Further to the Company's news release on January 19, 2023, wherein, the overall drilling operations and related production from the success of the "new" well provided valuable geological data that was supportive of continuing its preliminary work for a second multi-leg horizontal well at Provost. As a result, the Company acquired an additional 240 acres that are contiguous with WesCan's current land position, all of which are 100% owned and operated by WesCan, ("100% working interest").
