DALLAS, TX–(EMWNews – August 19, 2008) – Platina Energy Group, Inc. (OTCBB: PLTG)

(FRANKFURT: O5Y) reports the seventh successful new well activity on its

adding additional production through completion strategies to further

enhance product flow of both oil and gas from each well. Platina further

expects to drill additional wells over the next few months as offsets to

these proven producing sites.

refineries on a regular basis from these field activities that will be in

our next quarterly filing. The Company also expects to grow its current

production by at least 50-100% over the next 45-60 days,” stated Blair
