OIL CITY, La., Dec. 1, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Black Dragon Resource Companies, Inc. ("the Company," "Dragon") (Pink Sheets:BDGR) is pleased to announce today that the company has retired 5 Billion common shares in the past week. Furthermore, the Board has agreed to further reduce the company's authorized amount of shares to 22 Billion upon the signing of the agreement between its drilling partners.
According to Tom Neely, President, "The company is aggressively improving its stock structure in an effort to increase shareholder value. Management's goal is to continue to reduce the authorized shares and tradable shares. The goal of management is to bring the issued and outstanding shares down to around 1 billion by the end of 2012. This can be accomplished by initiating an aggressive share buyback program."
Black Dragon is an oil and gas exploration and production company currently focused on the acquisition of mature, producing and existing domestic oil and gas fields. This focus has eliminated exploration risk, reduced costs of completion, and provided rapid generation of income in a niche market where larger independent and major oil companies are not positioned to compete. Black Dragon intends to recomplete additional shallow producing wells and to expand its focus to include drilling of new wells, some to deeper levels and to purchase additional leases.
