NORSTRA ENERGY INC. WWW.NORSTRAENERGY.COM (OTCMKTS:NORX) ("Norstra"
or the "Company"), a company poised to expand the excitement of the
Bakken Shale oil deposit in North Dakota & Eastern Montana,
westerly towards the geologically promising Rocky Mountain front of
Lewis and Clark County, Montana, is pleased to announce they have
entered into a Farmout Agreement (the "Agreement") with Super Nova
Minerals (CNSX:SNP) (OTCMKTS:SNOVF) (the "Farmee" or "Super Nova"),
a Vancouver, BC based Oil and Gas Exploration and Production
company listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (Click here for
real-time level 2 stock quotes, company news and filings:
http://cnsx.ca/CNSX/Securities/Mining/Super-Nova-Minerals.aspx ).
Under the terms of the agreement, Super Nova will have the
ability to earn an 80% working interest in Norstra's entire Milford
Colony project In Lewis and Clark County, Montana covering roughly
10,000 acres. Norstra will be carried through the project owning a
20% working interest, without any further obligations of
contributing capital towards the drilling of any oil and or natural
gas wells. Norstra will remain in control of managing the project's
technical decisions in conjunction with their operator Black
Gold.
Under the terms of the agreement, the entire project is divided
among three "blocks" which are to be earned by the Farmee by paying
for and drilling a single vertical well on each of these blocks, to
first evaluate for shallower natural gas formations, then continue
to an approximate depth of roughly 8,900 feet to evaluate the
Bakken oil formation. After details are revealed about the
formation and its potential, the project operator in conjunction
with Norstra and the Farmee may elect to then undertake additional
development such as horizontal well legs and fracking programs.
Details of the timeline and investment obligation by Super Nova
to earn the three blocks are as follows:
1) Block #1 – (80% WI;
64.4% NRI) to the Farmee if: |
a) $25,000 is paid to
Norstra within 30 days from signing the agreement, and; |
b) $15,000 is paid to
Norstra 60 days from this agreement, and every month thereafter for
9 months, with a balloon payment occurring on the 365th day or
before for $210,000, and; |
c) $1,015,000 is paid to
Norstra to drill and evaluate the Bakken formation within 12
months. |
|
2) Block #2 &
#3 – (80% WI; 67.2% NRI) to the Farmee if: |
a) $1,015,000 is paid to
Norstra within 240 days of the completion of the well on block #1
to be used in drilling a Bakken targeted well on block #2 |
b) $1,015,000 is paid to
Norstra within 240 days of the completion of the well on block #2
to be used in drilling a Bakken targeted well on block #3 |
It has been brought to the Company's attention that there are
multiple productive natural gas wells within 7 miles of the
Company's Milford Colony prospect. The Norstra lands have since
been re-evaluated by the company and Super Nova's 3rd party
consulting engineers, which has confirmed potential for shallower
formations containing natural gas, providing a "stacked" play with
multiple opportunities within one hole for both oil and gas. There
is also a natural gas pipeline within 3 miles of the spudded and
cased Milford Colony 13-11 well providing crucial nearby
infrastructure for the company's gas potential.
Norstra would also like to report they have closed a $150,000
financing, which in combination with the funds due to the company
within 30 days and every month thereafter in connection with this
farmout agreement, provides the company with sufficient working
capital for the foreseeable future. The company also intends to
utilize some of the funds not employed in drilling to acquire new
drilling prospects within the US.
All Investors who have inquired about, and intended to inquire
about the Company's special preferred share offering to accredited
Investors are encouraged to reach out to the company to discuss
certain changes that have taken place.
Glen Landry, CEO, Norstra Energy said:
"The Company is very excited about this partnership with Super
Nova for several reasons. First and foremost we are impressed with
the credibility the Canadian resource market brings to the deal,
and although the mining sector has been somewhat stagnant of late,
the energy sector continues to flourish and raise money. Raising
money for this project on an organized exchange like the CNSX in
contrast to the OTC "market" will alleviate many Investor
objections and qualify many more institutional and individual
investors to participate. Canadian listed energy deals continue to
attract capital on the international circuit so having the CEO of
our new partner Super Nova, Mr. Wolf Wiese who is fluent in German,
will definitely expand our reach and be part of our collective
strategy going forward.
"This transaction potentially transforms Norstra into an oil
project generator and land holding company using third party
financing to drill our wells—which is a strategy to limit
Shareholder dilution—and can be very successful when properly
executed.
"Having been relegated to the Greysheets of the OTC Market,
without any further clarity from the SEC, this transaction provides
the best option for effectively raising capital to develop our
Milford Colony project. After 12 months has elapsed after our
suspension, and without further inquiry by the SEC, Norstra would
be eligible to submit form 15c-211 to become a fully quoted OTCQB
security once again. The company has maintained all of its SEC
reporting requirements since the suspension, and is anxious to the
possibility of additional market support in the near future."
