SEATTLE, WA--(Marketwire - October 20, 2010) - Mogul Energy International, Inc. ("Mogul") (
Mr. Masters is recognized by the AAPG (American Association of Petroleum Geologists) as one of the leading oil and gas explorers of the 20th century and has more than 20 discoveries to his credit. Mr. Masters co-founded Canadian Hunter. Canadian Hunter grew from one of the smallest of the 712 registered energy companies in Calgary in 1972 to the 12th largest 20 years later. During this period, Canadian Hunter discovered more than 16 significant gas fields including Canada's largest, the Elmworth field, which is a 30TCF pool and ranks as the third largest producing field in North America. Under Mr. Masters' leadership Canadian Hunter grew from an initial investment of $5 million in 1973 to a value of $3.3 billion in 2001 when sold to Burlington Resources. Mr. Masters will be assisting with the addition of new members to the Mogul management team and the Mogul advisory board. These new members will be actively reviewing the many oil and gas prospect files generated by Mr. Masters in his long career.
Mr. Naeem Tyab, the Company's President, stated: "I am delighted that Mr. Masters will be working to further develop our leadership team by agreeing to the role of Chairman of Mogul. Mr. Masters brings a significant level of contacts that can give us access to many important decision makers in the industry."
