KELOWNA, BC, March 29, 2012 /CNW/ - Georox Resources Inc. ("Georox"or the "Corporation") (GXR:TSX-V; OF6A:FRA) is pleased to announce that it has acquired one section of land in northwest Alberta in a recent Crown Land Sale.
Georox was successful in acquiring one section (640 acres) of prospective oil and gas mineral rights located in the Swan Hills area of Alberta on March 21st, 2012. Georox has 45% working interest in the acquired land and is the designated operator in this area. The section of acquired land is adjacent to the one-half section that is subject to the Swan Hills farm-out agreement which the Corporation announced on October 14th, 2011 and is part of an area of mutual interest in that agreement.
The Swan Hills farmout, which now includes one and one-half sections of land (960 acres) as a result of the March 21st land sale, has the potential of high productivity light Devonian oil. Georox will drill, complete and equip the earning exploration well at 75% working interest before payout to earn a 45% working interest after payout in the balance of the farmout lands. There is seismic support as well as a geological cross section supporting the play. The deadline to drill the first farm-out well on April 1st, 2012 has been postponed due to early spring break-up road closures. A new drilling date is estimated to be in the third or forth quarter of this year. Georox is the designated Operator of the project.
