The Semitropic syndicate holds a 100-per-cent working interest (75-per-cent net revenue  interest)  in  4,500  acres of oil and gas leased lands located in Kern county, Calif. The company continues to retain  a  25-per-cent  working  interest  in  the syndicate and is the project manager. Mr. Pollock also reports The Semitropic syndicate consists of the following consortium of  companies of which Olympic is the syndicate manager: Olympic Resources (Arizona) Ltd. VSE: ORL Working interest (WI): 25% Net revenue interest (NRI): 18.75% Dasher Energy Corp. VSE: DHR    WI: 25%    NRI: 18.75% Sur American Gold Corporation VSE: SUR    WI: 12.5%  NRI: 9.375% Goldwater Resources Ltd. VSE: GWR    WI: 10%    NRI: 7.5% Clifton Star Resources Inc. VSE: CFO    WI: 7.5%    NRI: 5.625% Herriman Oil & Gas Inc. PRIVATE     WI: 5%      NRI: 3.75% ITL Capital Corp. VSE: ICL    WI: 5%      NRI: 3.75% Braiden Resources Ltd. VSE: BZR    WI: 5%      NRI: 3.75% Rocraven Resources Ltd. VSE: RVR    WI: 5%      NRI: 3.75% The Semitropic syndicate  has  signed  a  joint  operating  agreement  with Production  Specialties  Company,  Bakersfield, Calif. Preparation work has now commenced to drill its first shallow target to a depth of 4,100 feet in the Mya sands. The planned spud date is Nov. 24, 1999. The Semitropic syndicate holds a 100-per-cent working interest (75-per-cent net  revenue  interest)  in 4,500 acres of oil and gas leased lands in Kern county, Calif. this represents one of the largest contiguous blocks of land in  the  San  Joaquin Valley near the Lost Hills play. The participants are also developing plans to drill a test well  to  the  approximate  depth  of 18,500  feet  to  test the subthrust fault play for Middle to Lower Miocene targets in the area. The Temblor is the focus of tremendous interest in the oil and gas industry since the blowout of East Lost Hills Bellevue No. 1 in late November, 1998. The recent activity at Cal canal suggests that most, if not all, structures in the deeper part of the basin are filled with hydrocarbons. The syndicate property lies 4.5 miles east of the East Lost Hills well over a portion of a deep-seated structure called the Buttonwillow fault, a major geological feature readily apparent on the seismic data. The syndicate  has acquired  an  extensive  seismic and geological database over its lands and adjoining acreage that indicate potential hydrocarbon traps in sands in the Temblor formation. A separate syndicate described at the Ekho project recently announced  that site  preparation  has  begun  for  the  first well of its deep oil and gas exploration play. The Ekho project's  chosen  location  lies  approximately three  miles  southeast  of  the  Semitropic syndicate lands in a trap very similar to that found on the Semitropic prospect along the same  geological trend. WARNING:   The   company   relies   upon    litigation    protection    for "forward-looking" statements.

I just hate to see media opportunists at work. That whole situation was very sad and I hope for the best outcome to those whom must intimately deal with it. Dan
