Petroamerica Oil Corp has been awarded a farm-in by Pacfic Rubiales Energy Corp. on the CPO-1 Block which is located in the Llanos Basin of Colombia. This farm-in results from Petroamerica Oil Corp.'s participation in a recently completed private competitive bid process conducted by Pacific Rubiales Energy Corp.

The company will provide 100% of the total investment required to complete the first phase of the minimum exploratory program (MEP) for the block, in exchange for a 50% working interest in the block.
