OVERLAND PARK, Kan.--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--EnerJex Resources, Inc. (OTCBB: ENRJ) today reported that it will retain ownership of the Gas City Project in Allen County, KS. Euramerica Energy Inc. ("Euramerica") had previously held an option to purchase and develop 6,600 acres of the approximately 7,500 acre property.

Euramerica failed to fully fund by January 15, 2009 both the balance of the purchase price and the remaining development capital owed under the Amended and Restated Well Development Agreement and Option for "Gas City Property" between the Registrant and Euramerica. Therefore, Euramerica has forfeited all of its interest in the property, including all interests in any wells, improvements or assets, and all of Euramerica's interest in the property reverts back to EnerJex Kansas, Inc., formerly known as Midwest Energy Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant. In addition, all operating agreements between the Registrant and Euramerica relating to the Gas City Project are null and void.

EnerJex CEO Steve Cochennet commented, "With the expiration of the Euramerica option we will begin to evaluate other alternatives toward the development or disposition of this asset."
