North American Oil and Gas Corporation portfolio built up to over [8,000] gross acres in the San Joaquin Basin

VENTURA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- North American Oil and Gas Corporation (the "Company" or "NAMG") is pleased to announce the following update regarding its acreage position in the San Joaquin Basin of California, USA.

NAMG has built a portfolio in excess of 8,000 gross acres in the southern San Joaquin Basin. This is almost double the acreage since the merger with Calendar Dragon in late November 2012. The majority of the new acreage additions have been acquired in the Project Lani area, which is located in the southern San Joaquin Basin.

Bob Rosenthal, President & CEO commented, "We are pleased with the significant acreage position accumulated to date. More importantly the doubling of the company's acreage since listing has been achieved in such a short period of time without excessive cost to the company."

California - World Class Oil & Gas Basin

The San Joaquin Basin is being targeted due to the emergence of unconventional hydrocarbon plays in this prolific basin, plus significant conventional oil and gas reserves which continue to be discovered. In 2009, Occidental Petroleum Corporation made an estimated 150-250 mmboe discovery in the San Joaquin Basin, the largest discovery in California in 35 years¹. As of end 2010, California ranked (excluding GOM offshore) #3 in the US in both oil production and also in proved oil reserves, according to the EIA. California is home to some of the nation's largest oil fields by EUR, and 3 of the top 10.
