[{"type":"text","content":"San Antonio, TX, February 24, 2006 / Cantex Energy Corp., (Pink Sheets-CTXE) announced today that drilling has commenced on the West Ant Hills Prospect as scheduled and has exercised its option to increase its working interest from 18% to 33%. \r\nTrace Maurin, President of Cantex Energy, commented, \"we are very pleased to have the drilling underway for Federal #1-24 Well, Niobrara County Wyoming with anticipated testing and completion in mid March\".\r\nIn addition the Company has agreed to exercise its option to earn a greater interest in the play by paying an additional $300,000 towards the drill program. Mr. Maurin states \"our level of optimism has risen significantly due to another operator along the same channel approximately one mile north of our first drill location, who is in the process of setting pipe and completing. Historical production rates indicate production of 150 to 200bbls per day, therefore we felt it was in the best interest of our shareholders to exercise our option to increase the Company's working interest to 33% resulting in a Net Royalty Interest of approximately 24 %\" \r\nCantex Energy Corp. is an independent, managed risk, oil and gas exploration, development, and production company headquartered in San Antonio, Texas.
