Stetson Receives Notice Related to Colombia Oil and Gas Exploration Block

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Oct. 14, 2014) - Stetson Oil & Gas Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:SSN) reports that the company has received a notice from the regulatory authority for the Llanos-11 oil and gas exploration block located in Colombia (the "Llanos Block"). The Llanos Block is a non-core asset and was acquired by Stetson during the Ronda 2010 bidding process organized by the Agencia Nacional de Hidrocarburos of Colombia. Stetson subsequently successfully farmed out 90% of the Llanos Block to an independent company in exchange for retaining a 10% carried interest during the exploration phase. However, due to the failure of the partner to meet the required obligations, Stetson terminated the farm-out agreement in October 2013. The Llanos Block is now in breach of its original contract terms as a result of the failure by the partner to fulfill the work program obligations. Pursuant to the notice, Stetson has a brief period to remedy the default or the regulator may take steps to withdraw Stetson's interest in the Llanos Block. Stetson intends to work with the regulator in an attempt to reach an amicable resolution.
