Santa Fe Petroleum, Inc. Announces Closing of First Round of Funding and FINRA Name Change

PLANO, TX, Oct. 3, 2012

Bruce Hall, Chief Executive Officer of the Company stated, "We are pleased to have closed on this first round of financing for the Company.  These initial funds will be used to complete our Project Test Well in Central Texas, which our consulting petroleum engineer has estimated should produce commercial quantities of oil and gas.  Furthermore, it brings the Company a step closer to fulfilling our primary strategy of drilling five-well patterns and using the center well as the injection point for further reservoir stimulation."

The Company is currently revising the private placement memorandum in order to facilitate its business plan, drilling program and leasing efforts in and around the Test Well.

Additionally, on September 17, 2012, the Company filed a corporate action with FINRA to officially change the name of the Company to Santa Fe Petroleum, Inc.  The foregoing action was taken by written consent of a majority of the Company's shareholders and in accordance with the laws governing the State of Delaware, the Company's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.  The name change was effective with FINRA as of September 20, 2012.
