Item 1.01               Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Carried Working Interest Purchase and Sale Agreement

On October 29, 2009, we executed an agreement to acquire from Hycarbex-American Energy, Inc. (“Hycarbex”) a two and one half percent (2-1/2%) working interest in each of the 2,258 square kilometer Sanjawi Block No. 3068-2, Zone II, Baluchistan Province, Pakistan, and 1,229 square kilometer Zamzama North Block No. 2667-8, Zone III, Sindh Province, Pakistan.    Each concession block is operated by Heritage Oil and Gas Limited.  Heritage Oil and Gas Limited is an affiliate of Heritage Oil, plc, an independent oil and gas company which focuses its oil and gas operations on Africa, the Middle East, and Russia.  Heritage Oil’s shares trade on the London Stock Exchange under the symbol HOIL with a secondary listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol HOC.     Other working interest participants in the two Blocks are Sprint Energy (Private) Limited, an affiliate of Pakistan-based JS Group, and Trakker Energy (Private) Limited, an affiliate of Pakistan-based TPL Holdings, Ltd.  

Under the terms of the agreement, our 2-1/2% working interests will be deemed “carried” by Hycarbex for the initial two (2) wells on the Sanjawi Block and the initial three (3) wells on the Zamzama North Block.  The term “carried” means that the costs associated with work programs, seismic, road preparation, drillsite preparation, rig and equipment mobilization, drilling, reworking, testing, logging completion and governmental fees (except taxes on production) shall be borne entirely by Hycarbex.  Infrastructure costs such as pipelines and surface facilities constructed after the first discovery well on each Block are not carried.  After the initial carried wells have been drilled, we are required to bear our proportionate share of drilling and exploration costs in subsequent wells.  The agreement provides an option to American Energy Group, Ltd. to convert our working interest in any well at any time to a 1.5% gross royalty interest free of any exploration costs, operating costs or deductions related to the well in which the conversion has been made other than applicable production taxes assessed against the royalty.

The consideration paid by American Energy Group, Ltd. includes 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 100,000 Warrants to purchase Common Stock with a 3-year duration and an exercise price of $1.75 per share.  We are entitled to redeem the Warrants in the event that our Common Stock trades at $2.00 or more for twenty (20) consecutive trading days by providing written notice to the Warrant holder, upon which notice, the holder shall have thirty (30) days to exercise the Warrant.  The parties have stipulated that the value of the Carried Working Interests to be purchased and the corresponding value of the securities given for the Carried Working Interests is equal to $3,500,000.

 We have also agreed to pay to Hycarbex a contingent cash consideration to be derived from the funds on deposit with Hycarbex under a May 11, 2006 Non-Exclusive Agency Agreement in which we engaged Hycarbex to locate and assist in obtaining concession interests in Pakistan.   The amount of the cash consideration will not be determined until American Energy Group, Ltd. achieves $200,000 of aggregate royalty income from its 18% royalty in the Haseeb Exploratory Well No. 1 located on the Yasin Concession Block No. 2768-7.  If and when the aggregate $200,000 sum is received from its royalty interest, then the remaining funds in escrow under the Non-Exclusive Agency Agreement shall be released to Hycarbex as its cash payment inclusive of a $100,000 commission as provided in the Non-Exclusive Agency Agreement.  Until this royalty income threshold is achieved, we will withdraw from the funds on deposit $50,000 per month for operating capital.  As of the fiscal year end of June 30, 2009, our funds on deposit with Hycarbex totaled $1,139,500.

The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and is incorporated into this Current Report on Form 8-K by reference. The Agreement provides further information regarding the terms of the acquisition.
