Petroleum Consolidators Issues Shareholder Update

PALM BEACH GARDENS, FL--(MARKET WIRE)--Apr 28, 2009 -- Petroleum Consolidators of America, Inc. (Other OTC:PCAI.PK - News), a gasoline station/convenience store consolidator, is pleased to offer the following updates to our shareholders.

Over the past year we have achieved many milestones that we believe can add shareholder value to the company. As released on February 9, 2009, we unveiled our ambitious plan for calendar 2009, which included acquiring gasoline stations with convenience stores, forming an oil and gas exploration division and most importantly, becoming a wholesale fuel supplier.

To date, we have created an oil and gas exploration division to fully capitalize on the worldwide demand for energy, signed two letters of intent, one for a producing oil well and another for a gasoline station/convenience store and secured a ten million dollar equity line. The latter will enable us to aggressively pursue undervalued acquisition opportunities at bargain prices due to recent economic times. These targeted acquisitions should be cash accretive and meet our return on investment goals, which helps maximize shareholder value.

Additionally, Petroleum Consolidators President & CEO David Cohen stated: "Growth through acquisitions is key to our core business strategy; however, we will continue to take a prudent approach to new acquisitions in calendar 2009 and beyond, requiring that any acquisition offer a strong return on our investment and maximize shareholder value."

Moreover, Cohen stated: "From an operational perspective, we have completed a corporate restructuring that eliminated several management and administrative positions. This reorganization and strategic move will help us to reduce expenses in calendar 2009 and remain proactive in delivering the leverage we need with general and administrative expenses."

About Petroleum Consolidators of America

Petroleum Consolidators of America, Inc. is a gasoline station/convenience store operator, which is implementing a targeted acquisition strategy to create a portfolio of consolidated retail gasoline facilities, producing oil wells and a wholesale fuel distributorship that will benefit from substantial operating efficiencies.

LAS VEGAS, NV--(MARKET WIRE)--Apr 14, 2009 -- Dakshidin Corporation (Other OTC:DKSC.PK - News) (Frankfurt:4LQ.F - News), producers of the world's most powerful water pumping windmill, announces new patents pending.

Dakshidin Corporation is extremely pleased that it has received patent pending status for its latest developments in the Restec drag-type windmill technology.

"I am extremely excited that years of research have resulted in these revolutionary breakthroughs in low-wind speed technology. The timing could not be more perfect with the problems that the world is currently experiencing," said Nick Laroche, CEO Dakshidin Corporation.

To be fair to all Dakshidin will not be using this technology in the upcoming "open challenge."

About us: Dakshidin Corporation, through its wholly owned subsidiary, RESTEC International Inc., are producers of the world's most powerful pumping windmill. Throughout the world, especially in developing countries, there is a dire need for water to fulfill basic human self-sufficiency demands. In most cases, the problem is not the lack of available water, but the cost and reliability of obtaining it. The RESTEC water-pumping Windmill is a renewable, cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution for the world's water crisis.

Resource Group International, Inc. in Expansion Mode in Renewable Energy Sector -- Wind Power

PRAEKASA MUENG, THAILAND--(MARKET WIRE)--Apr 8, 2009 -- Resource Group International Inc. (Other OTC:RSGR.PK - News) today announced that the Company has targeted the Chinese market to expand its wind power initiatives over the next several months.

RSGR expects to reap some of the planned expansion plans in China for renewable wind power and to tap into the $265 billion earmarked by the Chinese Government for these projects.

China expects renewable energy to provide 15% of its needs by 2020, and it plans to spend $265 billion to meet this target. Wind power will be a significant part of this programme.

According to the 2007 "China Wind Power Report":

China has chosen wind power as an important alternative source in order to rebalance the energy mix, combat global warming and ensure energy security. Supportive measures have been introduced. In order to encourage technical innovation, market expansion and commercialisation, development targets have been established for 2010 and 2020, concession projects offered and policies introduced to encourage domestic production.

By the end of 2006, cumulative installed wind capacity had reached 2.6GW; the average annual growth rate over the past ten years has been 46%. Between 2004 and 2006, China's ranking in the world wind energy league moved up from the top 10 to the top 6, and the country is planning to host some of the biggest wind farms in the world.

By the end of 2007 China had wind power generating capacity of 5.6GW, and some estimates are that the country will have 70GW of capacity by 2020. It has already led to a huge boom in business, with some of the big global names in wind power among the beneficiaries, thanks to early decisions to launch production inside China.

"The potential of the China market for RSGR is significant and will be a large role in the expansion plans of the company" states Gregory J. Curry, President of Resource Group International. "We are excited by the opportunities and the possibilities that exist in that market and the ability for us to compete and succeed in that market."

Galloway Energy Views California Projects as Platform for Growth

RENO, NV--(MARKET WIRE)--Apr 6, 2009 -- Galloway Energy Inc. (Other OTC:GWGI.PK - News) ("Galloway" or the "Company") is pleased to provide additional information regarding its interest in the upcoming California gas projects located in the Central Valley of California.






As previously announced, Galloway has acquired a 10% working interest in two gas plays both of which are located in relative proximity to each other and to nearby wells in the area which currently produce in the 1,000 to 2,000 Mcf per day range. We are advised that the operator of the two plays is undertaking an extensive review of existing engineering information including 2D and 3D seismic data across several objectives which notably identify several target rock formations indicating correlative data for gas and which are currently under renewed analysis in order to ascertain exact well locations for the proposed 2009 drilling program.

The target locations are in what is considered to be one of the most prolific gas reservoirs in the Sacramento Valley with an aggregate production of over 400 BCF of gas recorded. The seismic data shows significant sandstone reservoir traps within the target region and as such, the first wells will target an indicated 50 feet of pay zone thickness at an 8,000 foot depth. If these sands are 100% gas filled and the well proves commercially viable, then upon completion and tie-in there is believed to be a projected initial production rate potential for up to 5,000 Mcf/day.

In order to provide additional context for these projects, it is worth noting that the target locations are nearby to such prolific gas fields as Union Island with 271 BCF produced, the McMullin Ranch field with 63 BCF and the Vernalis field with 103 BCF recorded. Additionally, these fields have been shown to have long life and stable rates of production and decline on most wells. Both projects are in well-serviced locations near roads, pipelines and support infrastructure.

Given California's increasing reliance on natural gas, the state has undergone a near tripling of costs within the past decade to upwards of $19 billion annually with natural gas accounting for almost one-third of all energy requirements. Natural gas has also become an increasingly critical source of energy as more of the state's power plants rely on this fuel. Insofar as California's successful efficiency programs combined with the current economic climate have slowed the demand for the fuel, competition for the state's imported supply is increasing significantly. This reliance on imported gas leaves the state vulnerable to price shocks and supply disruptions which the Company believes are of strategic importance to smaller, local producers such as Galloway and which will ultimately translate into major long-term growth opportunities for the Company.

Galloway Energy Discusses Strategic Energy Opportunities

RENO, NV--(MARKET WIRE)--Apr 3, 2009 -- Galloway Energy Inc. (Other OTC:GWGI.PK - News) ("Galloway" or the "Company") is pleased to announce key elements of its strategic plans aimed at developing sustainable growth during fiscal 2009.






In a recent study from Cambridge Energy Research Associates (CERA), the authors conclude that the equivalent of about 7.6 million barrels per day (mbd) out of a total potential future net growth of 14.5 mbd from 2009 to 2014 is "at risk." They base this assertion due to the collapse in oil prices potentially cutting the growth of future oil supply in half from what would have been anticipated during the high price period. Slower growth in oil production capacity could lead to the next period of rising oil prices, but much depends on the recovery of world oil demand.

For the large players this economic condition may well lead to a period of mergers and acquisitions and a reduction in overall activity. This leaves the junior E&P companies with a significant opportunity -- it's time to acquire a mixed portfolio of undervalued assets and to quickly identify, target and develop plans for future production which will be able to effectively exploit the increased demand that many large players may be unable to accommodate should the demand increase quickly due to a resurging economy.

Some fundamentals have been adjusted, but still hold true overall. The planet's population is expected to grow by 50 percent to nine billion by sometime in the middle of the century. They will require housing and place new demands on energy consumption. The number of cars and trucks is projected to nearly double in 30 years to over two billion vehicles as developing nations rapidly modernize. And twice as many passenger jetliners, over 36,000, could be in the skies within the next 20 years.

These factors demand a lot more oil and natural gas with some predictions showing global oil consumption increasing as much as 35 percent by the year 2030. Overall, producers will somehow have to find and pump the equivalent of an additional 11 billion barrels of oil every year. And this demand is growing even now.

With this strategic setting as a backdrop, Galloway proposes to move ahead with plans to: a. participate in suitably opportunistic joint venture programs across the energy sector, b. identify and acquire exploitable assets within the oil & gas sector in order to develop a properly diversified portfolio, and c. work with other key industry players to identify trend opportunities and further develop our vision to transform our innate small-scale flexibility as a junior entity into tangible results for our stakeholders and investors.

Company President Shane Lowry states, "In today's market, investment decisions are increasingly based on expectations about future value. Of course price expectations have to be weighed against upstream development costs. However, we believe that even as prices may remain low for a period of time they are still highly volatile. The resultant cutbacks in production due to low pricing and uncertainty could certainly cause an extraordinary opportunity in the foreseeable future as the economy recovers. The indicators are abundant and a small company such as ours is very strategically positioned to profit under these circumstances."

Galloway currently holds a 10% working interest in two natural gas plays situated in a prolific gas-producing area of California's Central Valley. The projects clearly meet the Company's strategy of high-value and reasonable risk offering a combined potential of over 50 BCF gas with a net of 5 BCF to Galloway. Should the efforts in California prove commercially viable, this would enable the Company to become a "near-term" producer of natural gas late in the 2009 calendar year.
