A special company
with a special task
in a special country

Background
 
Zion Oil & Gas was formed in 2000 by John Brown, a man of deep Christian faith. The company, which is listed on the American Stock Exchange, explores for oil and gas on two onshore exploration licenses covering approximately 162,000 acres between Tel Aviv and Haifa.

Vision
 
From day one, the calling of Zion Oil & Gas was to assist in the restoration of the Land by finding oil and gas, helping to make Israel politically and economically independent.

Faith & Science
 
In the beginning, Zion operated on faith alone, but today it is also based on hard science. Zion's geologists have put together a country-wide seismic database consisting of 219 seismic sections totaling 2,000 miles, so as to better understand the geology of the license areas. We have included information gathered from all of the wells drilled in Israel.
 
The Zion team is developing four leads and one prospect in the license areas and, based on these studies, we believe that there are prospective hydrocarbonbearing intervals at depths between 12,500 and 18,000 feet and that there may be approximately 20,000 productive acres.
 
In 2005, Zion drilled the Ma'anit #1 well on the Ma'anit structure in the Joseph license area, and shows of hydrocarbons were recorded from 12,000 feet to 15,500 feet, but due to mechanical problems the well was abandoned in June 2007.  

The Future
 
However, a tremendous amount was learned and, armed with that knowledge, the company plans to re-enter the same wellbore this year and then 'sidetrack' (drill directionally) to a distance approximately 2,500 feet northeast of the present location by the time the well reaches its true vertical  depth of 18,040 feet (in the Permian section of the Paleozoic Age).

New Public Offering

Zion has licenses, scientific data, technology, qualified, experienced and honest people. But oil and gas exploration costs money, so we need investors. In the event of success, the investors' reward may be great, not only financially but also in the knowledge of being part of something truly biblical and prophetic.

Zion's underwriter is now accepting subscriptions at $10 per unit. Each unit will consist of one share of Zion stock + one warrant. The warrant will allow you to buy another share at a fixed price of $7 until January 31, 2012, irrespective of the price on the stock market.

So a $10 subscription will buy one share of Zion stock plus the right (but not the obligation) to buy one more share at a fixed price of $7 at any time from late 2008 until January 31, 2012). The minimum subscription is 100 units or $1,000.

The full details are set out in the Prospectus which is available to download and review on our website www.zionoil. com on the 'Investor Relations' page.

We need and value your support. Shalom from Israel.
