Rodriguez, Avalon’s CEO, commented, “Avalon’s
consistent revenue growth validates our business model of investing
in producing oil and gas properties. Our revenue growth will continue
as we expand our portfolio of oil and gas producing properties with
new acquisitions in the U.S. and Colombia.” Rodriguez added, “With
oil prices rising to over $100 a barrel, and production from Avalon’s
recently acquired Lake Washington property, revenues should continue
to increase substantially. Our recent acquisitions and market conditions
will contribute positive momentum for Avalon to continue to increase
our revenues for the next several quarters” added Mr. Rodriguez.
“We are excited about the potential of the Talora and Mecaya
Block properties recently acquired from Gran Tierra Energy (OTCBB:
GTRE)” said Avalon Director, Steve Newton. “The board
continues to review opportunities in Colombia that meet Avalon’s
well defined strategy” added Newton.
“Avalon is aggressively seeking to expand our oil and gas
production base, looking for underdeveloped assets to optimize production
and increase returns” said Menno Wiebe, Avalon Director and
exploration strategist. Mr. Wiebe continued “This quarter’s
performance reflects the company’s growing production income
stream and execution of our business model, to continue to build
shareholder equity.”
