Release (CWQ-TSX-V)
(CWLXF.PK Pink Sheets)
Disclaimer: The TSX Venture
Exchange has not reviewed and does not accept responsibility for the
adequacy or accuracy of this release.
Langley, BC,
Canada, 27 June 2008.
Curlew Lake Resources Inc. (the "Company") (TSX-V: CWQ) (Pink Sheets
CWLXF) announces it has completed a private placement of 1,000,000
flow-through units to raise a total of $100,000.
The flow-through units will be priced at $0.10 per unit. The units will
consist of one flow-through common share and one-half flow-through share
purchase warrant. Each full share purchase warrant entitles the holder
to acquire one flow-through common share of the Company for a period of
twelve months at a price of $0.15 per share. Funds will be used for
ongoing drilling and completion operations on our Saskatchewan oil
projects.
In response to shareholder enquiries, the Company would like to update
shareholders on the Métis project.
Recently the Company was notified that the Operator, Métis Moccasin
Resources, has put out a notice of sale for their interest in this
project. It is the opinion of management that the project may not be
economically viable given the demands of the Métis groups involved.
In June 2006 an agreement was signed between the Métis Settlements
General Council, Kikino Métis Settlement and Métis Moccasin Resources
(the “Operator”). This agreement outlined the following 1. Métis
Moccasin Resources would acquire the oil and natural gas rights from the
Alberta Government. 2. the Kikino Settlement and General Council would
provide surface access to the Project Area in return for certain
royalties and other considerations, and 3. the Alberta Government would
receive its normal royalties from production.
After the agreements were signed Frontier Engineering, under contract to
the Operator, began site surveys. This program was stopped when the
partners were informed that an additional fee was being demanded which
was not in the signed master agreement. The Operator advised us that
the local Kikino Council required a fee for “Loss of Traditional Land
Use”. The Kikino council believed this to be part of the deal although
it is not in any of the signed documents. The fee for loss of
traditional use was set at $3,000 per month per well whether that well
was economically viable or not.
The Operator along with Curlew and Propel deem this unreasonable and
unfortunately have not been able to proceed with the project given such
terms. As the Operator is no longer willing to negotiate further with
the local Métis Settlement, Curlew Lake management has established
contact. We have been informed that the entire deal requires
renegotiation, and that the Loss of Traditional Use Fee was still
required.
Company management continues to explore participation in new projects
and is assessing whether additional time and resources should be spent
on this project. If this questionable new fee cannot be renegotiated,
the Company will focus its efforts on recouping the money for minerals
rights paid to the Government of Alberta. Meanwhile the Company will
continue to examine new projects which are currently available, which
have the potential to add substantial shareholder value.
Also in response to shareholder enquiries with regard to results of our
2007 exploration program on the Typhoon Gold Project in the Yukon, we
refer them to a News Release dated March 4, 2008. Although no
significant results were obtained, we had some encouraging results and
intend to carry out exploration on new targets as soon as funds are
available.
