PGPM Pilgrim Petroleum Corporation (CE)

Pilgrim Petroleum Corporation (Pink Sheets:PGPM) announced today results and explanation of Gustavson preliminary resource report, in addition to future plans to further valuate our properties. Pilgrim Petroleum's initial estimation of potential resources was based on an early or "pre-development" stage, in which estimates are restricted to volumetric calculations under predeterministic methods. According to Gustavson, Pilgrim Petroleum's portfolio of properties presents a high probability of drilling success, namely about 2 out of 3 exploratory wells are likely to discover oil or gas in amounts of 1 million barrels of oil or the equivalent in gas (4-6 BCF). Therefore, it is most likely that 4 fields (3 drilling targets on two land positions at 2/3 success) will be found. The P50 resource estimate is therefore 4 million barrels of oil equivalent. They also provided a rough estimate of approximately $10 million for the exploration/drilling campaign, through seismic, drilling and completion towards finding 4 million BOE with a market value of about $40 million. Gustavson`s preliminary report, is available at our website: www.apetroleum.com. Rafael Pinedo, CEO of Pilgrim Petroleum Corporation, commented, "Our next step is to start an economic evaluation under SEC rules, and immediately bring those values to our financial statements for the second quarter 2006, while we continue more selective acquisitions and partnerships, the value of the company is our highest priority. Pilgrim has a bright horizon. We plan to continue working with Gustavson Associates for future prospect domestic and international acquisition assessments." About Pilgrim Petroleum Corporation.
