NEW YORK, July 25, 2007 -- Omagine, Inc. (OTC BB:OMAG.OB - News) (``Omagine'' or the ``Company'') today announced significant progress toward the imminent attainment of its primary strategic objective.

Omagine's president, Frank J. Drohan, remarked, ``The draft Development Agreement for the Omagine Project (the ''Final Draft``) was completed and presented to the Ministry of Tourism (MOT) on July 5, 2007 and the MOT has officially circulated it among other appropriate concerned ministries for final review and comment. The highly unusual occurrence in June of a cyclone and holiday closings in July caused some delays but we now fully expect to sign the Development Agreement in August.''

Drohan continued, ``Both we and the government are pleased with the Final Draft. We are presently forming and organizing Omagine LLC -- the local project company in Oman -- which will be jointly owned by our subsidiary and J&P. During the past sixty (60) days we have held numerous meetings and discussions with potential investors and leading banks in the region and there is a very high degree of interest on their part to participate in the Omagine Project.''

In June the Company's subsidiary Journey of Light, Inc. (``JOL'') signed an updated and amended agreement (``Amended Agreement'') with Joannou & Paraskevaides (Overseas) Ltd. (``J&P''). The Amended Agreement extends the original J&P-JOL agreement and firmly aligns the interests of the Company and J&P relating to the financial closing, construction, ownership and operation of the Omagine Project. The validity date of the Amended Agreement was also extended to reflect both the execution of the Development Agreement in the next few weeks and the subsequent financial closing for the Omagine Project.

Drohan commented, ``The Company's relationship with J&P has been further strengthened as we collectively work to organize Omagine LLC, update the Project's financial model and arrange the financial closing for the Omagine Project. As previously planned, J&P will be a significant investor and will receive a minority equity stake in Omagine LLC.
