reservoir. The operator points out that the "C" well is free-flowing and not yet stimulated but is successfully producing. This bodes well for the prospects of "E" well. The gathering systems and production facilities are on location and in operation, therefore the well completion can transfer to production status immediately. Revenue and cash flow are a critical feature of this "E" project.
Shane Broesky, President of Lux Energy Corp., comments, "The petroleum engineering and geological surveys of the 'E' lease indicate a superior opportunity. It is the Company's primary target in the Barhead prospects and we are optimistic that this unique opportunity to participate in this proven field will be of great benefit to Lux Energy."

January 6 - United States Oil & Gas Corporation Closes Acquisition of North Dakota Services Company; to Take Advantage of Proximity to Bakken Formation; Existing Propane Customer Sales Growth Expected to Double
United States Oil & Gas Corporation (OTC: USOG), a growing oil and gas products, services and technology company, is pleased to announce that it has closed its acquisition of United Oil ("United"), a profitable North Dakota-based distributor of refined fuels and other oil-based products. United, along with Turnbull Oil, which USOG purchased in May 2009, is now a wholly owned operating subsidiary of USOG. The purchase was made using a combination of cash, stock and promissory note.
During 2010, the Company will explore available efficiencies from the combined operations with Turnbull. CEO, Alex Tawse commented, "One of our competitive strengths is that our management possesses a unique experience and skill set with improvement of operational efficiencies. We will utilize that strength to lower costs and increase profit."
In addition, there is also significant opportunity for growth through marketing both at the local level and through the increased exposure that comes with being a public company. Notwithstanding the fact that to date United has done very little to no advertising or direct marketing, revenue is expected to total $8 million for the year ending December 31, 2009, with steady growth moving forward. Revenue for 2008 totaled $7 million, to-date the company's best on record. More details of United's earnings will be provided after the quarter ends.
Importantly, the Bakken Formation discovery in
Last year, United signed 156 new propane customers, 65 of which were added in the fourth quarter alone. During 2010, the company expects to deliver 700,000 gallons of propane to its existing customer base. This represents a 54% increase over sales during 2009. On a dollar basis it equates to approximately $1.25 million of revenue at today's prices.
As the price of propane has increased materially in recent months, United has also benefited from the summer purchase of forward hedges for a significant portion of its propane supply. Now selling at around $1.80 per gallon in N. Dakota, propane prices have risen to over 90% since the summer.
As previously reported, USOG's purchase of United includes all property, equipment and six acres of developable land. Besides United Oil and Gas, Inc., United Propane, United C-Store and an additional gas station and C-store that will soon be operational are part of the acquisition.
Management, which has over 30 years experience in the industry, is contracted to remain with the business for a minimum of three years. The company was started in 2003, and includes a bulk storage plant, and a fleet of tanker trucks.

December 28 - Biomagnetics to Become Fully Reporting; CEO Comments on Corporate Growth Plans and Strength of Balance Sheet
Biomagnetics Diagnostics Corp. (OTC: BMGP), a developer of revolutionary diagnostic systems and technology for HIV, hepatitis, tuberculosis, and malaria detection, announced it is instituting several actions to become a fully reporting organization, improve transparency to investors and migrate the trading of its common shares to the over-the-counter market. Additionally, corporate management is expressing confidence in achieving growth objectives for 2010.
“With the growth we expect during 2010 it will be important for us to provide full transparency to our investors and other stakeholders," commented Clayton Hardman, CEO of Biomagnetics Diagnostics. “Toward this aim, we have begun implementing plans to complete a full financial audit and to file these audit results with both Pink OTC Markets, Inc. and the Securities and Exchange Commission. We expect these actions to allow us to not only become a fully reporting organization, but also to make us eligible to trade our shares on the OTC market.
These actions include the completion of a full financial audit and the filing of financial disclosure information with Pink OTC Markets Inc. and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Additionally, the Company will be working with several broker-dealers on Rule 15c2-11 documentation for submission to FINRA in order to receive OTCBB quotation clearance.
“Our balance sheet remains very strong with a meaningful cash balance and minimal debt. We have been able to accomplish this with only very minimal fund-raising activities. This has allowed us to keep the number of total outstanding shares at only approximately 64 million. While we do not anticipate the need to raise growth capital, as our working capital balances are already robust, it is very comforting for us to have the strong backing of our shareholders, many of whom are eager to provide us additional growth capital should it be required. Simply put - our financial position is very strong, which will allow us to aggressively implement our growth strategies. With a total market capitalization of approximately $9 million, we believe our common shares are significantly undervalued.”
“Mr. Hardman continued, “While we realized significant accomplishments in the last four months of 2009, we expect the acceleration of developments in the first half of 2010. During the first quarter, we expect to enter into several certifications in
According to the World Health Organization, some 3.2 billion people, or about half the world's population is at risk of malaria transmission in 107 countries and territories worldwide.

In the case of malaria, early detection substantially improves treatability and survivability.
