Santa Fe Petroleum, Inc. Provides Business Update

PLANO, TX, June 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ - Santa Fe Petroleum, Inc. (OTCBB: SFPI) announced today that the management team continues to work diligently towards achieving its business plan to move from an exploration stage oil and gas company to a producing entity. Thus, the Company's current primary focus is the acquisition of producing oil & gas properties with additional drilling acreage to increase the Companies revenue income and asset base.

According to Tom Griffin, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Santa Fe Petroleum, Inc., "We remain focused on securing capital to utilize for deploying across our system, generating strong returns and delivering the positive results our shareholders expect. We look forward to achieving solid production and long term reserves with our existing leases. However, our current primary focus is the acquisition of existing oil producing projects with substantial additional acreage for ongoing drilling, thus additional possible production revenue for the Company. We believe that the income from the acquisitions along with successfully drilled projects will become a spring board for additional larger production acquisitions, thus ongoing income growth and the expansion of our asset base."

Santa Fe has always maintained a policy of stringent guidelines for the selection of its drilling projects to reduce the risk as much as possible, although there is no guarantee of a 100% success rate; Santa Fe's commitment to its stock holders is to maintain the highest possible standards for the selection of its projects.
