Georox Resources Inc. Signs Coteau Lake, Saskatchewan Participation Agreement
KELOWNA, BC, May 9, 2012 /CNW/ - Georox Resources Inc. ("Georox" or the "Corporation") (GXR:TSX-V; OF6A:FRA) is pleased to announce that it has signed a participation agreement with respect to a farm-in agreement on lands in the Coteau Lake area in southeastern Saskatchewan and northeast Montana.
The participation in the farm-in includes three and one-quarter sections of land (2080 gross acres) with the potential of high productivity light/medium (30 degree API) Mississippian oil. Georox will pay 100% of the farmee's 85% of the costs to drill, complete and test an "earning" horizontal exploration well to earn a 31.875% working interest before payout and 21.25% working interest after payout in the test well quarter section and one additional quarter section. Subsequent to Georox earning its initial interest in the farm-in lands, Georox may participate in option wells to earn a 31.875% before payout and 21.25% after payout in additional 320 acre blocks for each well drilled by paying 42.5% of the costs to drill, complete and equip such additional wells.
The contract depth of the initial earning well is approximately 1,975m and the estimated cost net to Georox to drill, complete and test is approximately $1.565 MM. This earning well is to be drilled immediately after spring break up in mid-May 2012. Three (3) additional earning well locations have been identified and are expected to be drilled subsequent to the drilling and testing of the first well.
This farm-in is considered by management to be a major strategic move in the growth of the Corporation and provides Georox with the opportunity to drill and participate, in a high-potential, light/medium oil potential exploration opportunity.
