American Exploration Corporation. has received a shale gas analysis completed by Schlumberger, evaluating the total gas in place within the Haynesville Formation (Shale) in the mineral leases held by the company in Mississippi. From existing well data, the assessment confirms similar reservoir attributes to the Haynesville Shale of northwestern Louisiana and demonstrates estimated gas in place of at least 300Bcf/section. This places more than 2 Tcf of estimated gas on the property.

Mainland Resources Inc. and American Exploration Corporation. entered into a Letter Agreement to jointly develop their contiguous acreage in Mississippi. Mainland Resources will commit approximately 8,500 net acres and American Exploration will commit approximately 5,000 net acres to the project. This represents a total of 13,500 net acres to the composite project area. Mainland Resources will be the Operator of the project area and has committed to pay 80% of the initial well (drilling and completion costs) to earn a 51% working interest in the well and total project area. American has agreed to pay 20% of the initial well (drilling and completion costs) to earn a 49% working interest in the well and total project area. Future costs (drilling, completions etc.) for oil and gas activities of the 13,500 net acre project area will be split on a 51%/49% basis between Mainland and American respectively. The 13,500-acre project area has been completely remapped with reprocessed seismic data. The results confirm the acreage is prospective for the Haynesville shale. Mainland has experienced previous success in the Haynesville shale through its participation in the drilling and completion of two producing wells in DeSoto parish, Louisiana. Mainland expects to complete a third well in DeSoto parish in the fourth quarter of 2009 or the first quarter of 2010.
