CALGARY, Alberta--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Pinnacle Energy Corp. (OTCBB:PENC), an independent oil and gas producer, today announced that the company is moving forward with its previously announced diversification strategy, focusing on land management and coal. Pinnacle has entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent (LOI) to form a royalty land company with Clayton Resource Partners, an organization that will lead Pinnacle's foray into the market for coal and coal bed methane. Pinnacle and Clayton Resource Partners are currently in the final stages of Due Diligence, and both parties expect the transaction to close within 30 days.

Following execution of the LOI, Pinnacle Energy's initial primary purpose will be to acquire coal and coal bed methane reserves, located in key strategic coal basins in the United States. By "blocking up" mine-able reserves via acquisition, the company's plan is to build significant long-term value for shareholders and business partners and create a steady revenue stream. Additionally, the reformed company will serve as a vehicle for Pinnacle to potentially "roll up," or aggregate privately held land companies that have exploitable coal reserves.

"We are excited about the planned agreement with Clayton Resource Partners," said Nolan Weir, Pinnacle Energy President and member of the company's Board of Directors. "We feel that current and future marketplace dynamics within the coal industry will help Pinnacle steadily grow revenues, profit and balance sheet assets that will lead to increased shareholder value over time."

Further details on the re-formed company will be released when the transaction closes, including potential changes to the company's management team and corporate structure. In addition to pursuing the company's interests in coal, Pinnacle Energy will continue to fully exploit the company's existing oil and gas properties.
