Black Dragon Sets Record Straight on Michael Ellis Resignation
The Executive Committee of the Board of
Directors of Black Dragon Resource Companies, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: BDGR)
announced today corrections to the unauthorized release by Michael Ellis,
former President, Treasurer and Director of the Company.
Through his associate, Mr. Joel Pensley, an attorney from Connecticut, Mr.
Ellis caused a release to be issued which was erroneous as to facts and
circumstances regarding his departure from the Presidency and Board of
Black Dragon.
At no time, since his appointment to the Presidency by the Board, did Mr.
Ellis come to Oil City to commence taking over the day-to-day operations of
the Company.
Mr. Ellis was in fact paid the sum of $50,000 for purported services
rendered to Black Dragon and to this date, has not forwarded to the Company
any or all of the geological and geophysical research work purported to
have been done by himself on behalf of Black Dragon.
Mr. Ellis was hired, at the behest of the Board, to implement a program for
increasing production on existing shallow wells and to develop an
operational plan which would facilitate the evaluation of reserves at depth
to further develop and produces reserves which the Company owns.
Mr. Ellis indicated that interim funding would be forthcoming, pending the
development of a drilling program. To this date, no interim funding has
materialized nor has a comprehensive drilling program been developed.
Mr. Ellis further insisted that all present board members submit their
resignations to allow for his associates to be appointed to the Board,
issuing 100 Million shares of New Stock as compensation for services to his
new Board.
Additionally, Mr. Ellis indicated that he would dispose of all of the
leases located in Louisiana, regardless of the outcome, to provide funds
for drilling exploratory wells in other regions of the country.
None of his intentions or plans were disclosed to the Board prior to his
appointment as President of Black Dragon. These intentions were clearly
not in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders.
At a special meeting of the Board of Directors on September 24, 2007, Mr.
Ellis, though notified, elected not to participate. The Board discussed
terminating Mr. Ellis for cause, but decided to offer Mr. Ellis the
opportunity to resign, which apparently he did, without notifying the
Company directly, but instead through an unauthorized release.
The Executive Committee expressed regret that Mr. Ellis had taken
unilateral action without regard to the effect it might have on the Company
and its stockholders.
Repeated attempts to reach Mr. Ellis by Corporate Counsel have been
unsuccessful.
About Black Dragon:
Black Dragon Resource Companies, Inc. 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.
