SASKATOON, Sept. 25, 2012 /CNW/ - 49 North Resources Inc. ("49 North" or the "Company") (TSXV: FNR), through Allstar Energy Limited ("Allstar", a 100% owned subsidiary of 49 North) announces the commencement of a substantial 3D seismic program on its 100% owned Riverside lands.
Mr. Ashley Drobot, P.Geo, President and CEO of Allstar, reports that Allstar has recently commenced a 20.6 square kilometer 3D seismic program which is centered around the existing two wells on the Riverside lands. The current seismic program is key to providing geological information and direction in planning future exploration and development on the Riverside property. The program and interpretation are expected to be complete in October and should provide a significant number of additional drill targets. The total cost of the program is estimated at approximately $1,000,000 and is being funded by joint venture partner Westcore Energy Inc. ("Westcore") (TSXV: WTR). Details of the arrangement with Westcore were included in the joint press release of July 25, 2012.
In addition to the program just commenced, the Company has recently acquired 2.59 square kilometers of industry 3D seismic on the Riverside property. 49 North is very encouraged with the initial review of the purchased seismic, and has identified as many as five (5) initial new drilling targets. The Riverside property consists of 33,000 acres of highly prospective heavy oil lands in West Central Saskatchewan.
