KELOWNA, BC, March 12, 2012 /CNW/ - Georox Resources Inc. ("Georox" or the "Corporation") (GXR:TSX-V; OF6A:FRA) is pleased to announce that it has acquired two sections of land in northwest Alberta in a recent Crown Land Sale.
Georox was successful in acquiring two sections (1280 acres) of prospective oil and gas mineral rights located in two areas of northwest Alberta on March 7th, 2012. Georox has a 45% working interest in the section acquired in the Virginia Hills area and 100% working interest in another area in northwest Alberta.
The section of land in the Virginia Hills area is adjacent to the section that is subject to the farm-out agreement which the Corporation entered into and announced on October 14, 2011.
The Virginia Hills project, which now includes two sections of land as a result of the March 7th land sale, has the potential of high productivity light Devonian oil. Georox will drill, complete and equip the earning Exploration well to earn a 75% working interest before payout and a 45% working interest after payout in the balance of the farm-out lands. The acquired section was part of the agreement which covers an area of mutual interest. There is 3-D seismic support as well as a geological cross section supporting the play. The deadline to drill the first farm-out well on March 1, 2012 has been postponed due to early spring break-up road closures. A new drilling date is estimated to be in the third quarter of this year.
This land acquisition is a strategic move in the growth of the company to drill and participate, in a low risk and high-growth, high potential, light oil potential development and exploration opportunity.
