Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

On March 29, 2015, the State of Israel's Minister of Infrastructure, Energy and Water Resources (the “Energy Minister”) approved the annexation of 67,950 dunam (approximately 16,791 acres) into Zion’s existing Megiddo-Jezreel Petroleum Exploration License No. 401. The additional acreage derived from the southern portion of Zion’s former Jordan Valley License. An approximate equal amount of acreage was relinquished from our Megiddo-Jezreel License so that the overall total area of our license remains at approximately 400,000 dunam (400 square kilometers or 98,842 acres), the maximum size authorized under Israel law. Zion filed our application to Israel’s Petroleum Commissioner on April 10, 2014 so it has taken almost one year to gain final approval.
