KELOWNA, BC, March 12 /CNW/ - Georox Resources Inc. ("Georox" or the "Company") today filed its audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 and related Management's Discussion and Analysis on www.sedar.com.
Overview
Georox is a company engaged in the acquisition of, exploration for and the development of petroleum and natural gas properties. Over the course of 2009, as a result of change in Ecuadorian natural resources law, the Company let lapse or disposed of all Ecuadorian assets held by the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries. The 215 contiguous units of claims that the company staked in April, 2008 in the West Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia was not renewed in February, 2009. During this period, the Company also acquired interests in a property in Gift Lake, Alberta which has five producing oil wells and a gross overriding royalty on the sixth well. The Company intends to continue to pursue economically attractive petroleum and natural gas properties in and around Alberta, Saskatchewan and British Columbia.
Highlights - The Company has reduced net operating losses in 2009 by $148,299 as compared to 2008 a total loss of $440,879 due to the acquisition of income producing properties, reduction in general and administrative expenditures, the sale of part of its investment in Canuc Resources Corporation and revenues received from the income producing property purchased. This loss excludes the loss from discontinued operations of its Ecuadorian Assets. - Georox's production from the Gift Lake property for the 6 months ending on December 31, 2009 amounted to $631,189. The Company's total production from the Gift Lake property was 8,902 bbls of oil with a daily average volume of 56 BOE per day. - Georox realized a gain of $112,784 on the sale of an investment in the common shares of Canuc Resources Corporation. The fair market value as at December 31, 2009 of the remaining investment in common shares of Canuc Resources Corporation is $174,248. - The Company recorded a total loss of $495,036 for the year ended December 31, 2009. The loss arose primarily as a result of the write down of all of the Ecuadorian assets, other mineral properties and the severance payment to a former employee. - Total operating costs were $131,761 or $14.08 per BOE. This is attributable to a combination of fixed costs being spread over volumes of production, workover requirements on one well and a high percentage of processing fees by the operator on three wells.
