IFNY Infinity Energy Resources Inc (QB)

Infinity Energy Resources, Inc. (OTCQB: IFNY) ("Infinity") (the "Company"), an independent oil and gas exploration and development company, today announced that it has received approval of its Environmental Impact Assessment ("EIA") from the Nicaraguan Government relating to its 1.4 million-acre oil and gas concession in the Caribbean Sea offshore Nicaragua.

Approval of the EIA allows the Company to proceed with exploration activities on the concession, subject to compliance with the conditions set forth in the EIA approval. The approval is divided into two phases. Phase I authorizes seismic mapping activities (2-D and 3-D) on the Tyra and Perlas blocks that comprise the concession. Phase II involves exploratory drilling activities to determine the existence of hydrocarbon reserves beneath the Nicaraguan continental shelf located within the boundaries of the Tyra and Perlas blocks.

"We are very excited, not only for Infinity but for the country of Nicaragua and its citizens, to receive official approval of the EIA," noted Stanton E. Ross, Chief Executive Officer of Infinity Energy Resources, Inc. "With the recent announcement by Noble Energy that it intends to commence a drilling program on its 1.8 million-acre offshore Nicaraguan concession, which is adjacent to Infinity's concession, in the third quarter of 2013, and the resolution of disputed water boundaries with Colombia, Nicaragua has gained the attention of world-class exploration and production companies. As a result of this growing interest in the potential for hydrocarbon resources beneath Nicaragua's offshore waters in the Caribbean Sea, Infinity has received, and continues to receive, inquiries from large oil and gas firms and other companies interested in partnering with us to explore and develop the Tyra and Perlas blocks."

"Approval of the EIA by the Nicaraguan Government follows an investment in excess of $500,000 by Infinity over a period of more than two years," continued Ross. "With such approval now in hand, we expect our discussions with potential partners to become considerably more active in the coming months. Recent conversations with potential partners and seismic companies provide us with confidence that Infinity may be able to commence 3-D seismic mapping activities later this year. Upon completion and evaluation of our seismic mapping program, we intend to move forward to timely update our EIA in hopes that initial drilling activities may begin in late 2014."
