On June 11, 2009, the registrant and its wholly-owned subsidiary (collectively "PetroHunter") closed on the sale of an undivided 25% working interest in its four exploration permits comprising approximately seven million acres in the Beetaloo Basin of the Northern Territory, Australia, to Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd. and its subsidiaries. Falcon now has a 75% working interest in the Beetaloo Basin project and is the operator. PetroHunter retains an undivided 25% working interest.
