Dallas-based Columbus Ventures Inc. has changed its name to Bald Eagle Energy Inc., Dallas, (OTCBB: BEEI) and acquired a land position in the Alaskan North Slope.

Bald Eagle holds 100% working interest in six leases covering 18,418 acres east of the Arctic Fortitude Unit and south of the Prudhoe Bay Unit.

Bald Eagle chief financial officer Alvaro Vollmers says, “Our company's primary area of interest is located near the largest oil field in North America, which has garnered much attention attracting many of the best people in the business. This allows us to enlist industry experts as consultants and third-party drilling companies with significant industry knowledge of Alaska, while reducing costs through keeping a minimum-sized experienced management team.

“We see the opportunity we have in Alaska as a prospect for long-term shareholder growth with the significant upside of our proximity to the Prudhoe Bay Field.” SJP
