Americas Energy Company Expands Office to Meet Demand

Americas Energy Company-AECo (OTCBB: AENY) is pleased to announce that it has purchased a larger office space in preparation for the increase demand for personnel that the Artemus Project and the 92 Highway Project will ultimately bring to the Company. The Company is currently in an office space of approximately 2,500 square feet and the newly purchased office will be approximately 6,500 square feet. "The soft real estate market prices and extremely tight commercial finance market presented AENY with an opportunity to acquire Prime Office space at a very reasonable price. AENY plans to expand its accounting, engineering and administrative staff over the next several months in direct response to the increased demand in its coal market," stated Chris Headrick, President and CEO of Americas Energy Company.
