FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CHEETAH ANNOUNCES INVICTA – INTEROIL AGREEMENT
Vancouver, BC: (October 12th, 2007) – Cheetah Oil and Gas Ltd. (OTCBB: COGL) (the “Company”) As previously announced, on May 23, 2007, we entered into an agreement with Kepis & Pobe Investments Inc. whereby Kepis & Pobe would acquire an interest in our Papua New Guinea petroleum prospecting licenses and petroleum retention licence comprising approximately 8,400,000 acres. Kepis & Pobe (or its assignee) have agreed to acquire shares in Cheetah Oil & Gas Ltd., our British Columbia subsidiary (“Cheetah B.C.”), representing 90% of the issued and outstanding shares of Cheetah B.C. Cheetah B.C. holds our licenses in Papua New Guinea. Kepis & Pobe has assigned all its rights and obligations under the subscription agreement to Invicta Oil & Gas Ltd.
On October 11, 2007, Invicta Oil & Gas Ltd. announced that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (the "MOU") with InterOil Corporation ("InterOil") with regards to three adjacent Petroleum Prospecting Licenses ("PPL") in Papua New Guinea, two of which are currently held by our Company and one of which is held by InterOil.
As Invicta announced, they and InterOil propose to enter into agreements to share data in respect of the properties, to undertake a joint exploration and development program in respect of up to four wells on the properties, and for offtake arrangements for the supply of natural gas from the properties to InterOil's planned LNG facilities in Papua New Guinea should natural gas be discovered on the properties.
Also as announced by Invicta, the MOU is subject to a number of conditions, including but not limited to the execution of definitive agreements contemplated by the MOU and Invicta's completion of the acquisition of its interest in our Company’s subsidiary (which acquisition requires the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange). The MOU expires on December 31, 2007 unless it has been replaced by formal agreements or has been extended by the consent of the parties. There can be no assurance that these conditions will be fulfilled.
