Thu 23 Oct 2003 News Release

Mr. Martin Cotter reports

Portrush has been notified by the operator that drilling has been completed

on a well north of the two producing wells in the Lenox 20-4N-14E Niagaran

reef oil reservoir north of New Haven, Mich. The well, the Schmude LaTorre

1-20, was drilled to a depth of approximately 3,200 feet and was located

more than 1,300 feet north of the two producing wells.

The target of the well as identified on a conventional seismic line was the

northern portion of the Lenox Silurian platform reef, which is believed to

extend north of Portrush`s existing light oil production and natural gas

indications on the delineated portion of the reef.

The well encountered a gas-charged zone approximately 50 feet thick up hole

of the reef formation. The company intends to fully evaluate the up-hole

gas and intends to drill additional wells to produce from this formation.

Recoverable gas reserves for this interval are volumetrically determined at

6.9 billion cubic feet per section.

The formations in the Brown Niagaran were not encountered as anticipated. A

detailed log analysis of the well suggests proximity to a pinnacle reef and

the company intends to continue to explore close to the Schmude LaTorre

well and the two producing wells in order to locate the pinnacle.

The company earned a 15-per-cent working interest in the drilling unit and

can also earn a 20-per-cent working interest in an area of mutual interest

(AMI) of 2,000 gross acres (3.2 sections) of leases immediately adjoining

the Lenox discovery.

Considerable progress has been made obtaining a right of way for a gas

pipeline to sell the gas from the two existing wells that are currently

being flared and any new gas production that might ensue from the

additional drilling. Landowners have agreed to provide easements for a

four-inch pipeline to connect the current gas production and any additional

anticipated commercial production to an eight-inch utility line.

Construction of this pipeline will take place when the necessary permits

and approvals are obtained.

During the month of June, the wells produced 7,177 barrels of oil over 30

days, averaging 240 barrels of oil a day. Production for April and May was

4,097 barrels and 7,406 barrels, respectively. Through May, 2003, the two

wells had produced a cumulative total of nearly 70,000 barrels, with the

Martin well not contributing to that total until April, 2003. Typical reefs

in the area can vary in size from approximately 300,000 barrels and two

billion cubic feet to over one million barrels and 10 billion cubic feet of

recoverable reserves. For an analyst evaluation of this project, refer to

WARNING: The company relies upon litigation protection for

``forward-looking`` statements.
