High Plains Gas Inc. Symbol Does Not Change

Marketwired
High Plains Gas, Inc. (OTCBB: HPGS) ("HPG" or "the Company"), a
Gillette, Wyoming-based energy company actively engaged in the
acquisition, development and production of natural gas primarily in
the Powder River Basin advised today that due to an error by the
company utilized by FINRA to advise brokers of symbol changes, the
symbol for High Plains was erroneously reported as "HPGSE" this
morning.
FINRA has advised counsel for High Plains that this error will
be immediately corrected. Reportedly this error has affected
several additional companies today.
The error occurred partially because High Plains Gas changed its
fiscal year end to December 31 to more closely relate to its
business model. That change was reported on SEC Form 8-K. That
changed the due date for High Plains next periodic report on Form
10-K to March 31. FINRA acknowledged this change and advised that
the symbol would not change. The correction appears on the "daily
list" published by FINRA on www.otcbb.com, but somehow the symbol
change was not corrected.
High Plains regrets any confusion this may cause today, but
cautions that this has nothing to do with the operations of the
Company and this error will be immediately corrected.
