Avere Energy has signed the revised and restated letter agreement to acquire a working interest in an undeveloped Haynesville prospect in Mississippi.

The letter agreement between Avere and American Exploration Corp., a Nevada corporation states that the Company will earn a 20% working interest in the Joint Venture Lands (the "Joint Venture Lands") by paying 20% of the costs of the drilling and completion of an initial deep gas well (an estimated US $2 million) and by making additional payments aggregating US $2 million to American, including a non-refundable US $75,000 deposit, which was paid on January 27, 2010.

Avere continues to organize a financing to pay for (1) the farm-in and drilling obligations in connection with its farm-in on this Haynesville shale gas prospect as described above; and (2) for at minimum a subsequent development well on the property; and (3) for a seismic acquisition program. In addition to the above, the proceeds will provide the Company with sufficient working capital to complete its Reactivation and will be used for general corporate purposes.
