OAKRIDGE ENERGY ANNOUNCES SIGNING OF AGREEMENT
FOR PROPOSED SALE OF COLORADO LAND
FOR PROPOSED SALE OF COLORADO LAND
Wichita Falls, Texas — October 18, 2006 — Oakridge Energy, Inc. (OTC BB: OAKR) (“Oakridge” or “the Company”) announced today that it has signed a contract to sell the approximately 1,852 acres of land it owns on Ewing Mesa adjacent to the City of Durango, Colorado, to First City Realty Development Corp. for the price of $35,000,000.
First City Realty Development Corp., an experienced residential and golf course development company with projects throughout Colorado, indicated that it is looking forward to entering the Durango market.
Sandra Pautsky, President of Oakridge, said the contract contains a 30-day period for the buyer to determine whether the Company’s title to the property is acceptable but there are no conditions in the contract allowing the buyer to terminate the contract based on the buyer’s due diligence or inspection of the property. The agreement provides for an initial earnest money deposit of $500,000 and three additional deposits of $500,000 each at ensuing 30-day intervals. All of the $2,000,000 in earnest money is non-refundable, except under limited circumstances.
Ms. Pautsky further said that consummation of the agreement would not occur for at least 120 days, and the agreement is conditioned upon the approval of the Company’s shareholders holding a majority of its outstanding shares of common stock at a meeting called for such purpose. Ms. Pautsky has agreed to vote all of the shares she owns or has the right to vote (approximately 62% of the total outstanding shares) in favor of the sale of the property.
Headquartered in Wichita Falls, Texas, Oakridge is also engaged in the exploration, development, production and sale of oil and gas primarily in Texas.
