Item 8.01    Other Events

On April 5, 2012, Hydro Resources, Inc. (“HRI”), the Registrant’s wholly-owned subsidiary, received a Notice of Violation and Order to Comply with the Navajo Nation Civil Trespass Act (the “Order”) from the Navajo Nation Division of Natural Resources.  The Order assessed a $50 civil assessment for alleged trespasses on Section 9, Township 16 North, Range 16 West, N.M.P.M. (“Section 9”), which is land held in trust by the United States for the Navajo Nation (“Trust Lands”).  The Order also asserts that HRI’s Section 8 Churchrock property cannot be reached from State Highway 566 without crossing either Section 9 or Section 17, both of which are Trust Lands, and that the Highway 566 right-of-way does not abut or extend into the Section 8 Churchrock property.  The Order orders HRI to cease entering upon and crossing Section 9 and Section 17 for the purpose of transporting vehicles, equipment and/or personnel to the Section 8 Churchrock property until HRI obtains an appropriate right-of-way from the Navajo Nation, or provides documentation of a validly existing right-of-way or easement.  HRI is considering its response to the Order and will initiate discussions with the Navajo Nation.
