NEW YORK, NY — (Marketwire) — 01/24/12 — Northeast Automotive Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: NEAU) (PINKSHEETS: NEAU) announced today its plans to pivot its business to become a domestic oil production and exploration company. As the first step in reshaping its business, NEAU has entered into a binding Memorandum of Understanding (the “MOU”) with Uniontown Energy, Inc. (UTOG), for the proposed acquisition and development of certain portions of UTOG–s New Miami oil project, including the New Miami #40-20H well, anticipated for near stage oil production. The New Miami oil field contains 1,480 acres located near the Bakken shale formation in Montana. It is projected that a total of 17 horizontal wells can be drilled on the property. The closing of the transaction is subject to due diligence and the execution of a definitive agreement containing reasonable and customary closing conditions, representations and warranties by both parties.
The planned New Miami transaction will not be structured as a reverse merger and there will be no change of control or management of either NEAU or UTOG. NEAU is currently in discussions with a veteran oil industry executive to become its Chief Operating Officer. After the closing of the proposed transaction, NEAU will change its name to Strategy Oil to reflect its new business plan and will implement a strategic plan with a goal to acquire, within 36 months, domestic oil assets producing at least 5,000 barrels of oil per day.
