Blackdog Resources Ltd. ("Blackdog" or "the Company") (TSX VENTURE:DOG) is
pleased to announce that it commenced the drilling of its first non-operated
horizontal Cardium well in the Pembina area of Alberta on February 7, 2011.
Blackdog has a 15% working interest in the full section of land that the well is
being drilled on. The well is scheduled to be drilled to a total depth,
including the horizontal leg, of approximately 2,800 metres. The Company expects
drilling to take about 14 days to complete. The well logs will subsequently be
reviewed for future multistage fracture stimulation and potential future
production. The drilling location has been prepared to allow for future wells to
be drilled off of the same location as a successful well could lead to a
multiple well drilling program.
