American Community Development, Inc. (PINK SHEETS: ACDP) retains prominent domestic and international geophysicist to design and implement a seismic program, for ACDP's Sofia Oil & Gas Exploration Project in New Mexico.

Mel Marshall of Calgary AB, Canada; has been engaged by ACDP to initiate a seismic program comprised of reprocessing the existing 35 miles of seismic with a view to focusing on the 4300' - 4500' zone; and as well design additional seismic lines considered appropriate to pin pointing locations for our proposed 6 test well program. Mr. Marshall designed and supervised the shooting of the existing 35 miles of seismic, and therefore ACDP is fortunate to have his familiarity and availability to advance our project.

Mel Marshall obtained his Bachelor of Science (Geophysics) from the University of Calgary in 1985. He has been in the exploration industry for 25 years and a practicing member of APEGGA (Association of Professional Engineers, Geologists and Geophysicists of Alberta) for the last 20 years. He has worked in both North and South America on various structural and stratigraphic play types, in various roles from Geophysicist to Exploration Vice President. He is currently running his own consulting business that provides both technical and management services to the exploration industry.

Management Comment: "ACDP considers itself fortunate to have the opportunity to participate in such a large scale oil and gas play resident onshore in the USA. The combination of continued restrictions on offshore drilling, turmoil in the far east, and surging oil prices (recently over $100 per barrel), all of which affects demand - supply balance; makes this an attractive and timely business opportunity to fast track shareholder value."
