NEW YORK, NY, Jun 30 (MARKET WIRE) --
Terra Energy & Resource Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: TEGR), a natural
resource exploration services technology company, announces that the
Company has signed a Memo of Understanding with King Resources, LLC (KR),
according to which the Company and KR plan to form a joint venture
centered on the formation of a diversified oil and gas investment fund
(Fund), to raise up to $50 million, with the Company and KR serving as
general partners.
The plan is to significantly increase the Fund's exploration success rate
via investments that would be selected using the Company's advanced
proprietary exploration technologies, in addition to the traditional
industry due diligence. The Fund would initially concentrate on US onshore
late stage non-operated drilling projects. Terra Energy & Resource
Technologies, through a services subsidiary, will provide the Terra

as projected 2.5% equity and 5% carried interest in the Fund.
"Both Terra and King Resources are dedicated to the vision of innovative
exploration technologies, being of paramount importance in making the
exploration process significantly less risky and therefore substantially
more economically viable than the traditional industry approach. The
parties decided to unify their efforts because together they have a number
of unique technologies, inventor class specialists and scientists, top
managers, and strong industry and financial connections, creating a
powerful business entity," said Dr. Alexandre Agaian, President of Terra
Energy & Resource Technologies, Inc.
"The Fund's economics conservatively project for the investors to achieve
industry leading returns on investment at expedient distribution rates
based on investing in established projects ready for near term drilling
operations," said John King, King Resources' Chief Executive Officer. "We
project a sizable increase in exploration success rate due to utilization
of our innovative exploration technologies."
