CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - July 16, 2009) - Oilexco Incorporated ("Oilexco" or "the Company") (TSX VENTURE:OIL) obtained a court order today in its ongoing Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act proceedings permitting Oilexco and its subsidiary, Oilexco Technical Services Inc., to liquidate the remainder of their respective assets and propose a plan of compromise and arrangement to creditors that will have the effect of distributing all net proceeds of liquidation to creditors in proportion to the amount of each creditor's proven claim.
