OMDA Oil and Gas, Inc. Provides Legal Update and Announces Mediation Date

  OMDA Oil and Gas, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: OOAG) would
like to take this opportunity to provide a legal update on the status of
the company's lawsuit against former management. The judge in the case of
OMDA Oil and Gas vs. Lanza and Black Dragon has ordered numerous defendant
depositions and a second mediation in Dallas, Texas on January 28, 2010.
The appointed mediator is a highly qualified and experienced former judge
and arbitrator. In the event the case does not settle in mediation, a trial
date has been set for later in 2010.

On August 14, 2009, the judge granted partial summary judgment in favor of OMDA regarding specific issues dealing with ownership matters concerning OMDA Oil and Gas and its subsidiaries. Specifically, the rulings declared OMDA Management and OMDA Services were and are still subsidiaries of OMDA Oil and Gas, Inc. OMDA prevailing in this ruling helped to clarify several key legal issues in this case.

"We are extremely pleased with the progress in this matter," stated OMDA Chairman, Adam Barnett. "After such a long legal battle we can now see a bright light at the end of the tunnel. We are very encouraged by the recent legal rulings, and the opportunity for our legal team to further depose the defendants. With firm dates in place, we will finally be able to bring this case to a successful resolution."
