About Arrow
Exploration Corp.
Arrow Exploration Corp. (operating in Colombia via a
branch of its 100% owned subsidiary Carrao Energy S.A.) is a
publicly traded company with a portfolio of premier Colombian oil
assets that are underexploited, under-explored and offer high
potential growth. The Company's business plan is to
expand oil production from some of Colombia's most
active basins, including the Llanos, Middle Magdalena Valley (MMV)
and Putumayo Basin. The asset base is predominantly operated with
high working interests, and the Brent-linked light oil pricing
exposure combines with low royalties to yield attractive potential
operating margins. Arrow's 50% interest in the Tapir
Block is contingent on the assignment by Ecopetrol SA of such
interest to Arrow. Arrow's seasoned team is led by a
hands-on executive team supported by an experienced board. Arrow is
listed on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange and on TSX
Venture Exchange under the symbol "AXL".
