Item 8.01 Other Events

Mining Oil Fails to Reach a Definitive Agreement for Acquisition of Sterling Exploration & Production Co., LLC, and Yazoo Pipeline Co., LP and these Targets Seek Protection from Creditors in Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Filing

On December 23, 2008, Sterling Exploration & Production Co., L.L.C. (“Sterling”), Yazoo Pipeline, L.P. (“Yazoo”), and Matagorda Operating Company (“Matagorda”), filed a petition for order of relief under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Laws, in the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division. Mining Oil, Inc. (the “Company”) and the debtors and the controlling interest holders had entered into a letter of intent under which the Company was to acquire all of the equity of the debtor companies. The parties contemplated that the transaction would close in the fourth quarter of 2008, if the Company could obtain financing. The parties did not reach a definitive agreement for the transaction before the debtors filed the voluntary petitions.

The Company had made loans to Sterling during 2008 in the principal amount of $590,000.00. These loans matured on December 15, 2008, and each note is in default. The loans are secured by the assets of Sterling and Yazoo and the equity shares of Sterling, Yazoo, and Matagorda. The Company is not the first lien holder of these interests. The Company is a secured creditor in each of the bankruptcy proceedings. The Company’s right to pursue recovery against the debtors and the assets is stayed pending action by the court. The Company believes that it has adequate security for the loans, but it will seek adequate protection for its collateral during the bankruptcy proceeding.
