DOG desires the right to earn from PSC an assignment, pursuant to paragraph 3

grant such right and/or option as provided herein.

NOW,
THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants
contained herein, to be kept and performed by the parties hereto, and other
valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:

	1.  	
      TEST
      WELL

On or
before July 1, 2005, on behalf of DOG and its partners, PSC shall participate in
drilling the initial test well (“C&C Minerals-NNG #1-7”) to a depth of
7,000’ TVD or deep enough to adequately test the Mokelumne, Bunker and Starkey
seismic anomalies. The Test Well shall be directionally drilled to intersect
potential productive sands.

	2.  	
      COSTS

DOG shall
pay 18.75% of 100% of all costs and expenses of drilling, testing completing and
equipping the C&C Minerals-NNG #1-7 which shall include the costs of the
wellhead and other required surface production equipment, and all pipelines and
meters required to produce and transport the gas production to a gas sales line
or other point where the production can be marketed and sold, or 18.75% of 100%
of all costs associated with the plugging and abandoning the C&C
Minerals-NNG #1-7, whichever is the case. An Authorization for Expenditure for
the C&C Minerals-NNG #1-7 shall be forwarded to DOG prior to commencement of
drilling operations. This Authorization of Expenditure shall represent the
estimated cost of the C&C Minerals-NNG #1-7 and PSC shall have the right to

share of any estimate costs and expenses in excess of the Authorization for
Expenditure. If DOG fails or refuses to make any such advance payments, DOG
