AM Oil Resources & Technology Inc. (OTCBB: AMOR) Closed at $0.80. Today announced that the Company has adopted a strategy of pursuing air time and space on print and media outlets to increase awareness of its patented products and technologies for maximizing crude oil recovery.

Targeting approximately 480,000 marginal wells in the United States, the Company is ideally positioned to provide an environmentally safe and cost-effective method of maximizing oil production.
