Heartland Accepts Resignation of Interim President - Prepares to Execute Oil and Gas Field Development Plans

HOUSTON--In an effort to reduce costs and increase operational communication and efficiencies Heartland Oil and Gas Corp. (OTCBB: HTOG) (FWB: HOCA) has accepted the resignation of Interim President Steven Fall and terminated the administrative staff of its Houston office.

With development plans for the expansion and improvement of its oil and gas fields in Texas and its coalbed methane properties in Kansas substantially complete, Mr. Fall and the Heartland Board negotiated terms for his departure.

"Since the focus of Heartland's efforts from this point forward will be in the fields, it was decided that the executive staff of the home office was no longer necessary," explained Heartland Chairman Kamal Abdallah. Mr. Abdallah is also Chairman and CEO of Heartland's majority shareholder, Universal Property Development and Acquisition Corporation (OTCBB: UPDA) (FWB: UP1) and will now assume the role of CEO of Heartland without compensation.

"We will now direct the execution of the development plans through UPDA's Aztec Well Service subsidiary. This will result in a significant reduction of costs and the elimination of bureaucratic delays," continued Chairman Abdallah. We have great confidence that Aztec's field personnel can accomplish our objectives with great efficiency."
