General:

Eden Energy Corp. focuses on large scale oil and gas projects with significant resource potential. Its Noah project in eastern Nevada contains exceptionally rich source rocks, large thrusted rollover structures, and an excellent potential reservoir rock. The area is similar to thrust belts and basins throughout the world, which contain approximately one quarter of the world's proven reserves of oil and gas. The Chinchaga prospect in Northern Alberta also targets dolomitized Devonian reservoirs and its large resource potential fits well with the Company’s goals. In addition, Eden is continuing to review a number of low risk development projects in western Canada.
