Re:
Ignis Petroleum Corporation - Exploration Advisor Consultant Agreement

Dear Joe:

It is with great pleasure that I extend to you the consulting position of
Exploration Advisor. In your role, you will be a member of the Company's Board
of Advisors whose responsibility is to work towards fulfilling the Company's
goals, while providing ongoing recommendations to the executive team and board
of directors, both strategic and tactical in nature. The agreement is for one
year from the date of signing with two, one-year options to renew as mutually
agreed.

POSITION SUMMARY - You will be responsible for providing input on matters of
strategic, business development and technical importance, and will be an advisor
to the executive team. The position overview is provided in Exhibit A and
specific milestones for the first year in Exhibit B. You will be instrumental in
Ignis' technical planning and evaluation and participate in fund raising as
requested. This is a part-time position that will typically require two or more
days per month in total commitment. At critical times, such as opportunity
evaluation and planning, the time commitment may be more, but this would be
considered unusual.

COMPENSATION - You will be provided a combination of cash, restricted common
stock and common stock options as detailed in Exhibit C. We will provide you a
cash retainer which will be replenished monthly. You will be granted up to
350,000 shares of Ignis Petroleum Group, Inc. stock over a period of three
years. And you will be provided common stock options coinciding with the
successful placement of funds into the company in which you personally assisted.
A form 1099 will be provided at the end of each year for the payment of your
services.

We are excited about your participation and are confident of the contributions
you will make to achieve the goals of Ignis Petroleum.
