BALTIMORE, Dec. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Board of Directors of Petroleum & Resources Corporation (NYSE:PEO) voted today to extend its share repurchase program and has authorized the repurchase of up to 5% of the outstanding shares of the Corporation's common stock through December 31, 2010.

The repurchase program was initiated in 1999 and has been reauthorized by the Board each year since. Petroleum & Resources Corporation is a Baltimore-based closed-end investment company.
