INTRODUCTION
Freedom Oil & Gas, Inc. is an independent oil and gas exploration and development company, headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Majestic Companies, Ltd. (OTC:BB symbol: MJXX). The Company's primary focus is on the development of low-risk infield reserves for revenue stability and the discovery of large oil and natural gas prospects in the Rocky Mountain region of the United States.
The Company will implement cutting edge technologies and exploitation methodologies to fully develop the infield potential of its lower risk projects and its over-thrust acquisitions.
The Company has retained high profile industry expertise to identify and acquire low-risk developmental opportunities to generate targeted cash flows averaging internal rates of return of up to 80%.
As a result of a 7-year study with ongoing leasing activities, 6 major prospects have been identified and acquired, each with substantial reserve potential ranging from 60 million to 2 billion barrels of oil and/or gas equivalent.
Together with the management team, their retained consultants have extensive experience in high-grading prospects, acquisitions and field implementation. The Company will work extensively with industry specialists to design and implement exploration, development and production strategies. Their core group has been responsible for the investment and return of several billion dollars in oil and gas revenue.
PROJECTS IN HAND
(1) El Grande Prospect
Freedom Oil & Gas, Inc. announced that it had completed the acquisition of HEGCO's El Grande Prospect in Faulkner County, Arkansas on Friday, September 13, 2002. Freedom stated that this acquisition had also been approved by the Receiver and the Canadian Court handling HEGCO's receivership.
Freedom also confirmed that it is in discussions with third parties to participate in its re-entry of the Edgmon #1 well, and , if the recompleted well proves to be commercially productive, to participate in the construction of a lateral pipeline connection to a nearby, existing interstate gas pipeline. HEGCO's previous engineering report of May 1999 indicated potential production rates from a flow test of the Edgmon #1 well in the range of 1,200 mcf/d to 4,250 mcf/d, subject to clean-up of load water on the reservoir. Freedom's technical team is developing plans to both re-enter the Edgmon #1 well and dispose of the load water using more modern, advanced completion technologies and reservoir engineering tools.
(2) Ewell Prospect
Freedom Oil & Gas, Inc. announced that drilling operations for the initial well on its Ewell Prospect in Okmulgee County, Oklahoma, had reached target depth in the Arbuckle formation. Freedom stated that an initial review of the logs for the Ewell 1B well indicate discovery of a new and separate Wilcox structure with approximately 52 net feet of calculated pay. The logs also correlated with excellent shows in multiple intervals within the Dutcher formation that also calculate productive. Both the Wilcox and Dutcher have been prolific producing formations within the Ewell field.
(3) Braman Project
The Braman acquisition is a field that was discovered in 1925 and produced with turn-of-the-Century technologies/methodologies. The Braman field is estimated to have produced 25 - 30 million barrels of oil, primarily from the main Tonkawa zone at 2,400 feet. Freedom Oil & Gas, Inc. needs to fund $250,000 for the initial development work.
COMPANY DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY
Freedom Oil & Gas, Inc. views its development activities in a three-phase strategy:
Phase I - to locate and acquire projects - that have low risk development opportunities. These projects typically have undeveloped or underdeveloped reserves with good upside potential. The projects currently identified for acquisition are similar to other recently completed acquisitions by management.

*Hewitt Energy (Texas) sold the Three Sands properties to HEGCO Canada, Inc. in 1997.
**Recent work has demonstrated that with an additional $1,000,000 the operator expects to increase production to 700 BO.
***Developed by Hewitt Energy (Texas).
Phase II - developing known potential - in producing and non-producing wells on the subject properties, through rework and general field operations. (For example, within low risk operations, e.g., drill or complete to productive PUD location/depth and explore other horizons in same location). This will accomplish several of the Company's goals of increasing revenues and expanding its proved developed producing reserve base.
Phase III - utilization of cash flow to capitalize ongoing development - to capitalize low and moderate risk development opportunities. The intent will be to allocate as much capital as possible on acquired low cost objectives with high return ratios for a floor growth objective. This phase will focus management on increasing the Company's booked reserves, cash flow and reserve values.
