ASPEN EXPLORATION CORPORATION (OTC: BB–ASPN.OB), operating primarily in northern California is engaged in the business of acquiring and developing interests in domestic oil and gas properties. The Company has a talented staff that allows Aspen to keep overhead costs low and yet participate in numerous exploration and development drilling deals as well as production purchases.

Aspen currently has working interests in approximately 70 producing gas wells (54 operated by Aspen), mostly high BTU natural gas, and has a very active drilling program planned for 2006. In the past 5 years, Aspen has successfully completed 31 gas wells out of 35 attempts, which is an 89% success ratio, a record virtually unheard of in the oil and gas exploration business. 3-D seismic data and qualified interpreters are essential for this exploration. All of the selected drill sites for 2006 have been identified through the use of 3-D seismic techniques, which have demonstrated great improvement in the percentages of successful oil and gas discoveries. New and additional drilling locations for gas wells are constantly being sought, based on solid geology in conjunction with 3-D seismic information. The Sacramento Valley of California, where current activities are focused, include extensive, nationally important oil and gas production and refining facilities, thereby allowing quick hook-up and production of gas when a discovery is made. The Aspen staff and consultants have also found representatives of the State of California to be very cooperative and it is not difficult to obtain permits for new exploratory wells or to expand existing production.

CEOCFO: Mr. Cohan, will you give us a little background on Aspen, please?

Material Technologies’ (Matech) Bridge Engineer Comments on Recent Reports of Cracking in Two Important Bridges

Two reports of cracks in two important bridges were issued in the first two weeks of October, 2005.  The bridges, the Throgs Neck Bridge which connects The Bronx to Queens in New York City and the Battersea Bridge in London, are heavily traveled and carry significant commercial, commuter and private traffic.    In the Throgs Neck Bridge, the reported cracks occurred due to repeated loading by heavy commercial trucks.  The existence of such a large number of cracks took engineers by surprise since the bridge is only 40 years old and has been carefully monitored under federal inspection guidelines. The Battersea Bridge, struck by a passing barge, had a much smaller number but much longer cracks that posed both short-term strength and long-term crack growth concerns. It is scheduled to remain closed until next June.
