("Encanto") is pleased to announce the initial interpretations of results from its 65 square kilometre 3D survey over the Muskowekwan First Nation Lands in central Saskatchewan.\nBoyd PetroSearch ("Boyd") has been analyzing the data for approximately 4 weeks and results to date support the findings of the original 2D survey which was acquired in early 2009.

Barlon Engineering Group Ltd. ("Barlon") of Calgary, Alberta has been selected to manage the upcoming delineation drill program for the Muskowekwan Project.\nThe selection of the four sites of the upcoming program was based on the interpretations of the 3D data. Surveying, lease preparation, and applications for well licenses are underway. Actual drilling should commence in September and core results should be analyzed in time to have a CIMM compliant resource completed by November with the 43-101 technical report following shortly thereafter.\nThe selection of the drill hole locations were based on consulta...
