Tri-Valley Corporation has accepted the resignation of Robert A. Bell as president and chief operating officer of its Tri-Valley Oil & Gas Co. and Great Valley Production Co. LLC subsidiaries. Mr. Bell gave notice of his resignation on October 15, 2008, and indicated that he had other opportunities to pursue. Tri-Valley thanks him for his contributions to the company and its projects. For now, the posts formerly held by Mr. Bell will be filled by Joseph R. Kandle, senior vice president for corporate development for Tri-Valley Corporation who formerly held both of the positions vacated by Mr. Bell. Tri-Valley expects to continue its programs to build production, revenue and share value apace while it looks for a successor.
