SEASONS GREETINGS AND BEST WISHES FOR 2008

Dear Supporters, Shareholders & Potential Investors:

The Company is pleased to report continued progress on its LAK Ranch heavy oil project. During the last half of 2007, Derek was successful in hiring a "steam flood/steam drive" expert to help with the ongoing development at LAK Ranch. Mr. Robert Hurkmans joins Derek as its Chief Operating Officer after spending the past six years with Occidental Petroleum Corporation as a Production and Drilling Engineer with their large Elk Hills light oil and Mukhaizna heavy oil projects. Mr. Hurkmans has over 37 years experience in the oil industry and specializes in improving the economics of secondary recovery projects (with an emphasis on steam flood technology) such as Derek's LAK Ranch project. In past projects for major oil companies such as Occidental, Arco Western and Shell Oil Company, Mr. Hurkmans has reduced drilling/production costs and overall operating costs by up to 30%. He has won the ARCO Award for his work at Midway Sunset, the Shell Oil Company Award for his work at Kernridge/McKittrick and was a finalist for the Occidental Engineering Excellence Award in both 2001 and 2003 for his work at Elk Hills.

The following table summarizes performance since completion of this year's drill program and Mr. Hurkman's assumption of duties as Chief Operating Officer:

Month/Year	Daily Average Combined Production for Month (bopd)	Total Combined Shipments During Month (bbls.)	Value of Oil Shipped During Month (US$$)

August-07	18.00	482.81	$ 31,574.08
September-07	15.83	243.31	$ 16,692.53
October-07	25.84	958.78	$ 69,353.16
November-07	54.90	1,862.00	$ 130,340.00

As shown in the table, average daily production, monthly oil shipments, and gross oil receipts per month are all increasing as the reservoir receives more steam. The production should increase for the next several months as the reservoir heats up.

Quick Overview on Derek for new readers:

Derek has a 95% working interest on the overall 8000 acres of prime property located in a regional oil migration fairway in NE Wyoming's Powder River Basin.
The 12 well program only is being conducted with a third party on a fifty-fifty cost basis, with the third party receiving fifty percent of the revenue until payback on their initial investment is met. Once payback is met, the third party's working interest (only on the 12 well program area) will revert to forty percent. Derek owns an approximate 4.42% royalty in the overall property.
The LAK Ranch property is located five miles from the Newcastle Refinery.
The reservoir contains tens of millions of barrels of high quality oil.
The oil is viscous & requires an enhanced oil recovery method (EOR) to extract.
The infrastructure required to extract the oil was designed & built by Bateman Engineering Inc.
The above ground facilities have been paid for in full (by Derek) and are operating successfully. LAK Ranch is producing a high quality, low sulphur and low paraffin oil.
Derek's management is confident that the modified Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) techniques we continue to implement are applicable, duplicable and economically viable for the Newcastle Sandstone formation being developed on the LAK Ranch property.
Several hydrocarbon targets have been identified with our extensive $1.1 Million USD 3D seismic survey that continues to aid management in identifying potential new targets through further in-depth seismic interpretation.
Derek management and its highly qualified Board of Directors are focused & determined on making the LAK Ranch property a domestic oil supplier to the United States of America.

What is Derek's short-term agenda (next 12 months)?

Increase overall production as reservoir heats up from the 12 well program.
Purchase, permit and install another steam generator to provide more steam into the reservoir.
Conduct another drilling program in 2008 to increase production, earnings, and cash flow per share, thereby increasing shareholder value.
Continue modifying the long term economic & development plan as new reservoir information is received.

What is Derek's long term goal?

Reach commercial production levels from LAK Ranch.
Ensure the best price is being received for oil produced.
Be a significant oil supplier to North America.

Derek's Blue Sky Potential:

Deeper horizons identified in the 3D seismic are a major part of Derek's future development program.
Once the Newcastle Formation is producing on a positive cash flow basis, Derek plans on re-investing in the exploration and development of similar types of projects & locations.

Corporate Communications:

Derek's Corporate Communications team continues to develop strong communications by effectively reviewing & executing corporate goals set by management.

Ensuring up-to-date public awareness through continuous updates of corporate material on the Company's website.
Being cognizant of the importance of good shareholder relations.
Seeking further Analyst coverage.
Corporate presentation & streamlined corporate package or link is always available for mailing or emailing to current & future shareholders.
