She honed her skills while working as the vice-president of exploration for three separate junior oil and gas companies. During her 26-year-long career, Ms. Eaton has worked for Suncor Energy, Husky Oil, Imperial Oil, several junior oil and gas companies, independent consulting companies, and with the Canadian Federal Department of Energy in Ottawa.

Her technical and business experience spans Western Canada, Quebec, Newfoundland, the Canadian Frontiers (East Coast Offshore and the Northwest Territories), the North Sea, Eastern Europe, Russia and Central and South America. She has consulted to numerous Canadian, British and American energy companies on corporate due diligence and financial, strategic, environmental and technical evaluations.

Ms. Eaton has experience in successfully pulling together and managing the entire oil and gas exploration and production process, including managing risk and regulatory compliance with respect to health, safety and environmental issues.

Ms. Eaton has written extensively on emerging technologies in the energy sector, including renewable energy. She contributes frequently to the Calgary based New Technology Magazine and the Alberta Oil Magazine.

It is our objective to build a team of professionals that reflect the great potential of our properties and our ambitions. We could already count on the expertise and the great professionalism of one the best geologist in the region in Mister Paul Laroche and we can now add Ms Eaton to be another important building block for our team."

Exploration program on the joint venture properties

As previously stated (see press release dated July 31st, 2008), Petrolympic announced that joint-venture operator Squatex had awarded a major contract to GPR International Inc. and Kinetex Inc. to complete the field acquisition of 200 kilometers of newReflection Seismic Profiles. During august and September, 125 kilometres of seismic lines were recorded to detail two "Utica plays" near Chambly and near Ste-Hélène over the St. Lawrence Lowlands Basin properties. 75 kilometres of regional lines were also acquired over the Bas-Saint-Laurent and Gaspé region properties to better understand the structural complexity of the Lower Silurian section and see its relation with the Ordovician shale source rocks.

Currently, Squatex is completing over the Bas-Saint-Laurent permits, through a contract awarded to INRS-ETE, the acquisition of a 1650 kilometres radiometric land survey, the collection of 350 soil samples for geochemical analysis and nearly 100 rock samples for maturity and TOC analysis along selected transects.

Since Petrolympic is not the operator on these projects, we are not at liberty to disclose any results at this time. However, Petrolympic’s financial obligations have been met in regards to these properties as over $2,000,000 have been spent by Petrolympic on the Squatex properties.

"I have stated in the past how important it was for Petrolympic to have such a significant holding over the Utica, Lorraine and Trenton-Black River Formations, and meeting our financials obligations to secure these interests was a priority." said Mendel Ekstein, President and CEO of the Company. "The good relationship we have with our joint venture partner is very beneficial for both parties. We are not in a position to communicate all details of these operations but we feel we have made a tremendous addition to our properties through this venture."

Petrolympic Drilling Program on 100% interest properties

On July 31st, 2008, Petrolympic announced that it had mandated Bissett Resource Consultants of Calgary to execute its first drilling project on the Matapédia property in the Gaspé region. Over $200K has already been spent on the preparation work for this drilling program. The drilling site has been identified from seismic interpretation over a large structural closure within a highly fractured zone and the approvals from all authorities have been obtained. The drilling pad has been prepared and the site is ready for the drilling operations. The site is less than three kilometres to the west of the C-125 Barthec Lac Matapédia No.1 well which obtained light oil in fractures.

As promising as this project is, Petrolympic has made the decision to postpone drilling at this site until the company deems the current industry and market conditions more favourable and receptive to such activity.

"After considering many factors, including the current global financial turmoil, we have concluded that we should concentrate most of our efforts on our Lowland properties as this seems to be the most immediate opportunity. During this period of global financial unrest, Petrolympic’s resources need to be allocated strategically as to ensure the best short term return on investment." said Mendel Ekstein, President and CEO of the Company.

New Website & current status

In its continuous effort to better inform its existing and potential shareholders, Petrolympic is proud to announce it has launched its new website: www.petrolympic.com

"We are working very hard to make this company a very serious contender in the oil and gas arena on the national and international scene. We understand that our image and the way we communicate with the investment community are crucial to our success and we are committed to continuously improve our communications tools. It is one of our goals to become a reference player in the sector for our efficiency and disclosure methods." said Mendel Ekstein, President and CEO of the Company.

Petrolympic will also be present at the "Québec Exploration 2008" show from November 24th to the 27th. Squatex’s representatives will join to share the Petrolympic booth and discuss current status of exploration. This event should regroup about 2000 attendees from the financial and resources field to assess and discuss the opportunities in the province of Quebec.

"With the financial crisis affecting the world economy and drastically lowering the energy prices, Petrolympic has chosen to be very cautious with its capital in order to weather this storm. But it is very important to understand that we have met all of our financial and operational obligations for 2008, including our flow-through allocations. The company has very low operational costs with adequate cash on hands (details to be provided in our next quarterly report). We are very confident that our properties have great potential and we will continue to manage this company cautiously while making sure that we continue to take every opportunities that these challenging times might offer in order to create the most value for our shareholders" said Mendel Ekstein, President and CEO of the Company.

Petrolympic Announces Expected Delay In Filing Annual Financial Statements

Toronto, Ontario, May 1, 2008 – Petrolympic Ltd. ("Petrolympic" or the "Company") (TSXV: PCQ ) reports that it has been delayed in filing its annual financial statements and annual Management Discussion & Analysis related thereto by the required filing date under applicable Canadian securities laws, namely April 29, 2008. The delay is attributable to a combination of reasons arising from the completion of a reverse take-over of Petrolympia Inc., a private corporation (the "Subsidiary"), in December 2007, which are as follows: (i) the year-end change from March 31 to December 31; (ii) change in the Company's auditors; (iii) change in the Company's management; and (iv) the implementation of internal control aimed at bringing the Subsidiary to the Company's level of reporting requirements.

Petrolympic is working with its auditors to complete the audit of the Company’s financial statements as soon as possible. The Company anticipates that it will be in a position to file its annual financial statements and related annual filings by June 30, 2008. Until its annual financial statements and related annual filings are filed, the Company intends to satisfy the requirements of the "alternate information guidelines" described in CSA Staff Notice 57-603 (the "Policy"), including issuing bi-weekly default status reports.

As a result of this delay, Petrolympic management has asked the Ontario Securities Commission, the British Columbia Securities Commission, the Alberta Securities Commission and the Autorité des marchés financiers to put in place a management cease trade order (the "MCTO") covering all persons who are directors, officers or insiders of the Company or who have been directors, officers or insiders of the Company during the period that the financial statements are being prepared. Pursuant to the Policy, if the Company's annual financial statements and related annual filings are not filed by June 30, 2008, one or all of the Ontario Securities Commission, the British Columbia Securities Commission, the Alberta Securities Commission or the Autorité des marchés financiers may impose an issuer cease trade order against Petrolympic. The
Company does not believe that it will be affected by this aspect of the Policy because it anticipates that it will be in a position to file its annual financial statements and related annual filings by June 30, 2008. The MCTO will remain in place until two full business days following receipt by the commissions of all filings that the Company is required to make pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws.

The properties are located in the Silurian-Devonian basin of the Gaspé Peninsula.

A previous well (C-125) drilled by the Company's subsidiary in 2004 in the northern part of the properties obtained very interesting light oil shows.

The Company has also begun planning for the drilling of a deep well in the area next summer to explore the possibility of the presence of light oil in fractures within the Upper Silurian and the Lower Devonian reservoir rocks on a large structural closure defined from the previous seismic data acquired in 2006. The well is expected to have a target depth of approximately 1500 metres.
