Southern Pacific Resource Corp. has received the results of the contingent resource report from Degolyer & MacNaughton Canada Ltd. (“D&M”) in regard to its recently acquired land positions in two new distinct core areas.
When acquired in June, these areas consisted of 76 sections of 80% owned lands. The acquisition was previously announced on June 1, 2007. Since that announcement the Corporation has acquired an additional 13 sections in these two areas at a recent Crown land sale bringing the total to 89 sections.
The Corporation’s bitumen resource base increase reflects evaluation of the well control and seismic information that was available in the areas. The Corporation has planned an extensive seismic and delineation drilling program for the upcoming fall and winter. The aggressive land acquisition and exploration program of the Corporation will continue through the summer and into the next winter’s exploration program.
