On a news release dated September 18, 2003, Fairchild announced that a representative for the company was to travel to the Ukraine to take part in presentations regarding massive under developed oil and gas opportunities. Fairchild is now pleased to report that the company has signed an agreement with NAFTOGAZ, the Ukraine state oil company, whereby Fairchild is now in official negotiations with NAFTOGAZ to acquire a number of oil and gas prospects.
