December 19 - Mustang Geothermal to Start Drill Program in Peru
Mustang Geothermal Corporation (OTCBB: URXE) ("Mustang" or the "Company") announces that it plans to start a new exploration program consisting of 200 shallow temperature gradient drill holes on the Company's geothermal concessions in Peru . The shallow gradient drill program is a follow-up to the water chemistry sampling program that yielded promising results; indicating potentially viable geothermal reservoirs (see news release dated December 14, 2011 ).
The shallow gradient drill program provides for up to 200, 2-meter-deep drill holes which will be drilled using a motorized, man-portable soil-auger. Temperature is measured at the bottom of the hole using a resistivity-temperature-device (RTD) probe. The purpose of measuring precise temperature at a two meter depth is to explore for thermal anomalies resulting from a "blind" geothermal system at depth. The first meter of the soil acts as an insulating layer with temperature varying according to daily fluctuations, but the second meter of the drill hole tracks temperature that reflects deeper variations that are related to geothermal heat sources.
This method has been used to discover several blind geothermal systems that have ultimately resulted in the development of producing geothermal electrical power plants. The method is a relatively inexpensive method for determining near-surface manifestations of geothermal activity and existence of otherwise "blind" systems.
The drill program will start on the Condoroma Property, located near the settlement of Chaquelles, 29 kilometers southeast of the Swiss based Xstrata plc's Antapaccay copper project. Mustang plans to drill 100 shallow-temperature holes across the Condoroma geothermal concession to identify additional geothermal "hot-spots" and refine deeper drill targets on the property. The shape and size of the anomaly, coupled with geological and geophysical data are intended to narrow down the prospective areas for deeper exploration drilling.
"The ability to quickly and inexpensively generate additional information and potential new exploration targets at Condoroma as well as our other Mustang's geothermal concessions is important in fast-tracking the development of a geothermal resource in Peru and production of electrical power to meet the surging needs in Southern Peru ," commented the Richard Bachman, CEO of Mustang.

OBJE News:
January 18 - Social Media Tools Play Critical Role in Campaigning
As political campaigns heat up across the country, social media tools such as those in development by Obscene Interactive, a subsidiary of Obscene Jeans Corp. (OTCBB: OBJE), are playing an increasingly critical role in reaching voters and raising funds.
Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign was one of the first to use social media to help drive online political fundraising. The 2012 Obama campaign is forecasted to produce the first billion-dollar-candidate thanks in part to a custom online fundraising platform.
Social fundraising has become a critical strategy for 2012 candidates, with social media-powered campaigns making it easier than ever to execute strategies like money bombs and short-term fundraising pushes that dramatically increase the amount of money candidates collect in small donations as well as the speed with which they collect them.
One social fund-raising site, Fundly.com, launched the Fundly Political Index late last year to help track the velocity of political social fundraising across the Web. Fundly alone currently processes between $50-500,000 each day for political candidates on both sides of the fence, and at all levels of government.
OBJE is exploring the creation of the next generation of social platforms to help foster new relationships between candidates, social causes, entrepreneurs and donors and/or investors. These unprecedented digital tools represent the future of crowd-funding. In addition to raising money, candidates will be able to connect with existing supporters and reach out to voters who aren’t yet convinced. Accomplishments, such as campaign milestones, will get liked, shared, re-tweeted and reblogged instantly.
Digital followers who feel connected to the campaign will be more likely to make the leap from online supporter to offline volunteer—and financial supporter.
