Azabache Amends Agreement to Acquire Working Interest in Antares Block

Azabache Energy Inc. (TSXV:AZA) has amended the agreement with Petróleos del Mar S.A whereby Azabache will acquire a 50% interest in the Antares block in the Upper Magdalena Basin, Colombia.

As quoted in the press release:

The Company entered into this amendment for the following reasons:

• Petromar has encountered delays in obtaining the necessary environmental permits to drill the two exploratory wells required under Phases 4 and 5 (unified) of the E&P Contract.

• On September 20, 2011 Petromar and the ANH executed an amendment to the E&P Contract to suspend the current period of the Phases 4 and 5 (unified) which originally ended on September 25, 2011, until the environmental authorities have resolved the permits to drill the Lemaya and La Mona exploratory wells.
