ITEM 5.02. Appointment of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.

Colorado Wyoming Reserve Company, hereinafter referred to as CWYR, is pleased to announce the following management changes:

Mr. Kim M. Fuerst has been named President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) effective immediately. Mr. Rafiq Sayed retains his position as CFO.

Kim is the founder and former Chairman, President and CEO of CWYR. He has decided to come out of semi-retirement to spearhead efforts to form a joint venture or other such business combination with a suitable partner. With his intimate knowledge of the geology and characteristics of the company’s acreage and surrounding areas in the Paradox Basin, UT, the company feels he is key to negotiating a deal on CWYR’s behalf.

CWYR recently retained key people (see 8-K filed 2/24/11) to aid in the contact and procurement of funding and partners to further it’s goals of exploiting, testing and drilling it’s 3D delineated prospects in the Paradox Basin of SE Utah. The company believes 6 to 10 MMBOE could be proven up with drilling of the current targets. It also believes that much more oil and gas lies untapped in the fairway that further 3D seismic could identify.

There is no change in the names or the number of directors, presently being Mr. Kim M Fuerst, Mr. Rafiq A Sayed, Dr. William Downey & Dr. Waseem A Sayed.

KIM M. FUERST who has an MBA in Finance from the University of Southern California has been President, Chief Executive Officer and Director since September 1996, and Treasurer and Chief Financial and Accounting Officer since October 17, 1997. From 1994 to 1996 he was a Vice President and head of the energy group of Van Kasper and Company, an investment banking firm. From 1989 to 1994 he served in various capacities at Great Northern Gas Company including Vice President of Finance and as a Director. From 1982 to 1990 he was President and Chief Operating Officer of Karen Oil Company which, during this period, drilled over 100 wells and operated those wells that were producing wells. Over the past 30 years he has worked in a variety of energy related positions, both as an independent producer and as an investment banker.

Item 8.01. Other Events

CWYR, as a business development company with limited funds, intends to terminate it’s registration under section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The primary reason for this is the Company will reduce various costs and expenses, such as auditing and legal fees, filing fees and printing and mailing expenses associated with compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley, as a result of terminating its periodic filing and reporting obligations.

The Company plans to continue trading in the Pinksheets Over the Counter Market.
