Lotta Coal Announces Acquisition of Strategic Oil and Gas Properties in Northern Alberta, Canada
Lotta Coal Inc. announced the closing of its acquisition of three oil and gas exploration companies in Northern Alberta — Peace West Energy Corporation (“PWEC”), Great Bear Explorations Inc (“GBX”) and Lesser Slave Lake Explorations Inc. (“LSL”). The Companies were acquired for a total of 45,000,000 shares of common stock of LCOL, issued under rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933.
PWEC’s total land holdings include 54,720 acres (85.5 square miles) in the Boyer area, (including Beaver First Nation Reserves), a prolific shallow gas field near High Level in Northern Alberta, with approximately 1,100 producing shallow gas wells, and a well developed pipeline and processing infrastructure.
GBX currently has a land base of approximately 39,680 acres (62 square miles), consisting of surface and sub-surface rights on the Woodland Cree First Nations Reserves 226, 227, and 228, which have been farmed out to GBX pursuant to a Joint Venture Agreement. A major international oil and gas company has an extensive heavy oil operation adjacent to the property, and there is also significant potential for both light oil and gas, based on the Company’s analysis which includes the many producing wells drilled in several formations adjacent to and near the properties.
LSL currently has a land base of approximately 10,880 acres (17 square miles) consisting of surface and sub-surface rights on the Swan River First Nations Reserve. Significant gas and light oil potential is apparent, based on historical drilling results as well as the extensive exploration activity by numerous companies surrounding the LSL holdings.
Through these acquisitions, the Company now has rights to over 105,000 acres (160 square miles) of land to explore and develop oil and gas. Importantly, adjoining each of the separate areas, major companies have been operating successfully for many years.
In phase 1 of its development strategy, the Company plans a seismic and drilling exploration program to maximize the recovery of potential reserves and refine its future development strategy for the various land parcels, and to acquire further property in its core areas.
