Menno Wiebe, who has been a director of Avalon Oil & Gas, Inc. (the "Company")
since October 30, 2007, resigned his directorship of the Company effective
August 1, 2008 pursuant to a letter to Kent Rodriguez, the President, CEO, and a
director of the Company. There were no disagreements between Mr. Wiebe and the
Company, known to any executive officer of the Company, on any matter relating

properties in Colombia which may conflict with interests of the Company.
The Board of Directors is currently seeking to appoint an individual to fill the
