Black Star 231 Corp. has devoted considerable time and effort to exploration, mapping and study of major new oil discoveries in Nicaragua and Honduras. Black Star 231 Corp has retained drilling rights to what is perhaps the most perspective portion of the nearly 1,000,000 acre OKLANICSA concession. A short presentation of the prospect called the "Brito Block" is available for view here. Black Star 231 Corp is seeking an industry partner to join with them to drill the Brito Block Prospect, which is believed to hold as much as 250 million barrels of producible oil.

Black Star 231 also has a major stake in Honduras through its affiliation with Rose Dome Energy S.A., which stands poised to be awarded the first on-shore drilling concession ever awarded in Honduras. Black Star 231's president, Jim Pryor, served as Rose Dome's lead negotiator with the Ministers of the Energy and Environmental Ministry of Honduras, and with the advisory staff of the President of Honduras. Announcement of the discovery of significant oil reserves made headlines in that country, and included a press conference with Pryor at the Presidential Palace. A videos of the press conference can be viewed here. The discovery is referred to as the Honduras Atima Prospect, which is described on this website. Black Star 231 and Rose Dome Energy are seeking an industry partner to join with them to drill the Atima Prospect.
