Empire Energy Corporation Intl. (fka EEGC)

[Howardhaftel]

Reprint in part from Malcolm Bendall's letter dated August 19, 2009:

According to information obtained from Mineral Resources Tasmania (MRT), Empire has been informed that it qualifies for licensing and expanded permitting over these newly discovered structures by the granting of either exploration licenses and/or mining leases. Any information concerning SEL 13/98 to the contrary is false and misleading. To be crystal clear, Empire and GSLM have completely and thoroughly met all the initial goals established for the work commitment portion of the SEL 13/98 agreement and have gone so far as to exceed all capital investments as necessitated by that same agreement.

I personally intend to exercise my full rights as a shareholder for the benefit of Empire's drilling program via the rights offering. It is yet another venue in which I can demonstrate my total commitment to the success of this company.

Please be advised that in the last two months I have personally contributed in excess of AUD $150,000.00 towards payment of GSLM wages and expenses.

Furthermore, after long and careful consideration, I have decided to bring into Empire a very valuable, viable, and important proprietary technology that will significantly address and impact a critical element of the energy industry. Empire is going to receive the commercial rights for Flare Gas Technology as this proprietary technology will be applicable to the energy markets of North and South America. These markets represent a substantial percentage of the global energy markets.

Once the regulatory environment is established under which shareholders can legally exercise their right to participate in the upcoming rights offering and I also have exercised my initial rights allocation, I plan to support the full subscription of any remaining or unexercised rights. Fully subscribed, our rights offering will raise Empire a total of U.S. $9 Million (AU$11 Million). This alone will be enough to complete drilling at Bellevue and another selected site.
