On January 25, 2007, Siberian Energy Group Inc.’s (“our,” “we,” “us,” and the “Company’s”) Board of Directors took action to ratify the Company’s entry into a Consulting Agreement with Business Standard, a Russian company (the “Consulting Agreement”), which Consulting Agreement provides for Business Standard to provide us certain consulting services in connection with investigating financing opportunities, assisting in the Company's day to day business management, assisting in negotiations with potential investment partners, as well as assisting in the application for oil and gas exploratin and production licenses by our wholly owned subsidiary Kondaneftegaz LLC ("Kondaneftegaz") or current and potential investee companies in the Western Siberia region of Russia. We agreed to pay Business Standard $15,000 per month pursuant to the Consulting Agreement and also agreed to issue Business Standard 200,000 shares of our restricted common stock as a signing bonus in connection with its entry into the Consulting Agreement and 200,000 restricted shares of common stock in connection with the acquisition of Kondaneftegaz. The Consulting Agreement ends on December 31, 2007, but is automatically extended for additional one (1) year terms unless either party communicates its desire to terminate the agreement to the other party fifteen (15) days prior to the end of the then current term.

On January 31, 2007, Mr. Zaikin notified us that effective February 1, 2007, he was withdrawing his previous request to not accrue any salary until we had sufficient funds to pay such salary, and instead requested that we pay him his 2007 salary if funds were available for such payments and/or that we accrue such salary until we have sufficient funds to repay him any accrued amounts.
