Strata-X Ltd. ("Strata-X") (TSX VENTURE:SXE) announced today that the Slanovich
32-23P well, located in Fremont County, Colorado was plugged following hole
stability issues in the wellbore. The company intends to resume drilling in the
project at a later date following a detailed review of the data obtained from
this wellbore. 


The well was targeting the Pierre Formation at a depth of approximately 5,000
feet and was located within 2 miles of the Florence Field which has produced
approximately 15 million barrels of oil from the Pierre Formation.

The Florence Field is a shale oil field that was discovered in the 1800s and is
the second oldest oil field in the United States. The Slanovich 32-23P well is
offsetting a well that was drilled by Mountain Petroleum in 2007 which
encountered numerous intervals of fractures and visible oil shows. That well did
establish minor oil production in a deeper horizon but was not able to test the
Pierre Formation in that wellbore due to significant lost circulation zones.  


Strata-X owns a 41.67% working interest and its partner, Beach Energy, owns the
remaining 52.33% working interest in the well together with approximately 3,300
acres.


Vallecitos Oil Project 

After encountering oil shows and interpreted oil pay, the 6-32 RD2 well in the
Vallecitos Project in San Benito County, California is being completed for
production testing. It is anticipated that testing will commence later this
month. Integrating the results of the 6-31RD2 well, the joint venture has
reprocessed the project's 3D seismic grid and is currently in the process of
updating the subsurface mapping of the area. Pending results of the production
testing and new mapping, it's anticipated that another appraisal well could be
drilled later in 2012.


Strata-X owns a 22.5% working interest in the Vallecitos project with the
remaining interest owned by private parties.
