    Petroleum Exploration & Production Sharing Agreement
    Republic of Armenia

    Dublin, May 2nd 2007


    Blackstairs Energy plc announces the signing of a petroleum contract
    with the government of the Republic of Armenia; the effective date of
    the contract is April 27th 2007. The contract, in the form of a
    Production Sharing Agreement (PSA), grants exclusive exploration and any
    future hydrocarbon production rights over the areas designated "Blocks
    4, 5 and 6". These blocks are located in eastern and southern Armenia
    and extend to a combined area of 13,775 sq. km. (over 3.4 million
    acres).

    A comprehensive programme of geological and geophysical studies and a
    2D seismic campaign will be undertaken during the initial phase of
    evaluation. Blocks 4, 5 and 6 are currently very lightly explored and
    the proposed work programmes will significantly enhance the
    understanding of the petroleum geology of the basin.
