EXHIBIT 99.1
On November 12, 1997, the Registrant issued the following press release:
"MAR VENTURES INC. CHANGES NAME TO PYR ENERGY CORPORATION
DENVER- Mar Ventures Inc. (OTC EBB: MRVI) today announced that the name of
the company has been changed to PYR ENERGY CORPORATION. The company is now
traded under the symbol "PYRX" (OTC EBB: PYRX).
"The name 'PYR Energy Corporation' more accurately reflects our business
focus and serves to re-establish the name recognition created in the oil and gas
industry by our predecessor, PYR Energy, LLC," said D. Scott Singdahlsen,
President and CEO of PYR Energy Corporation.
PYR Energy Corporation applies advanced 3-D seismic and computer-aided
exploration ("CAEX") technology to systematically explore for and exploit
onshore domestic oil and natural gas accumulations in the western United States.
The Company is currently exploring for oil and gas in the San Joaquin Basin of
California and the Rocky Mountains.
