(OTC \"BFDE\") (Cusip 076110 105) announced today that the Company has reached several significant milestones.\r\n\r\nThe Company has commenced an aggressive \"in-field\" drilling program in a joint venture with Grace Oil & Gas, Inc. and Buckeye Exploration in the development of the East Chandler Prospect -- a 520 acre lease located in Lincoln County, Oklahoma. The first prospect, Grace #1, drilled to completion early this week with excellent shows. Casing was set at 5111 feet and the well is scheduled to begin final completion on Friday July 14.
