As part of our plans for growth, and concurrent with third party
Yasin Block exploration activities, Management will be investigating
other upstream oil and gas opportunities that fit the Company’s
investment criteria emphasizing enhancement to share value and increase
of net income. At this time, during a period of high energy prices,
such highly prospective opportunities are more likely to be found
in remote international locations. These often underdeveloped countries
dictate a heightened awareness of responsibility with respect to
indigenous peoples and cultures.
American Energy is committed to not only meet, but to exceed where
practical, industry norms in the area of contribution to the welfare
of those peoples living in vicinity of Company operations. Management
is of the strong opinion that maintaining the highest level of corporate
citizenship is not detrimental to profitability. Such efforts often
generate additional opportunities that would not otherwise have
been made available, and ultimately improve the fiscal performance
of the Company. Management believes that a free market guided by
responsible corporate conduct can contribute to alleviating dangerous
pressures from religious or ethnic conflict. Working in an emerging
market situation thus constitutes not only risk, but offers a unique
opportunity for participation in the development of countries representing
the emerging markets. By highlighting the unique aspects of emerging
market situations, American Energy hopes to attract a group of elite
investors, who not only expect above average returns on their investment,
but demand the highest possible standard of corporate responsibility.
