The well will seek to target the Company's first production on the Paradox project, and it is expected that drilling operations will commence in July as previously forecast.

The Company announced that it has received all final approvals and permits required to proceed with the drilling of the well. These approvals include surface rights and rights to drill from the Utah School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration (SITLA), approvals from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and Application to Drill (APD) approval from the Utah Division of Oil, Gas and Mining (DOGM).  In addition, the Company has received all necessary consents from its joint-venture partner on the Paradox project.

With all approvals and permits now in place, the Company is working to finalise the project contracts needed to enable the Company to meet its proposed timeline of a July spud date.
