Langley, BC,
Canada, 4 March 2008.
Curlew Lake Resources Inc. is pleased to announce its
participation in a second well on the Minard area oil prospect in S.E.
Saskatchewan. The operator of the project, Propel Energy Corp.,
has taken advantage of well availability and spudded a second well on
the prospect. To provide funding for this well and another 3 wells
proposed for this project, the Company has entered into an agreement
with a private Ontario company. The agreement provides for 100% funding
by the private company for the second well and for loans to Curlew to
cover its share of funding of the following proposed 3 wells. In return
the private company will be granted 50% of Curlew’s interest in all 5
wells on the prospect. This arrangement will allow Curlew to
participate with a 12.5% working interest in 5 horizontal wells in the
Frobisher zone on the Minard project with no requirement for further
equity financing. More detailed results will be available on these
wells in a month or two when stabilized production rates are
established. We expect this project to ensure a positive cash flow to
Curlew for some time.
Testing is underway on the second well on the Fosterton project in
Saskatchewan, in which Curlew holds a 15% working interest. The first
well on this project has been producing for about a year.
The Company is still awaiting a final report on the exploration program
on its Typhoon gold prospect in the Yukon. The report has been delayed
by an exceptionally long delay in receiving assay results. This is what
is known as a grass roots exploration project, as no known gold had
previously been discovered “in place” on the lands. Over several years
the Company has acquired, by purchase and staking, claims covering
approximately 9 square miles (about 24 sq. kms} over an area where
substantial gold has been recovered by placer miners from creeks on 3
sides and in the center of the property. We have now been informed that
placer miners plan to be active again on our lands in 2008. Although no
definitive results were obtained in the 2007 program, we have now
established that gold occurs “in place” in the geological system, as
anomalous gold, along with significant sulphide mineralization, was
encountered in several drill holes. One particularly encouraging result
was a sample over 1 metre that ran 1.66 grams gold per ton, but when
rerun using a metallic screening method, gave a 1.74 grams per ton
result after averaging a higher value in the coarse fraction and a lower
value in the finer fraction. We intend to rerun additional samples
using this method as it indicates the possibility of a nugget effect.
We note that other companies are using metallic screening assay methods
in similar geological environments. We are encouraged by the
exploration results to date and will be studying the new data and
planning further work to test more of the target areas remaining on the
property that have been established by geological, geochemical and
geophysical surveys.
In order to conserve cash for other projects, the Company has negotiated
payment of a portion of the funding for the 2007 Typhoon exploration in
shares. A total of $58,000 will be paid to 2 contractors by the issue
of 580,000 common shares at a price of $0.10 per share, subject to
regulatory approval.
